Virtual Events: Analysis of 2020 Virtual Events (Session 1 of 3)
Friday, February 26, 2021 11:30 AM EST
Instructor: Derek Nance
In addition to being a year of unprecedented loss, 2020 ended up being an incredible year for innovation and experimentation in the realm of virtual programming. This series will take a deep dive into virtual programming, what was attempted last year and where virtual programming is going in the future. In the first class we will do an analysis of virtual events and concerts that happened in 2020, breaking down the pros and cons of each attempt. The second part will be a discussion and demonstration of various platforms and software available for virtual programming. We’ll finish in the third class with tips and tricks for planning virtual programming and forecasting the future of virtual programming alongside in-person events and concerts. By the end of the class, participants will have all the information they need to plan and implement virtual programming with their own groups.

00:23:53 Ellie Hodder: what was the software Derek?
00:24:35 Carlene Ruesenberg: I went out of curiosity… it was really great
00:24:57 Sharon Guilliams: FYI The Sierra Spring Ring did not have any registration fees just asked for donations.
00:26:09 Karen Eggert: National seminar was a great virtual event and great content
00:26:22 Carrie Coenen: National Seminar was well done, better than others in my work life
00:26:31 Sharon Guilliams: Derek you have a unique definition of “fun”.
00:26:40 Karen Eggert: So interesting to see chat during a concert
00:34:57 Sharon Guilliams: Derek you are doing very good.
00:36:30 Carlene Ruesenberg: I think that’s the format that Area 1 wants to follow in May
00:37:43 Karen Eggert: Then came the LA metro ring …
00:37:53 Karen Eggert: It was really great, enjoyed it.
00:38:49 Karen Eggert: The rehearsal experience worked well
00:39:19 Diane Barnes: I was part it, it was a pretty neat experience
00:40:34 Sharon Guilliams: Derek thought I was crazy.
00:40:37 Karen Eggert: We all had time … why not?
00:40:43 Carlene Ruesenberg: It was really the best virtual handbell experience that I had last year
00:41:25 Carlene Ruesenberg: @Karen Eggert… exactly!!
00:41:49 Carlene Ruesenberg: We’re also going to do a similar event on May 15 for Area 1
00:42:10 Sharon Guilliams: I’m so glad Area 1 is going to do this.
00:42:12 Karen Eggert: Looking fwd to the Area 1 event, wanted to attend in person.
00:42:41 Carlene Ruesenberg: We’re going to be in Hartford in June 2022
00:45:03 Diane Barnes: It was a fun event to see the performances but to interact on chat with people you haven’t had a chance to connect with all year!
00:45:24 Carrie Coenen: Is there a master calendar for virtual events?
00:46:08 Karen Eggert: Virtual concerts were great. Need to monetize the virtual aspect to continue in the future
00:47:20 Ed Rollins: If groups contact the national office, virtual events are listed on our events calendar.
00:47:45 Sheri: Consort? That’s a pretty funny typo. Autocorrect, I bet. It certainly has a sense of humor.
00:48:01 Karen Eggert: Yes, that’s the right name
00:48:11 Sheri: Wow. Cool.
00:48:11 Ellie Hodder: I think Consort is correct in this case.
00:49:21 Diane Barnes: plying off the Recorder Consort idea of oldie times
00:49:40 Sheri: @Diane Barnes – thanks for explanation
00:52:51 Carlene Ruesenberg: You can always use a static slide with a clock timer
00:54:08 Carrie Coenen: Registration is nice so the organizers can send the link to the event by email
00:58:19 Teri Gregory: A1 ring sounds like fun! Missing the full A1 conference festival this summer.
01:03:20 Sharon Guilliams: The Virtual Concerts do bring the copyright/straming issues.
01:03:34 Sheri: Deaf theater is very interesting that way too – lights are on and people are “talking” the whole time.
01:05:18 Carrie Coenen: I do like the recorded events so that you didn’t need to be there “live”
01:07:17 Sharon Guilliams: Thanks
01:09:04 Carlene Ruesenberg: Well said, Ellie, well said!!
