VIRTUAL NATA MEETING 2021 – 21° ANNUAL NATA SYMPOSIUM – On Patient Blood Management, Hemostatis and Thrombosis

The Virtual Nata Meeting went on stage  from 12 to 16 april 2021, completely online. A symposium centered around advanced hematology in the Covid-era, a great international virtual event that managed to gift the Event Managers and the MICE Professionist many lessons learned. Let’s analyze some together.

 

 

  • The Pandemic problems morphed in a great opportunity. The complete digitalization of this congress’edition managed to bring the biggest number of partecipants in its history (this annual event began in 2016). Breached the thousand subscriptions wall, the Virtual Nata Meeting became one of the biggest events in hematology worldwide, with 83 countries connected at the same time, China included, requiring a very high technological expertise, given the difficulties tied to the famigerate firewall of the oriental giant.

 

  • The employment of a Super Bandwidth for the Streaming, granted an effective and latency-free connection. The reliability of the bandwidth, in international events, is absolutely essential, requiring to be monitored and managed by an Expert and competent Staff just like the one branded by TC Group. All managed for 5 complete days of Live streaming in a single HD channel.

 

  • Granting the availability of on-demand speeches, almost in real time after the livestream’s end was very important, ensuring the chance of consulting the reports taking into account the different time zones. Allowing the contents to be enjoyed for Six Months after the event surely is another plus.

 

  • This event has been managed with Tc Group’s platform Livebit. This application made available a “Social Wall” dedicated to partecipant’s comments in real time. The event’s success was high, so we tought about letting you see some anonymous original comments, collected during the event.
