My Role: Backend developer
Ever been a panelist at a virtual event speaking into the dark abyss of cameras off? What about running a virtual event? Setting up your Google Slide, a Slido for audience Q&A, a Spotify playlist to share during breaks, and a feedback form to share with all participants... only to realize you forgot to open one of those tabs and you end up screen sharing your entire desktop with your spicy dms to your significant other while trying to find your other tab. These are pain points we face every day as execs on student clubs like the Women in Tech Society, where we plan virtual events for 40-70 students every month. For our virtual events, we consistently have to screen-share 3-4 different platforms for a successful event. We also have to get creative with how we engage with event attendees, which just adds more frustration to our event planning.
We needed a solution that could:
- Combine the features of our favourite event planning platforms to increase event planning efficiency
- Creatively increase engagement with event attendees who have cameras off
We call this Fusion.
