DCC&A's Virtual & Hybrid Conference Services

DCC&A has developed a world class service to deliver your meeting or conference in the digital space. You can choose the level of online presence at a budget you can afford. It is important to consider the extent of the virtual component as the more of your audience that are virtual, the greater the investment in the delivery platform to ensure the best experience for your attendees. DCC&A can discuss this with you and develop the platform which best suits your needs.

Hybrid Meetings

Hybrid meetings means you have both options available, face-to-face and virtual wrapped into one package.

Hybrid is an excellent option extend your reach to a broader group who may have previously not attended your meeting due to distance, time or competing events.

The live and virtual audience can interact with presenters, panellists and poster presenters through live Q & A, chat facilities and round table sessions. Exhibitors and sponsors have the ability to interact and engage with attendees through the 3D physical presence or the live chat and meeting service.

Virtual Meetings

Engage your members and audience with virtual conference and events. These may look quite different to your live conference, but they are able to provide engagement and education to members and ensure you are providing member benefits.

Content is streamed live or through pre-recorded sessions and can include live Q & A, chat sessions, round table small group discussions, ePoster sessions and presentations as well as networking opportunities and exhibitor booths with 3D engagement.

The benefits of hybrid or virtual:

Cost savings on travel and accommodation for international speakers. This can allow you to bring leaders of the field to your conference when in the past it may have been cost prohibitive.
Greater accessibility and reach – broadening your audience and potentially strengthening your membership
Engagement with an audience who may not usually have the time and ability to attend your meeting due to financial and time constraints.
Reduction in cost for those attending – can increase the number attending

“DCC&A has OnAIR Accredited staff who will work with you to develop and deliver the right solution for you. Let us help you to navigate this new opportunity.”
