I think back to 2016, which was so peculiar for many events. After the tragic series of attacks that hit France, security challenges changed considerably. Media firms TF1 and NRJ \u2013 co-producers of the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes \u2013 were prompted to overhaul the way they managed access to the event. We had to support a new accreditation process using an adapted solution. From registrations to entry passes and checks, the system was revised and reinforced to safely vouch for all those present, whether staff members, artists or media workers. Our teams\u2019 capacity to adapt<\/em> was crucial in tackling a huge challenge : to reassure<\/em> people at a time when terrorist attacks were still fresh in their minds.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=\u201cnone\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-main-text\u201d]\n<\/p> A new crisis. And new needs to adapt.<\/em> Coronavirus hit the world with full force at the start of 2020. Yet our teams swung into action. They\u2019ve been working both to virtualise many conferences that can\u2019t currently be held on-site and shift towards hybrid solutions for events, which I\u2019m sure will soon be used widely.<\/p>\n The Nice Shoulder Course<\/a>, an event with worldwide influence in shoulder surgery, was founded by the highly respected Professor Pascal Boileau. This year, given the pandemic and organisational constraints, he opted for an e\u2011conference format. This would keep the scheduled date and avoid disrupting work already undertaken for a scientific programme decided on long before. Key4events had been a partner of this event for 14 years, managing many on-site operations, including entry passes, previews, video recordings, a major control room and a system for interactive voting and session appraisals via a special app. We had to urgently help our client meet new challenges brought about by an unprecedented health crisis : Because this event was well-known as an on-site gathering, how could we make it accessible to all those involved via online solutions ? And without spoiling it ? Could we even bring the event added value through digital technology ?<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=\u201c1346\u201d animation=\u201cNone\u201d hover_animation=\u201cnone\u201d alignment=\u201ccenter\u201d border_radius=\u201c3px\u201d box_shadow=\u201csmall_depth\u201d image_loading=\u201clazy-load\u201d max_width=\u201c100%\u201d max_width_mobile=\u201cdefault\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-image\u201d][vc_column_text css_animation=\u201cnone\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-main-text\u201d]\n<\/p> Adapting.<\/em> In a very short space of time, we had to offer an entirely virtual format that would respect the scientific programme initially planned. For this client, like for many others, we had to upskill around 70% of our staff, training them in tasks that only a small team mastered until then : remote session-recording.<\/p>\n So key4events was asked to produce content in advance of the Nice Shoulder Course and coordinate live sessions during the conference, which took place in July. For this, an appointment-booking feature for the assisted recording of speakers was added to our tool Register. With this new module, our production teams enjoy extra help in their logistics and can track progress made in their tasks. Adapting, time after time.<\/em><\/p>\n Our expertise has also led us to produce many webinars \u2013 almost daily \u2013 for another big name in medicine : ESC (European Society of Cardiology<\/a>). This video content<\/a> is designed to inform hundreds of health professionals about the virus and its effects on health. Our teams had to be highly responsive to make it a success. They recreated excellent video control rooms to oversee production during lockdown.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=\u201c1345\u201d animation=\u201cNone\u201d hover_animation=\u201cnone\u201d alignment=\u201ccenter\u201d border_radius=\u201c3px\u201d box_shadow=\u201csmall_depth\u201d image_loading=\u201clazy-load\u201d max_width=\u201c100%\u201d max_width_mobile=\u201cdefault\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-image\u201d][vc_column_text css_animation=\u201cnone\u201d el_class=\u201carticle-main-text\u201d]Adapting. Each crisis brings its share of new challenges that we have to meet if we don\u2019t want to miss the boat. And because our teams are very good at adapting, we can bounce back against such an uncertain backdrop. On 1 September, on-site conferences and trade fairs started up again, with newly adjusted solutions. Event management in all forms has been hard hit by the health crisis. But digital technology has helped us reinvent ourselves. Yet this can\u2019t disregard the human contact that characterises our sector. That\u2019s why hybrid solutions are marking this post-summer period, which we\u2019re really enjoying !<\/p>\n Bruno Ricciardi, CEO, key4events<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u201cin_container\u201d full_screen_row_position=\u201cmiddle\u201d column_margin=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction_tablet=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction_phone=\u201cdefault\u201d scene_position=\u201ccenter\u201d text_color=\u201cdark\u201d text_align=\u201cleft\u201d row_border_radius=\u201cnone\u201d row_border_radius_applies=\u201cbg\u201d id=\u201carticle_block\u20114\u201d overlay_strength=\u201c0.3\u201d gradient_direction=\u201cleft_to_right\u201d shape_divider_position=\u201cbottom\u201d bg_image_animation=\u201cnone\u201d shape_type=\u201c\u201d][vc_column column_padding=\u201cno-extra-padding\u201d column_padding_tablet=\u201cinherit\u201d column_padding_phone=\u201cinherit\u201d column_padding_position=\u201call\u201d background_color_opacity=\u201c1\u201d background_hover_color_opacity=\u201c1\u201d column_shadow=\u201cnone\u201d column_border_radius=\u201cnone\u201d column_link_target=\u201c_self\u201d gradient_direction=\u201cleft_to_right\u201d overlay_strength=\u201c0.3\u201d width=\u201c1\/1\u201d tablet_width_inherit=\u201cdefault\u201d tablet_text_alignment=\u201cdefault\u201d phone_text_alignment=\u201cdefault\u201d column_border_width=\u201cnone\u201d column_border_style=\u201csolid\u201d bg_image_animation=\u201cnone\u201d][vc_gallery type=\u201cimage_grid\u201d images=\u201c1343,1345,1342,1344,1346\u201d layout=\u201c2\u201d masonry_style=\u201ctrue\u201d bypass_image_cropping=\u201ctrue\u201d item_spacing=\u201cdefault\u201d gallery_style=\u201c7\u201d load_in_animation=\u201cperspective\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=\u201cin_container\u201d full_screen_row_position=\u201cmiddle\u201d column_margin=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction_tablet=\u201cdefault\u201d column_direction_phone=\u201cdefault\u201d scene_position=\u201ccenter\u201d text_color=\u201cdark\u201d text_align=\u201cleft\u201d row_border_radius=\u201cnone\u201d row_border_radius_applies=\u201cbg\u201d id=\u201carticle-bloc\u20113\u201d overlay_strength=\u201c0.3\u201d gradient_direction=\u201cleft_to_right\u201d shape_divider_position=\u201cbottom\u201d bg_image_animation=\u201cnone\u201d shape_type=\u201c\u201d][vc_column column_padding=\u201cno-extra-padding\u201d column_padding_tablet=\u201cinherit\u201d column_padding_phone=\u201cinherit\u201d column_padding_position=\u201call\u201d background_color_opacity=\u201c1\u201d background_hover_color_opacity=\u201c1\u201d column_shadow=\u201cnone\u201d column_border_radius=\u201cnone\u201d column_link_target=\u201c_self\u201d gradient_direction=\u201cleft_to_right\u201d overlay_strength=\u201c0.3\u201d width=\u201c1\/1\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1814"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/key4events.yostudio.link\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Using the full potential of digital technology<\/h2>\n
