State-of-the-Art Hybrid Events

Look no further than Kent County

CONTRIBUTED BY DELAWARE TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE

THANKS TO THE FEDERAL FUNDS Delaware Technical Community College received for pandemic relief efforts, they were able to turn a vision of transforming the way the College operates and delivers instruction, meetings, and events into a reality. Delaware Tech President Dr. Mark Brainard instructed his team to make strategic investments and operational improvements with an emphasis on technology so that the College could better reach people through immersive experiences and connected environments.

One such project includes the updates made to their Del-One Conference Center located on the Terry Campus in Dover. This space has long been a convenient option for meetings and events, but it is now considered a 21st century, multimedia experience. The College rearranged the stage to increase space and include a chair lift for accessibility; purchased a 27-foot-tall LED video wall that can have up to five different inputs (think displaying your virtual speaker, their slides, and a live poll simultaneously!); and built out a production studio with the ability to manage high-quality audio, visuals, lighting, recordings, and more. They also offer up to four breakout rooms behind the conference center that incorporate much of the same technology.

Delaware Tech looks forward to making similar advancements to other campuses, with their Wilmington Campus currently undergoing renovations to expand their paramedic instruction program; the creation of the Allied Health Center of Excellence; and another conference center.

Holding sophisticated hybrid events is now a reality. Speakers and attendees can participate from locations around the state and globe. Now you can think bigger when it comes to planning your next meeting or event in Kent County.
