Stands and kiosks have also become virtual, removing one of their tools of choice from the sales forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The virus has forced everyone everywhere to review all types of gatherings. New forms of virtual conferences such as Zoom and Facebook LIVE, which Alain discussed in the<a href=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/en\/how-do-you-add-live-content-and-conferences-to-your-content-arsenal\/\"> previous post<\/a> quickly appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But major conferences have also reinvented themselves in a virtual and in some cases, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/startupfestival.com\/startupfest-2020\/\">Montreal&#8217;s Startupfest 2020<\/a>, &nbsp;in a hybrid event that combines the virtual and the present-day, in accordance with health standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=398&amp;v=4XvpclM5uv0&amp;feature=emb_logo\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/live-1024x571.jpg\" alt=\"Startupfest\" class=\"wp-image-26569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/live-1024x571.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/live-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/live-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/live.jpg 1114w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Clic on the image to access day 2 video<\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#991b1b\">No need for travel, the conference comes to you!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>But for our neighbors to the south, not much conferences are yet permitted. Never mind, the IT solutions vendors came to the rescue by offering companies and conference organizers new custom-made platforms. Or others that already exist but much less immersive &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know <a href=\"https:\/\/hopin.to\/\">HOPIN?<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hopin-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hopin-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hopin-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hopin-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hopin.jpg 1311w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This new conference platform offers a total virtual experience with the same features as a real one, with its room for &#8220;keynote&#8221; presentations, called the &#8220;Stage,&#8221; multiple &#8220;rooms&#8221; for other conferences, a networking venue, and even a room for an exhibition; a virtual trade show! So, no need to move, the conference is coming to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practical for businesses or all who are self-employed, as this avoids transportation costs, accommodations, etc. But you still have to pay to get in. At ExoB2B, we used it for the B2B Marketing Ignite USA conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s a \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d montage of the conference\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/montage-1.jpg\" alt=\"montage hopin\" class=\"wp-image-26577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/montage-1.jpg 773w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/montage-1-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/montage-1-768x505.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left is the reception, with access to the main functions and the schedule of conferences and keynotes.

The middle screen shows the services in the other rooms and the bottom, the Virtual Expo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that in each window, participants can interact live. There is also the possibility of doing one-off surveys and a tab to see who is virtually in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a place to offer feedback: polls are everywhere, especially in the networking room (see image below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"859\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/feedback.jpg\" alt=\"sondage\" class=\"wp-image-26579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/feedback.jpg 859w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/feedback-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/feedback-768x529.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, all the speeches of this great annual B2B marketing conference are available on the conference web page and stored on Vim\u00e9o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#991b1b\">A transient phenomenon or here to stay?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With this type of platform, virtual conferences have multiplied in recent months to replace the good old live conference. The B2B Marketing Ignite conference is already announcing its 2021 virtual edition in London while the USA version seems to opt for a presentation in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the main organizer,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joelharrison\/\"> Joel Harrison<\/a>, mentions in a 3D virtual environment, what to foresee in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ignitelondon.vismedia.agency\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RV-1024x610.jpg\" alt=\"Joel Harrison\" class=\"wp-image-26581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RV-1024x610.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RV-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RV-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exob2b.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/RV.jpg 1092w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Click on the image for the video<\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, in Quebec, de-confining measures allow gatherings of up to 250 people.
