‘Medieval meets Modern’ Hybrid Meeting Event at Bedern Hall York.
- Event Speaker will present live from London
Great Potential the York-based Business Tourism Consultancy has teamed up with Saville AV and client venue Bedern Hall to bring together a FREE special event about Hybrid Meetings.
On 21st February between 2pm and 4pm guests will learn how Hybrid Meetings can boost business, increase attendance and create a buzz that will make events more special.
Paul Cook is director of the Hybrid Event Centre and will deliver his presentation from London into the historic and medieval Bedern Hall, York using Saville AV's latest Hybrid Meetings technology.
Guests will hear Paul's presentation and have the opportunity to ask questions live as if he is in the room. This technology is growing in popularity has advantages for both meeting planners and venues and is surprisingly inexpensive. Guests will learn how and why on the day.
“The meetings and events industry is worth £36b to the UK economy and this technology is helping to create new opportunities to stage live events and include people from around the world without them having to travel. Demonstrating how this works at Bedern Hall one of York’s smaller medieval venues and with York-based Saville AV providing the equipment seemed most appropriate. comments Great Potential director, John Gallery.
The event is open to all meeting and event planners; venue operators; hoteliers, media and professional communicators. Great Potential has organised a familiarisation visit to York for a group of professional event bookers who will be attending the event to see the technology in action. Local business and event organisers are also welcome and can book their free place via http://medievalmeetsmodern.eventbrite.co.uk/
Great Potential’s sister video production company Little Genie Media will be recording the event for distribution afterwards.
