Webinar with EY: Data Insights from Virtual Events
Virtual Events 2.0: Responsive Tactics to MarComms Strategy:
ICC Belfast is an international convention centre dedicated to delivering world-class conferences, exhibitions, gala dinners and banquets.
ICC Belfast’s hybrid studio features Glisser’s award-winning virtual and hybrid event technology. As a convention centre, they needed an application that would continue to work with them when they re-opened after lockdown, and they knew Glisser was a great match for them.
As a convention centre, they needed an application that would continue to work with them when they re-open in the future, so they knew Glisser was a great match for them. Head of production Dave Young explains: “The Glisser platform allows delegates to interact with any event, whether it be digital or in-person, meaning a delegate on the other side of the world has the exact same influence on an event as a delegate sat on the front row.”
ICC Belfast have used Glisser for a variety of events including internal team updates, product launches, AGMs, multiple day conferences and awards galas, including hybrid solutions.
“They’re a fantastic team to work with, they understand our needs, they understand events and they’re an extension of our team.”
Dave and his team have received great feedback from their clients as Glisser suits their needs perfectly. The platform allows for sponsor opportunities, external links and really keeps their delegates engaged – all key objectives for their clients.
The ICC Belfast work alongside their clients to commercialize their events through sponsorship opportunities. In traditional times this would have meant that sponsors could brand in-venue or across the city of Belfast. As Glisser is a fully customizable platform, a variety of sponsorship elements can now be built directly into their client’s event programs.
We spoke to Oliver Corrigan, D&I Events Manager at Dods Group to learn how Glisser helped them generate 100-130% more revenue in 2021 across their virtual/online and hybrid events.
Mike Nevin set up research and benchmarking company, Alliance Best Practice in 2002. Since then it has grown into a global community, keen to exchange ideas, opinions and knowledge – something Glisser has been only too happy to help it evolve and develop since the second half of 2020
The Annual Congress of the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT), which took place from 08 – 11 September 2021, was ICC Belfast’s first fully hybrid large-scale event.
