Task

The Fraunhofer IAO was commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research to host a conference on the topic of “Working Environments of the Future” at the end of the 2018 Science Year. The on-site conference took place in Stuttgart and was attended by approx. 500 participants. In addition, a “Virtual World Tour” was organized to round off the 2018 research year with a special event.

Solution

The Virtual World Tour presented an exciting challenge in the area of so-called hybrid events. Over 24 hours – parallel to the on-site conference in Stuttgart – 12 research institutions from 8 different time zones were able to present current research results and their views on the working environments of the future via live streams. meetyoo’s expertise in the practical implementation of such events was therefore essential for the organisation of a successful Virtual World Tour, which highlighted a promising conference format as part of the working environment of the future.

Result

The Virtual World Tour was the first cooperation between Fraunhofer IAO and meetyoo, and was initially designed as an exclusive format. After a close and successful cooperation, however, there is interest in jointly realising further digital events in the future.
