Virtual events to the rescue: Hubilo helps the education sector keep the show on the road
Hubilo Technologies Inc, a world-class leader in hybrid and virtual events management technology, have stepped up to aid the education sector in its bid to avoid more event cancellations.
Events have long been part of the lifeblood of the education sector, and they give attendees the chance to break out of their comfort zone, network, and learn in a new environment. But the Covid-19 pandemic severely impacted the sector’s ability to deliver these valuable learnings in person, and mass cancellations have left students disappointed and institutions under strain.
Fortunately, Hubilo’s virtual events platform has allowed the education sector to adapt to a challenging events landscape. Its intuitive interface, end-to-end customisation options, and sophisticated networking capabilities are helping organisers worldwide drive deep engagement and deliver full events programmes once more.
Chicago Booth, one of the leading business schools of the United States, is one of many prestigious educational institutions using Hubilo to connect after Covid. Having cancelled its annual student-led Booth TechCon in 2020, the organising team did not want to postpone this enterprising conference yet again. Hubilo’s platform guaranteed seamless streaming capabilities for the keynote sessions and interactive panel discussions. Thanks to the many session engagement options – enhanced by a networking arena to facilitate real-time interactions – the long-awaited event was a huge success amongst the 250+ students, alumni, and dignitaries in attendance.
Hubilo was selected as a completely customisable one-stop shop for all the sessions. Yet, for Chicago Booth, the benefits extended well beyond the smooth session-viewing experience. Easy onboarding, 1-1 meeting scheduling options, real-time 1-1 messaging, and round-the-clock support from the Hubilo team all contributed to the successful delivery of a captivating event. Valuable analytics also helped organisers to understand the impact and success of the conference on each individual attendee.
Greg Volm, SVP of Sales and Success at Hubilo, said: “We are delighted that Chicago Booth selected us to host its first virtual conference. Our pioneering all-in-one platform continues to reimagine the events space, and today we are positioned as a catalyst for post-Covid education outreach.”
