David Meade launches The Virtual Delegate

The Virtual Delegate 2021

Following the success of GrowShow Live, international keynote speaker David Meade is gearing up to host a brand-new digital event series, The Virtual Delegate.

Powered by ICC Belfast, The Virtual Delegate will stream live on LinkedIn and YouTube every Wednesday for six weeks from 02 June – 07 July at 15:00 BST / 10:00 EST. Each episode will deep dive into how organisations can maximise virtual, hybrid and in-person events to engage their people and clients. Meetings industry heavyweights and the faces behind some of the best-known brands in events will join David to explore the importance of creating killer content, choosing the perfect platform and maximising the legacy of major events to affect transformational change.

David Meade hinted at what’s to come in the series saying,

We've delivered circa 150 virtual and hybrid events over the last 12 months, and we're excited to use The Virtual Delegate to showcase the very best solutions and innovations that are truly pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

As organisations look beyond the pandemic, now is the time to give teams the power to choose how they want to be communicated to. There is no ‘one-size fits all’ when it comes to people or clients and events are no different. To maintain a competitive advantage, serve global audiences, enhance relationships and build new ones, innovative solutions must be implemented. The Virtual Delegate show will explore many of these innovative solutions and more, providing useful insights and actionable tips that can be put into place immediately in organisations of all sizes.

Commenting on The Virtual Delegate launch, Oonagh O’Reilly, Director of Sales and Marketing at ICC Belfast | Waterfront Hall | Ulster Hall said, “We’re delighted to be supporting this digital event series. Preparations to welcome delegates back to business events at ICC Belfast are well underway. 

However, we’re conscious that the pandemic has changed peoples’ expectations of events and the demand now is for a hyper-personalised, immersive experience. 

The Virtual Delegate will help our team to understand how to harness these trends and work as our clients’ trusted advisor at every stage of the event journey."
