Bringing people together is at the heart of every successful organisation, and Opencast’s Q3 Quarterly Conference was designed to do exactly that.
As part of our ongoing partnership with Opencast, we supported the delivery of a multi-site hybrid conference that connected colleagues across the UK, ensuring staff could come together to hear business updates, celebrate successes and strengthen relationships, regardless of location.
With Glasgow serving as the main event hub, key sessions including the host welcome and CEO update were streamed live to colleagues attending from Manchester, London and Newcastle. The hybrid format enabled a shared experience across all four locations, creating a sense of connection and inclusion while maintaining the energy and engagement of an in-person event.
Our team worked closely with Opencast throughout the planning and delivery process, providing venue research and management, speaker liaison, AV coordination, registration management and attendee experience support. Careful logistical planning and seamless technical delivery ensured the conference ran smoothly across every site, allowing attendees to focus on the content, conversations and opportunities to connect with colleagues.
The conference extended beyond the formal agenda, with post-event celebrations giving teams the chance to unwind together over pizza and drinks. These moments of informal networking and recognition are an important part of Opencast’s culture, helping colleagues build stronger relationships across offices and teams.
We’re proud to continue supporting Opencast’s quarterly conferences and celebrations, helping create engaging experiences that bring people together, strengthen company culture and ensure every colleague feels part of the conversation.
As always, it felt like a really productive collaboration, and the team was always on hand to answer questions and/or provide information as we needed it. These events are like a huge jigsaw puzzle, with lot of things to remember and multiple dependencies, so I always appreciate the support in dealing with both the expected and unexpected – and hopefully making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
