What students are saying about this course:
“The course helped me think through the process of converting my work into a virtual environment, which is something I was struggling with. Yesterday I moderated my first big virtual event that went very well.”
Dana EidsnessDirector, Maine North Atlantic Development Office at MITC
“We never would’ve even thought of doing something like this. This has come out of necessity and I think it’s opened our whole world to campaigning on a different level, because of accessibility now and everyone's more educated around virtual meetings.”
Sophie UnderwoodCoordinator, Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania
“Our virtual event, which is a bigger one, has just been launched to our supporters today… And it was great going through the checklist and seeing that we’ve done a bunch of those things. So that was really helpful to know that those 8 weeks have helped us really make this event work. It’s coming together well!”
Jenny WeberCampaign Manager at The Bob Brown Foundation
“Thank you. It was really useful material. I will continue to recommend this course to friends and colleagues.”
Felix DoddsAdjunct Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
“All of the information you provided bolstered what I already knew and I learned new tools which are very, very helpful. Even provided additional information on existing tools I was using and using them more efficiently.”
Nakita DusauzayIT Administrator, CARILEC
“The biggest takeaway for me is that it's really critical how we engage our attendees.”
Heidi AllenProject Coordinator, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
“My favorite part of the course was that the Q&A sessions were fun and interesting. I think this is hard to pull off and it worked well. I think there's tremendous value in all the PDFs that we own as a takeaway from this course. I will be using them for reference frequently going forward.”
Kathleen GilbertSenior Events and Engagement Officer, The Island Institute
“Literally this has been mind-boggling for me. My biggest takeaway was that it’s just a lot to take in. But very very good. Now I think I can be part of my team that takes our organization to the next level.”
Hayden RedheadProgram Manager, Windward Islands Research & Education Foundation
“When I take me from 2 months ago, I was illiterate as far as virtual events were concerned. What this course has given me is confidence. It has given me tremendous confidence… I’ve enjoyed it and I've enjoyed meeting the people. Am I glad I did it? Yes I am. Have I learned something from it? Yes I have. I went from a virtual events virgin to managing and setting up my own meetings.”
Judith PatternProject Director All-Energy
“We previously held an annual physical event but this year we were forced to move it online during the pandemic. With the help of the course we realised that we can reach more people at a lower cost and have now decided to keep our event online permanently! I really enjoyed the course and in every session I learned something new.”
Nzinga WaandelsPolicy Advisor, Ministry of Economic Development of Curaçao
“We focused on physical events and so when the pandemic came I was faced with huge losses. After taking the course and pivoting our business to virtual events, I was able to re-hire our key staff and keep our business growing. Completing the course gave myself and my team the confidence needed to play a part in this new space. I'm now sure that even after lockdown, virtual events will continue to be a big part of our business.”
Larna JacksonDirector of Event Options
“I’ve particularly enjoyed the discussions and joint learning. It’s been really helpful. Have done demos before, but these were really useful to talk about with the group afterwards. The expertise we got from you and from others was hugely valuable and much appreciated”
