The Benefits

in using a Virtual Platform!

 

 

Key features and Benefits using a “Virtual Event Platform”

Online collaboration is fast becoming a permanent feature in the modern day work place, companies are usually attracted by the cost-effective technology that is now available allowing employees and valued customers to work together anywhere in the world 24/7. But there are some other major benefits to consider:

The Environment.

  • Carbon Footprint calculator. Justification towards CSR for all parties.

  • Corona virus and other pandemics

  • Climate change.

  • Reduce Air and land CO2 immersions.

     

    Your Carbon Footprint/ Climate Change.

    Our carbon footprint is historically defined as the total greenhouse gas emissions caused in our every day lives. With any large event, conference, exhibition, collectively we need to make sure we are choosing to offset ways to take responsibility to decrease avoidable carbon emissions. Methods of reducing your carbon footprint as a business could include purchasing carbon credits, using energy-efficient appliances and utilizing the latest in digital communication.

     

    Corona Virus and other pandemics

    We are all aware of the “Covid 19” virus that is attacking the world as we         speak. speak. Pandemics have nothing to do with the severity of a disease but are to do with its geographic spread of it and the main carriers of this particular pandemic are humans.

    Unfortunately declaring a pandemic triggers global panic, which as with covid 19 has resulted in total lockdown in many countries. Social events, public gatherings and events have been cancelled. The world has yet to calculate the financial devastation it has had on the world’s economy. That’s why the capacity of digital communication tools that can help systematize and process large amounts of data has attracted the attention of world business leaders.

    We need to start preparing for the future; we need to start preparing for the next “Covid 19”

    While your current efforts are on hold, why not use this time to plan your next event, your next digital event. Life may not go back to how we previously knew it, but it will go back to normal. And when it does, you’ll be ready with an amazing virtual assistant to help you prevent total financial devastation.

    Our CO2 Immersions

     Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have become a pertinent issue for businesses through the world. The importance of reducing carbon footprints is to save energy and money at the same time as reducing the impact of business activity on the environment.

    When planning any large event the impact it has on the world carbon footprint is immense so if there are ways and means of reducing it, this can only be seen as a benefit to all concerned.
