Virtual Event Space is your tailored, interactive event platform that helps you engage audiences globally and convert viewers into customers.
The challenge
The way people work and live is changing, and technology plays a huge role in this, revealing better ways we can help clients devise and deliver for the future. Teams collaborate globally, meetings operate virtually, users and customers are more environmentally conscious, and companies are looking for their competitive edge.
Our solution
Jacobs manages every aspect of stakeholder engagement and public communication strategies for clients’ projects and programs worldwide. Using traditional channels and digital solutions, such as Jacobs' new Virtual Event Space, we help our clients to accelerate and redefine how they connect and consult with stakeholders and end users.
As projects look to continue important stakeholder engagement, alternative solutions to face-to-face events are required. Jacobs' Virtual Event Space can be tailored to deliver deep and meaningful engagement for client, partner or project needs.
Customizing to your requirements, we use the solution to complement or replace traditional methods of engagement and consultation to keep your projects and communications strategies on track.
Jacobs’ Virtual Event Space creates personalised, globally accessible and interactive events for almost any type of event, from small to large scale, including: conferences, exhibitions, training and workshops, networking and trade shows. It provides a fully customized, online and rich, interactive user experience that is accessible on any computer or mobile device.
