What kind of online events will this workshop cover?

In the context of this workshop, “event” refers to any occasion where people gather. Work examples include meetings, panel discussions, a product demo, a conference, or networking sessions. An online event could also refer to social gatherings such as a pub quiz, birthday party or family reunion. The purpose is to show what's possible that you can adapt for different online events.

Who should attend this workshop?

It’s for anyone who has to organise, host, design or deliver an online event.

Will this workshop teach me how to produce an online event?

This workshop will show you what a producer does to ensure a smooth experience of an online training, the training being the event in this case. It will also showcase the importance of having a producer to ensure the best online experience for attendees. From this workshop, you will learn what skills a good producer needs to have. And this workshop is not designed to teach your production skills. This is because being a producer for different online meeting platforms will require different technical skills that can be easily learned from online tutorials and videos that are freely available.

Will I immediately be able to host an engaging online event after the workshop?

It depends. We know that your next online event will be better than the one before the workshop. However, perfecting the art of hosting engaging online events requires practise. Hence, for the workshop, we're aiming for you to make progress. Perfection will come later the more you apply and play around with the skills you will learn.
