CASE STUDY
Virt-Real powered “Journey to Sydney” global SDR 2020 event.
Lukau Director, Global Sales Development Training & Enablement at Genesys was asked to spearhead the change to a virtual conference. The question in Lukau’s mind was “How was I going to top our past physical events virtually, while making the content just as impactful?”
Lukau had three overall objectives to provide the team with a memorable experience, relevant content packed with key takeaways, and leave them feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to exceed targets for the second half.
Genesys wanted to follow the Sun approach with it being a Global Event with:
-
Keynotes – Live and Recorded
-
Breakout Sessions
-
Live Panels
-
Videos with facilitators
-
Gamification/Prizes through out
-
Live Chat / Polls / Q&A
-
Awards Night
Mobiddiction’s virt-real technology and platform ticked all the boxes and were given this opportunity to host the virtual SDR event on our “virt-real” technology. Being a world first, our team was very excited to be able to deliver this amazing feature rich virtual event for Genesys.
When you can’t meet physically, go virt-REAL!
We started off with an idea to come up with new themes based on our VR 360º enabled platform for the conferences including a Truly Australian Farm Stay theme, a second option we planned was to use a popular vineyard in the Hunter Valley region or a Sports club. But all that was not nearly as exciting when we presented the “Sydney Bus Tour” experience and created a conference backdrop with vantage points in and around Sydney with the conference theme being “Journey to Sydney”.
The team at Mobiddiction came up the “Journey to Sydney” theme and created visual elements which made it a very special event for Genesys SDRs attending event. The idea was to give conference attendees a pre-conference bus-tour of Sydney which was VR enabled, worked on desktop and mobile with no app download or jumping hoops needed.
“What an incredible Kick Off for the Sales Development Virt-REAL Summit at Genesys . This year, we took our team into a virtual platform in Sydney with the general sessions taking place with Sydney Harbour Bridge as the backdrop. Our SDRs could take a virtual bus tour around the major city sights with their Genesys virtual headsets.”
