Planners know it to be true: Creating immersive virtual events makes for a more engaging and memorable experience— and today, engagement is the critical element for any successful event. The question of “how?” still remains, especially as virtual events become more commonplace. But by carefully selecting and investing in a great virtual venue, planners can break through the digital noise to produce an online experience that attendees actually want to show up for.
For live events, venues offer ambiance, aesthetic and a sense of being somewhere unique and exciting. These factors are become markedly more important for virtual events that aim to provide remote guests with that coveted live-event feeling without leaving their homes.
Enter Touchcast. We’re an all-in-one virtual events and experiences platform that aims to solve this problem with the recent debut of our Iconic Metaverse Collection. Offering sixteen (and counting) exclusive venues for virtual events, organizers can now host a range of diverse experiences in unique, engaging, online settings—from giant product launches to more intimate gatherings. Unlike the glut of glorified video conference offerings cluttering the virtual event market today, our Iconic venues allow event organizers around the world to deliver an engaging and participatory experience to their audiences and speakers.
We’re not talking a simplified recreation of your typical boardroom, either. The Touchcast Iconic Metaverse Collection of virtual venues takes it ten steps further. From electrifying arenas and intimate conference rooms to gorgeous, wood-walled theaters, we developed a collection of virtual venues inspired by real venues from around the world, including Steve Jobs Theatre, Madison Square Garden and the TED stage. When experienced on our proprietary, artificial intelligence-powered event platform, your mind will be forever changed about what’s possible in a digital world.
With a collection that runs the gamut to accommodate any type of event, each of our virtual venues features dark and light mode, a white-glove production team, full branding capabilities, 4K ultra-HD streaming video, real-time transcription, foreign subtitles and dubbing, AI-powered articles, one-on-one meeting suites and real-time event insights.
Plus, for planners looking to host an authentic online version of a typically in-person event, we can create a “digital twin” of your usual physical space—something we’ve done with the Apollo Theatre New York and the Tate Modern in London, amongst others.
