Virtual Events: Event Planning and the Future of Hybrid Events (Session 3 of 3)
Saturday, February 27, 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.
Class 3: Virtual Event Planning and the Future of Hybrid Events
Please note: Many of the questions in the chat will have been answered verbally and will appear in the recording.
00:11:14 Melissa Emerson: I just downloaded them, so you may need to refresh your screen.
00:11:20 Derek Nance: Oh, the video will be there soon. JR has to download it and upload it again
00:13:13 Sharon Guilliams: How cool would it be if we could get the International Space Station to watch us.
00:13:27 Melissa Emerson: 🙂
00:14:35 Melissa Emerson: If you do that class – I’d be very interested.
00:17:45 Melissa Emerson: Content is just right for me.
00:18:17 Ellie Hodder: With a massed ring, is the audio broadcast from the same space as the conductor?
00:20:52 Sharon Guilliams: Ellie, for Christmas Handbells, we pre-recorded Alex and the rehearsal choir in the same space at the same time. Alex could draw cues from the choir.
00:21:22 Ellie Hodder: So it was broadcast as a video?
00:21:29 Sharon Guilliams: Derek will take care of you. Let him worry about the tech
00:22:32 Sharon Guilliams: Eliie- yes they were pre-recorded videos and then we broadcast them and then had live panel discusssions.
00:22:47 Ellie Hodder: Thx
00:26:53 Sharon Guilliams: How much is vmix
00:27:51 Sharon Guilliams: Thanks
00:35:30 Sharon Guilliams: Yes the committee chair has to give up control.
00:37:28 Ellie Hodder: Are these folks generally co-hosts?
00:39:50 Ellie Hodder: So host is responsible to see all content is up on time, yes?
00:40:20 Sharon Guilliams: Hosting is a “full-time” thing during the event. The Tech Director is responsible for the content up on time.
00:41:40 Sharon Guilliams: If you are a rookie at a virtual event. I would say twice as much effort.
00:42:04 Melissa Emerson: I was just going to mention virtual events take longer to plan than in-person.
00:43:38 Sharon Guilliams: I like telling people that Christmas Handbells was like planning 3 events. The rehearsal choir videoing, the actual broadcast, and then the gathering of videos and the zoom watch party. Some were easier than others.

00:46:34 Ellie Hodder: For groups with fewer than 6 cameras, can phones substitute for big-kid equipment?

00:50:35 Gillian Erlenborn: My home is slightly loud, so I don’t want to unmute. But I did not expect to watch the ENTIRETY of the Ring-a-thon!
00:50:55 Sharon Guilliams: May 15th Area 1 is doing another Virtual Massed Ring.
00:51:26 Gillian Erlenborn: I was never bored!!
00:54:26 Sharon Guilliams: Christmas Handbells even tried putting previews of new music during breaks.
00:55:45 Sharon Guilliams: Length of events is definitely a consideration.
00:59:08 Sharon Guilliams: Sorry
01:00:55 Ellie Hodder: New class thought: what equipment do we need? Graduating from our phone as the sole source!
01:03:39 Ellie Hodder: Diversity is a great series of topics for the Board and Areas. It’s time!
01:09:22 Sharon Guilliams: Thanks Derek.
