Through the midst of the 2020 pandemic, Fitwise swiftly guided their clients and their events from face-to-face to online. One of which was the British Association of Urological Nurses Annual Conference and 2020 was the first year BAUN held their annual conference virtually.
Let’s take a look at how this turned out.
2020 was BAUN’s Jubilee year celebrating 25 years of the association so it was of high importance to highlight and celebrate this special occasion albeit doing so entirely virtually.
The event, appropriately entitled Harnessing Courage: Leading Urological Nursing into the Future, featured over 38 speakers in a 2-stream programme over 2 days. The exhibition area featured 31 companies, sponsors and a virtual delegate bag.
500 delegates from around the world gathered virtually to discuss, share research and celebrate urological nursing and here’s what they had to say.
“We decided to use the Fitwise E-conference platform, which was both affordable and highly professional, and to be honest we couldn’t be happier with our decision. We were fortunate to work with professional conference organisers who have had the platform in-house, so rather than have the additional outlay of software systems, we've managed to use the in-house technology that Fitwise had. Fitwise as a team are organised and understand what makes a successful conference virtually and as face-to-face. So with members of the team from events, marketing, sales, bookkeeping we’ve all worked together really to ensure that we were delivering engaging virtual experiences. Our conference has truly exceeded all expectations and it’s targeted over 500 delegates and with an exhibition space of around 40 companies in a well organised and very visual display. The conference has been, as usual highly professional and the team understands our aims of what we intend to deliver to our delegates, but they focus on those details and work with us to provide them. We wouldn't hesitate and I personally wouldn't hesitate in recommending Fitwise and their platform for anybody looking at running a virtual conference.”
Jane Brocksom, Past President of BAUN
