EVENT Hotels has unveiled its innovative new conferencing and events solution; EVENT Conference Connect. EVENT Conference Connect is a purpose-built hybrid solution designed to simplify virtual conferencing, bringing QT, Rydges and Atura in-house event services and technologies together through a centralised event and AV team, to deliver conferencing that can combine live and virtual elements from multiple locations across Australia and New Zealand.

EVENT Conference Connect reimagines conferencing within the confines of new operating environments due to COVID-19 and was developed to debunk the notion that virtual conferencing – across multiple sites and locations – needs to be complex and cost prohibitive. Uniquely, EVENT Conference Connect is an all-in-one solution that can be scaled to deliver sophisticated, high quality and moderated multi-state or city conferencing, simply and seamlessly.

EVENT Conference Connect offers more than off the shelf video calling and meeting platforms. The solution streamlines the process of sourcing, booking and managing multiple conference and event spaces, catering, accommodation and technical requirements, through one centralised project team and technical control room.

The solution draws on the extensive EVENT hotel and property network across Australia and New Zealand as well as deep C&E expertise and know-how from within the group to deliver a unique service which facilitates teams coming together, while also presenting savings when compared to traditional conferencing.

Travis Smith, Head of Sales for EVENT Hotels & Resorts said, “EVENT Conference Connect has been designed to assist businesses and teams continue to come together, despite travel restrictions and the need to accommodate physical distancing.

“A major part of team building relies on bringing people together to share, collaborate and establish strong business relationships, and in the past this was often done over a number of days through conferencing, dinner and networking events. In a COVID-safe environment, traditional conferencing and events have needed to be reimagined; increasingly relying on technology to ensure teams can stay aligned and connected.

“We have seen that perceived complexities have led to a common misconception that virtual conferencing has to be hard and expensive to execute. Through EVENT Conference Connect we are able to challenge this notion and revolutionise the way event organisers and businesses approach organising virtual events and conferences.

“Our specialised team can assist with arranging virtual events of all sizes drawing on the extensive EVENT network of properties located across Australia and NZ – in metro, suburban and regional areas – bringing physical satellite events and technology together to deliver bespoke solutions to fit any organisation’s requirements.”
