AND THE BEST SUPPLIER RECOGNITION AWARD GOES TO…VRTUALX

VRrtualX is the proud recipient of the 2021 IAPCO Best Supplier Recognition award, nominated by Interplan. VRtualX conceives and implements VR, AR and software projects that are able to extend virtual congresses and create attractive and user-friendly settings.

VRtualX entered this specialised field at the beginning of the pandemic and they rapidly gained an up-to-date understanding of the situation, anticipated needs of their clients and started developing tailored software solutions with an impressive speed and quality.

Interplan believes that the accessible and innovative combination of face to face meetings & virtual worlds will strengthen the outreach of congresses in the future. To them, a partnership with VRtualX will guarantee the right ideas at the right time and state-of-the-art implementation for their clients. Interplan values the open exchange relationship they have with VRtualX as a key success factor in their ability to design and implement many outstanding projects in the shortest possible time and delivering state-of-the-art virtual events.

“Congresses are about experiences, about meeting fellow professionals, about networking and interpersonal connections. With the pandemic hitting us in 2020, we wondered how would it be possible to transfer all of this toa virtual world without losing our delegates or industry partners along the way.

VRtualX seemed to be the perfect supplier to re-create the congress experience and to make the feeling of a meet-up tangible.

When I first started working with VRtualX, it felt like pioneering towards the moon landing for me. All this new vocabulary, technical terms and environment. Nevertheless, VRtualX turned out to be best partner for this endeavour! Working fast-paced, straightforward and creative – just as ourselves.

In just over 2 months’ time, thanks to their flexibility in workflows, we transformed a complex onsite meeting into

a virtual congress. Together with VRtualX and a streaming supplier, we built an online experience reflecting all features of a “normal” congress: lectures, industry symposia, networking and an innovative virtual industry exhibition with over 40 booths. And were unexpectedly overwhelmed with positive feedback from our delegates, our client and even the pharmaceutical industry!

After this initial success, we stuck with the credo “never change a winning formula" and thus, from July 2020 until today, realised a variation of projects in individual settings together with VRtualX. As the meeting industry is ever changing, rapidly developing new ideas, we are currently involved with VRtualX in creating innovative concepts for hybrid congresses, leading us into the future of the “new normal” in meetings.”
