EBN 2020 Virtual Event

We help EBN produce their first livestreamed virtual event with VIP speakers from the European Commission

About EBN

EBN is a network of  around 140 quality-certified business and innovation centres and 100 Associate Members supporting the growth of innovative entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs.

After the successful collaboration last year, the decision to work with EPEAK was a no-brainer. Once more, EPEAK’s clear processes, professionalism, and continued support was essential in successfully delivering the EBN Annual Congress fully online.

The Challenge

EBN is a network of EU-based start-up incubators and accelerators. For their Congress 2020, EBN teamed up with EPEAK Studio to deliver their first virtual event.
The change in format was in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the event organizers were left with a very short preparation time.

The challenge included onboarding and organizing VIP speakers from the European commission.

What we did

EPEAK Studio provided guidance and recommendations for EBN’s first virtual event, Congress 2020. Thanks to our extensive virtual event hosting experience, we managed to get the event ready to go live  in a very short time.

EBN Congress 2020 was a mix of live and pre-recorded content. EPEAK Studio delivered on both live speaker preparation calls and conference pre-recordings, all within the project’s shortened deadlines due to the quick shift in format because of the pandemic.
We combined live and simulive content seamlessly to create a unified viewing experience for attendees.

Our team also successfully navigated challenging technicalities, such as complying with security restrictions for VIP speakers working in government agencies.

Finally, EPEAK Studio’s comprehensive technical expertise helped speakers connect from remote locations, using satellite connections for example.

During preparation calls, we performed specific tests to ensure optimal performance during the EBN Congress 2020 event.

Results

EBN Congress 2020 was a success and the client was very happy with its first virtual event.
EPEAK Studio successfully produced 20 sessions over 2 days, featuring 40 speakers and ultimately generated over 9 hours of exclusive content.
