How we work with you
-
Design virtual networking
We design engaging virtual networking events. We’ll suggest specific platforms, design powerful activities, and develop online social norms to make your networking events the lifeblood of your conference, meeting or webinar.
-
Convene decision-makers
We bring together conference stakeholders—association leaders, conference organizers, exhibitors and vendors, researchers, and funders—to discuss, test, and synthesize best practices for designing inclusive virtual conferences. Grant funding supports this work.
-
Plan for long-term change
We work with clients to create long-term strategic plans, because shifting to a new model won’t happen overnight. We’ll help you work with your board, your membership, and other stakeholders to bring them along.
How we improve the field
-
Study new approaches
We join researchers in studying and improving virtual conferences. Rigorous and informal experiments explore and verify best practices. Research grants fund these investigations.
-
Illuminate the benefits
We highlight strategies and examples in order to show decision-makers the benefits of virtual conferencing. We invite anyone to share ideas and practices to further the cause.
-
Advise funders
We work with funders to craft new travel policies that discourage high-carbon modes of transportation. Funders have great leverage to incentivize virtual conferencing.
