To Children With Love
The Challenge
Our client was to have a global conference and in light of the Covid-19 Pandemic Davis Virtual Events Agency was then tasked with creating a Covid-19 friendly alternative that would engage a global audience, provide a unique and memorable event experience, an excellent platform for internationally renowned speakers and raise funds and awareness for the To Children with Love charity.
The Solution
Due to Coronavirus pandemic hosting a physical event was impossible. Instead our team opted to host the conference virtually. The client required a user friendly software for broadcasting the event. We selected a conference and webinar solution that is a robust, reliable and technically excellent platform while being easy to navigate for speakers and audience.
Working closely with our client we pivoted the event concept from a conference style into a fireside chat style series of events. We created a series of events featuring influential figures and experts discussing their struggles and solutions during this “new normal”.
Inspirational speakers at the events included former President of Ireland Mary McAleese, RTÉ’s Brendan O’Connor, Mary Kennedy, Marie Hunt, Joanna Fortune and Jenny Keane with host Debbie Deegan live in conversation.
The aim of the event was not only to raise awareness and funds for the children’s charity but to offer guidance and support to people during this difficult time.
Result
The To Children with Love’s chat series was a five part event that hosted interviews with some of Ireland’s famous faces including, former president Mary McAleese, RTE’s Nationwide Mary Kennedy, radio and TV personality Brendan O’Connor, child psychologist Joanna Fortune and more.
The webinar was attracted an international audience with delegates from Russia and various other locations tuning in. The virtual event was an enormous success and a huge support for the charity.
The Davis Virtual Events Agency team managed all aspects of this virtual event, from ticket management to technical support to attendee engagement. Due to the government guidelines, each of the interviews was hosted from multiple locations simultaneously, which was organised by our team with complete technical support. The Davis Events Virtual Agency team succeeded in making this virtual experience fun and stress-free for our client and their audience.
