ACDM20 Annual Conference – Hybrid

This particular event will be memorable for several reasons. 2020 was going to be the year this event was on target for hitting 200 delegates, with the reintroduction of a conference dinner, extended programme and new social activities. It was no mean feat to build the conference up with such a buzz of excitement. However, Covid-19 meant we had to continuously think on our feet and push to make this event a success for those that managed to attend despite everything that was starting to happen in the world. We had two days to implement a hybrid option so speakers or delegates who were not able to travel could present their session and or watch online. Some elements, such as the Awards during the dinner, were not available for remote viewing at such short notice, but for those that did watch online they were very grateful to be able to still join most of the event. The AV team altered their shifts so they could be dedicated to presenter and delegate support if needed. 

Services Provided:

  • Full event management
  • Dublin tour to visit Guinness Storehouse
  • Live Video link for remote presenters and delegates
  • Entertainment: Ceilidh and live band
  • Social media before, during and after
  • Fully branded event website and material
  • Awards presentations
  • Interactive audience participation
  • Custom built branded stage set with full AV support

Biggest Challenge

Despite the challenges presented by the global pandemic, we successfully organised a hybrid event for the Annual Conference, overcoming numerous obstacles. With government guidelines rapidly changing and a major sponsor pulling out last minute, we adapted quickly. By leveraging a hybrid format, we enabled remote participation for both speakers and delegates, ensuring that everyone could join, regardless of travel restrictions. The event continued to run smoothly, with live video links and real-time updates keeping all attendees engaged. This flexible approach allowed us to create a seamless experience and a truly successful conference despite the uncertainties.
