Ever thought online conferences could feel just like being at a real event, moving from one room to another based on what interests you? Well, that’s exactly what we’re doing with our platform, Talking Slides.
Why have different rooms?
Think of a big building filled with different talks happening all at once. You want to visit the ones that catch your eye – That’s what we do, but online. You can jump from a main plenary and parallel sessions to smaller group discussions or even to an exhibition space without leaving your seat.
Easy to Get Around
We’ve made sure that finding your way around these online spaces is simple and easy to navigate. When you log into the event, you’ll land on a page that’s your guide. It tells you what’s happening and where. You can pick a room based on the topic, just like choosing which talk you want to listen to at a live event.
Once you enter a room, you can watch live talks, look at the schedule, and even pick talks to watch later if you missed them live.
Why It Works
Giving people choices makes the conference more engaging. You decide what you want to watch and when. Plus, everything looks and sounds clear, just as if you were there in person.
We also make it easy for speakers. They can record their talks ahead of time, and we help them make sure everything from their camera to their sound is perfect. On the conference day, we play their recorded talks, making it seem live.
Talking and Asking Questions Live
Even though the talks might be recorded, the question and answer parts are live. You can ask questions through chat or a special question tool, and the speakers can answer right there and then.
Special Features for Sponsors and Speakers
There are also special areas for sponsors, just like booths at a live conference. Plus, we have a page where you can read about the speakers, making the online conference feel even more personal.
Looking Forward
We’re excited to keep making online conferences better and more engaging. Whether it’s showing talks, having live Q&As, or giving spaces for sponsors, we believe this is a great way to learn and connect, no matter where you are. Find out more about our Talking Slides platform here.
