Happy Wednesday! Working on our virtual all hands in February. Our team spans the globe and is around 150 pax.
Curious on your thoughts:
1. Have you ever used Google Meet to produce a webinar or meeting?
2. Latest ideas for entertainment and team building. Predictive comedy/stand up was suggested!
Would love to hear what you might have seen or produced!
I wouldn’t use Google Meet. Some companies have difficulty connecting to it. I’d pay for Zoom or another virtual service.
Hi @EventPlanner5012 - Great point on Zoom. We use google for our town halls and being an internal meeting we don’t have a challenge. My concern is production value and are capabilities the same as Zoom or other virtual services. Thank you!
Zoom has done A LOT to improve their value for events like this. They are a strong contender for a project we are bidding on right now for 1,000 people -- all internal -- multi day event with different meeting rooms. Look at Zoom Events on their website.
I really liked the virtual magic show - it was so much fun. It was Chris Cox. I’m not sure if he still does it online but it was very engaging and entertaining for a big group. Good ol’ “mix your own drink” was a fun experience (we sent custom cocktail sets).
From the production side I agree, you might need something a bit more advanced like zoom, I remember the magician mentioned that it does help him with some tricks better than google meet.
Do an Airbnb online experience with music or dancing :)
Will check out Zoom events and the entertainment ideas. Thank you everyone!

Hi everyone! What is your favorite ticketing/registration tool? If it’s not a full on event platform and if it’s not Eventbrite, what’s yoru choice? (paid/unpaid)
Curious if anyone has done a multi-breakout, multi-session event on a platform you loved. Does that even exist? I’m managing 80 sessions over 3 days in 6 different breakouts. We decided against one platform because they couldn’t produce a solid reference for someone who had done this large of an event and there were issues with the RTMP flow. The platform we are using has some nuances, especially on the production side that aren’t the best.
So what have you used that you like?
