Many of us have experienced disappointing virtual events—from technological friction to poor meeting design, these events can suffer from many pitfalls. However, we know that with proper planning and design, virtual events can be engaging, inclusive spaces that can connect people across the globe. COMPASS has extensive experience designing professional, productive events that keep participants engaged and minimize tech disruptions. This COMPASS workshop will help you meet your virtual event goals by learning tools to strategically design, prepare for, and execute virtual events.

In this 3-hour, interactive virtual workshop, you'll learn how to make virtual platforms, like Zoom and Mural, work for you. We’ll explore how to use strategic agenda design, meeting management techniques, and technological tools to help you create memorable, engaging  virtual events. Our time together includes content presentation, group activities, facilitated group discussion, and time to discuss specific questions you might have.
