Virtual Events are Here to Stay—We Know How to Keep the Tech Top-Notch
Virtual association conferences existed prior to the global pandemic. But, out of necessity, they came into their own during the COVID-19 outbreak. SB Expos & Events helped dozens of organizations successfully navigate the unique challenges of simultaneous or asynchronous virtual events. With the pandemic in the rearview mirror, we’ve seen that the hybrid convention model—virtual programming combined with an in-person conference—offers clients new ways to expand their impact.

Virtual Convention Technology Support for Your Hybrid Meeting
Hybrid events do require a new set of skills and approaches. Directors of meetings can’t oversee the entire in-person meeting while simultaneously ensuring the success of the virtual meeting. And the flawless implementation of virtual event technology is critical.
That’s where SB can step in—we can take ownership of all your virtual event actions on the Cadmium Virtual Platform. We’ll run the tech so you can run your next successful hybrid conference!
