ONLINE CONFERENCE CASE STUDY
STRATEGY, SOFTWARE, TRAINING, SUPPORT
1,683 Attendees
After getting 200-300 attendees in person for 11 years, Organizing 2.0 was thrilled to 7X their attendance in their first online conference.
Over 3X Revenue
The comprehensive and interactive online conference enabled Organizing 2.0 to maintain their same ticket prices as with their in-person event, offer many free tickets, and still more than triple their in-person revenue.
We & Goliath were responsible for the online conference software strategy, setup, training and management, and support.
We also took the lead on providing sponsor visibility throughout the event in the form of interactive vendor booths, logos on the website, videos and social posts.
We ran multiple trainings for speakers, moderators, vendors and even created a custom knowledge base and how to navigate infographic.

TV-Style Main Stage Production
Here is the TV-Style main stage we ran inside the final plenary session, featuring organizers from both the Sanders and Warren 2020 teams, and starting with a pre-roll video by their top sponsor.
Our senior editor/producer with hundreds of in-person and virtual events under his belt preps the speakers in a technical walkthrough usually the day-before, than again 30min before going live in the backstage.
We add custom background graphics, your logo, animated lower-thirds and can include other features like title slides, etc.
