Sometimes you just have to go for it. Having never planned an event before, the Swapcard team decided they were going to hold an online conference experience for the meetings and events industry. As the coronavirus pandemic hit the world, it hit our industry particularly hard… And it quickly became obvious we have to EVOLVE.

 

And so, the Evolve Conference was born!

 

We’ve all experienced many online meetings, webinars, and conferences through this time period, and one thing is certain -- the need for GOOD online conferences is not going away. When done well, they are a very FULL and enriching experience, complete with education and networking.

 

Isaïe Simonnet was on the production team from EPEAK Studio, which was behind helping bring the event to life, and Damien’s team at Swapcard planned the event. Isaïe and Damien walk us through the planning and execution of Evolve, including the lessons learned, which will surely help our entire industry learn how to execute a successful online experience.
