Challenge
Overcoming the Challenge
Since 2001 Equal Voice, a national, multi-partisan organization, has advocated for equal representation of women at all levels of government, from federal to municipal. Due to the pandemic, Daughters of the Vote (DOV), their high-profile annual 4-day bilingual conference, was to be held virtually. To pull this off, they needed an engaging virtual experience to inspire young women across Canada to participate in politics.

Strategy
A Unique Way of Approaching The Problem
Sourcing the right bilingual virtual partner was vital to creating an event that was easy-to-use and accessible across all device types. We set up a virtual main stage with group chat and Q&A functionality, simultaneous breakout rooms, a networking lounge and sharable business cards, sponsors & exhibitor booths, a content hub for on-demand videos and gamification to drive further engagement. The robust custom platform included a tiered registration system providing various access levels based on attendee type.

Solution
The Proof Touch
Attendees were greeted with a larger-than-life LIVE virtual experience that included a virtual House of Commons and inspiring keynote speeches by PM Justin Trudeau & former Green Party Leader Annamie Paul. From website design, video production & online registration to speaker rehearsals, and accessibility integration (including ASL, simultaneous translation, and live captioning), our conference team handled all event logistics. Our hands-on approach made accessing the event and moving through sessions seamless, allowing attendees to spend more time making connections with each other and less time trying to connect to the event.
