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.
