Industry Insights

The primary challenge for event and festival organisers is achieving high levels of engagement throughout their events to maintaining relevance and driving growth. The goal is to not only meet but exceed attendee expectations, transforming passive viewers into active participants and loyal advocates.

Senior producers, marketers, and innovation specialists must navigate complex dynamics to create compelling experiences that captivate audiences before, during, and after the events. This requires leveraging cutting-edge technology to foster real-time connections, deliver personalised content, and ensure seamless integration across all platforms.

Unique social videos have been shown to significantly increase community engagement. Video discussions can effectively bridge time zones, allowing for Q&A sessions between attendees, organisers, speakers that are not bound by live event schedules.
Vialog offers a solution by enabling interactive video discussions that are both engaging and easy to manage. Stakeholders using videos are significantly more likely to build visibility, making it a valuable marketing tool during and after festivals.

Vialog integrates seamlessly with existing event platforms without requiring additional apps, downloads, or complex schedules, making it an ideal tool for enhancing engagement in real-time and beyond the event.
