European Haemophilia Consortium (EHC) Global Conference & Webinar Series

Facilitating multilingual communication at EHC events

Headquartered in Brussels, The European Haemophilia Consortium (The EHC) stages an annual Members’ Conference, two smaller conferences and several workshops each year. Due to the pandemic, these events needed to move to the virtual realm and chose OCTA as the platform to deliver these important events and host the educational content.

OCTA’s flexible and versatile functionality facilitated the creation of a multilingual platform (English & Russian) allowing delegates to log on, view upcoming events or watch on-demand recordings of previous events all in the one place.

Working with technical partner, AVCOM, OCTA developed a delivery and technical strategy, designed a highly customised virtual event platform, developed a bespoke online registration system and provided a wide range of services to EHC including: live studio streaming, pre-recording and editing, broadcasting 43 speakers to 5 continents and 93 countries, moderation and delivery of Q&A, live chat, live polling and management of sponsors & exhibitors.

Additional features available on OCTA that enhanced event participation for delegates included an activity feed for attendee engagement, social media feeds, on-demand library and a conference resource gallery including speaker slides and breakout worksheets.

 In 2020 OCTA delivered 6 virtual events – conferences, webinars, and workshops –  for 20 -1,000+ attendees. Some events lasted an hour and one was 6 days long. OCTA is now actively engaged with EHC on 10 diverse virtual events in 2021 including their Global Conference in September 2021.

Louise, Louise G and Maria,
A HUGE thank you for everything you did to help deliver EHC 2020. I can’t express how nice it was to deal with three lovely, professional and extremely efficient ladies! You are an absolute testament to Venues World and I could not recommend your services more highly after working with you.

This was a huge learning curve for us all and you supported us within question from start to finish. I don’t think so many emails have been exchanged just for one event in the history of time!! It has been a pleasure and we look forward to working with you again in the future!

Thank you so much again!!

Kind regards,
Leah
