Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank’s Annual Meeting
Challenge
AIIB had planned to hold their 5th Annual Meeting in a face-to-face environment in July 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions imposed, they needed an alternative way to stage this flagship event. In addition to remote keynote speakers, a branded studio was also required locally in Beijing. This brief required an end-to-end solution including delegate registration with integration into the web platform.
Solution
BCD Meetings & Events designed, planned and successfully delivered a live, 2-day fully produced virtual meeting, starting with a high-profile Opening Ceremony and followed by 6 webinar sessions for 1,600 attendees. The agenda included panel discussions between the global remote presenters and the Beijing studio. Messages were delivered through a mix of media and it was important that the audience could interact and participate throughout. In addition to producing the live virtual meeting, our solution also included delegate registration, content development, creative design and video animation.
Results
BCD Meetings & Events delivered a seamless virtual meeting that had the look and feel of a live TV broadcast rather than a standard online meeting. The entire event was delivered from our central production studio in the UK, ensuring a high-quality webcast and strong connection to the audience, with back-ups and fail safes in place.
