Virtual Symposium - Success
Each year the Symposium attracts over 1,000 delegates, representing the energy and dynamism of the global MND research community. It is the largest medical and scientific conference specific to MND and is the premier event in the research calendar.
Due to covid this year’s event was held online, filmed and streamed from a purpose built studio in the associations Northampton headquarters.
The 3-day event attracted a global audience in excess of 16,000 from over 57 countries. Interaction and engagement were paramount with the delegates being able to ask questions, review posters, network and vote.

This Year WaveFX provided all the equipment and crew to manage every aspects of the virtual symposium production from live filming, managing virtual presenters via zoom, vision mixing and encoding the stream to an embedded player.
Brian Dickie, Director of Research Development wrote: “ I wish to express my thanks for the outstanding service and support we received. The pandemic forced us to change from the traditional ‘face to face’ format we have used for three decades to a ‘virtual’ event at relatively short notice.
This meant an incredibly steep learning curve for myself and my colleagues, but our concerns were greatly alleviated by the professionalism and assurance exhibited by the WaveFX team, both in the run up to and during the event itself.
The Symposium could not have gone more smoothly. We have had tremendous feedback. Thank you for going not just one, but several extra miles”
