Don't start planning 2021 without speaking to me.....

Alexander Events Ltd. (www.alexanderevents.co.uk) and KES ONLINE Ltd. (www.kesonline.info) are collaborating to bring you a 2021 Consultancy package regarding all things #virtualevents #liveevents #hybridevents moving forward so you can start now looking at a new event strategy for your business.
If there was EVER a time to look at your event strategy, budgets, plans, offering and start talking to your clients - then, it is now. We need to take what has happened and look at the need for a complete behavioural change around the event industry.
When planning events we always start with where (is it going to be) and what (is it going to consist of) and the cost!.... Now we need to halt our steps and start questioning the WHY and the HOW behind everything we deliver! Why look to return to a fully live event? Can we make it more inclusive by doing a blended event? Why would we go back to fully live without any virtual element? What benefits would there be to using a studio as opposed to a live stream on facebook? Do we need to travel? etc.etc.
Budgets, priorities, costs, team sizes, access, confidence... are just a few of the things that will change the event industry horizon post the pandemic - not to mention the many BREXIT restrictions that will affect our events. This is without considering things such as our new yearly vaccination programmes for COVID-19, the forecasted recession, event insurances, restriction policies that may be brought in to action each winter. Then there are the global firms, Universities and smaller companies who have already highlighted that they have now seen exactly what can be achieved virtually for meetings and events and therefore will not be funding any 'unnecessary travel' moving forward.
Assessing all of this does not have to be a negative step but instead an essential one moving into the future.
With our experience of what we have achieved over the last 12 months we can guide you and your events team, your strategy, your planning, your time, right through for the here and now and for the future.
If you book events, plan events, manage events UK based/attended or internationally then we are happy to help with your team plans and next steps. Why speak to us?
During the pandemic we have achieved the following....
1) Worked with an award winning design team to map out & design our new platform www.kesonline.info
2) Built a team that consist of BAFTA AWARD WINNING Developers to help us build a very successful virtual and hybrid events platform - KES ONLINE
3) We have contracted and delivered many virtual events to a global audience.
4) We hosted nearly 1000 presentations on our platform in its first 6 months.
5) We have hosted a range of events from global academic conferences, monthly webinar series to Healthcare Sector Events and Exhibitions.
6) Opened a brand new Business KES ONLINE Ltd. and increased our customer base.
7) Expanded the business and opened a new office base during the pandemic
8) Kept networking and stayed in contact with our client bases throughout the COVID-19 pandemic
9) Invested in continual development of our platform based on client feedback as well as technology and formed a formal relationship with a full TV & Recording Studio Facility which we are currently using for hybrid events - (even in lockdown.)
10) We have also been featured in global publications, take part in interviews, blogs, given talks, recorded podcasts and written articles to share our story.
And so much more!
So.....here at Alexander Events and KES Online, we feel, that if anyone is equipped with the knowledge and experience from the last 12 months to talk to you about next steps, new skillsets, different routes, budget saving ideas, studio filming experience, or anything virtual or hybrid for that matter or how to turn things around in the face of adversity - then it is us!
Please get in touch if you need any help at all and we can book in a (virtual) coffee, have a free initial consultation and take it from there....
In the meantime stay safe and stay well.
