Convene launches new hybrid meeting and event solution: Convene StudioNEW YORK, June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Convene, which launched Convene Virtual Meetings this past year, the only virtual meetings platform built by meeting and event professionals, today announced its commitment to leading with a digital-first approach. Debuting Convene Studio, a solution that pairs expert teams with full-scale technology to enable virtual and hybrid events held anywhere, this unique product introduces the next phase of their innovative programming and builds upon Convene's proprietary virtual conferencing platform. Studio, renamed from Virtual, incorporates and expands Virtual with a host of new services and upgrades, delivering premium and customizable hybrid and virtual events seamlessly for up to 10,000 attendees, either at a Convene location or outside of them. Convene hybrid events, which are one of the event types that Studio can enable, are the first and only solution of their kind that offer all components of hybrid meetings and events from a single provider, including physical locations, a virtual platform, production services and event technology, with dedicated teams managing the on-site and remote experiences. Convene is also the only company with a network of U.S. locations that offers the option to hold a hybrid meeting or event at our venues, other venues, or a combination of both, to create multi-location hybrid events managed by a single company. "The launch of Convene Studio is a pivotal moment for Convene. We've been building toward this milestone for the past 12 years," said Ryan Simonetti, CEO and co-founder of Convene. "With the introduction of Virtual Meetings last summer, we now have a distinct opportunity to combine our services and provide even more flexibility with an all-new product offering that is unlike anything else available in the market. Hybrid events are the key to our industry's return and with the introduction of Studio, we aim to simplify hybrid meetings and events to make planners' lives easier, which is the same promise that Convene was founded on over a decade ago." Reaching more people through virtual, hybrid, or in-person events and connecting customers with their key audience, Studio allows you to host a large or small event from anywhere. Hybrid pairs Studio with the in-person experience at their locations across the country, and also connects remotely to hotels, venues or a company's own space outside of Convene, providing maximum flexibility in any team's planning. Studio enables an event no matter the place. Hybrid and virtual events are powered by Convene's professional broadcast and production services teams and the virtual event technology, with services including: a professional broadcast of virtual and in-person presenters, a premium and engaging live video production, live event support, and a full range of pre- and post-event support, such as event planning, video content production, and eent analytics. The virtual event technology includes event registration, mainstage presentation, tools such as live polling, Q&A sessions, interactive breakout rooms, sponsorship and attendee networking, and a comprehensive remote presenter experience, all delivered as a fully branded web and mobile experience.
