SayPro Pre-Event Responsibilities: Online and Offline Logistics
Tasks: Set up virtual meeting platforms (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) for online participants.
1. Select the Right Platform:
- Choose the Platform: Decide on the most suitable platform based on the number of participants, type of sessions (workshops, keynotes, Q&A, etc.), and ease of use for both speakers and attendees (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams).
- Consider Platform Features: Ensure the platform supports essential features like breakout rooms, screen sharing, chat, polls, and video streaming to enhance the virtual experience.
2. Create Virtual Event Sessions:
- Schedule Meetings: Set up individual sessions or rooms for each event segment (e.g., keynotes, workshops, breakout sessions, networking) within the chosen platform. Ensure each session has a clear title, date, and time.
- Set Up Breakout Rooms: If needed, enable breakout rooms for small group discussions or workshops. Make sure facilitators have access to manage and assign participants to the rooms.
- Event Links: Generate and organize unique links for each session. Create a central location (e.g., event website, email) where attendees can easily access the links.
3. Configure Settings:
- Meeting Settings: Adjust platform settings to ensure a smooth experience. This may include:
- Enabling waiting rooms for security and privacy.
- Setting up automatic recording for sessions.
- Managing participant permissions (e.g., mute/unmute participants, screen sharing restrictions).
- Ensuring proper security settings (e.g., requiring registration for access, passcodes, or restricted access).
- Audio/Video Settings: Ensure that audio and video are set up to work smoothly for both hosts and participants (e.g., high-quality audio, allowing participants to share their video if desired).
4. Customize and Brand the Platform:
- Branding: Add the event logo, banners, and custom backgrounds to enhance the event’s branding on the virtual platform (e.g., Zoom webinar branding, custom waiting room screen).
- Event Information: Include the event agenda and key details in the meeting descriptions or welcome messages to keep participants informed.
5. Test Technology and Platform Integration:
- Platform Familiarity: Make sure that all speakers, facilitators, and moderators are familiar with the virtual platform features, such as sharing screens, managing Q&A, using chat functions, and starting/stopping recordings.
- Trial Run: Organize a rehearsal with the technical team to test all features of the platform, check internet connectivity, and ensure compatibility with presentation materials.
- Platform Support: Ensure the platform has tech support readily available in case any issues arise during the event.
6. Send Invitations and Instructions:
- Send Invitations: Provide online participants with access links to the virtual event via email or the event platform.
- Clear Instructions: Include clear instructions on how to join each session, including any necessary passwords or registration details, as well as platform-specific guides (e.g., how to log in, how to ask questions, how to use the chat).
- Pre-event Reminders: Send reminders to registered online participants 24 hours before the event, along with session links, instructions, and any updates on the schedule.
7. Ensure Interactivity for Online Participants:
- Q&A and Polling: Enable Q&A sessions and live polls to encourage engagement. Ensure that virtual attendees can interact with speakers and facilitators easily.
- Chat Function: Make sure that the chat function is enabled, and determine if it will be open to everyone or restricted to the host and panelists only.
- Networking Opportunities: If possible, set up virtual networking rooms or lounges where online participants can interact informally during breaks or after sessions.
8. Prepare for Technical Support:
- Technical Assistance: Assign a team member to provide technical support for online participants during the event, answering any questions about the platform or resolving any issues that arise.
- Support Channels: Provide clear instructions for how participants can contact technical support in case they experience problems (e.g., phone, email, or chat).
9. Monitor and Manage Sessions During the Event:
- Session Moderators: Assign moderators to help manage virtual sessions, including managing participant questions, monitoring the chat, and assisting with technical issues.
- Manage Attendees: During live sessions, monitor the number of participants, handle participant requests to speak, and manage breakout rooms if applicable.
10. Post-Event Access:
- Record Sessions: Ensure that all key sessions are recorded and made available to participants after the event. If the platform allows, automatically archive sessions for easy access.
- Follow-up Email: Send out follow-up emails with session recordings, feedback surveys, and any post-event resources to all online participants.
By completing these tasks, you will set up a robust virtual environment for the event, providing online participants with a seamless and interactive experience that complements the in-person activities.
