The client's narrative

Piergiorgio Parigi, Event Manager Alfio Bardolla Training Group

What changed in this year’s format?

"Naturally, we had to adapt to a new profession: training in the form of an authentic TV show. A whole new ball game in terms of communication, having the camera on you all the time, apparently talking to no one, without the immediate feedback from an audience. But all the same, we managed to create a good rapport with our spectators, and in the end, it was just like being altogether in the one room. 

The major difference was felt by the course participants: they missed that physical presence, but there were actually some advantages to live streaming: the obvious one being taking part from the comfort of one’s own homeno need to travel with the consequent expenses that ensues. This meant that when all was said and done, ours was the biggest digital Financial training event in the world. It was an amazing experience. IEG and Alterecho proved once again to be the number one players in the industry. The event ran smoothly, with nothing left to chance. Even though it was a pioneering event in technical terms, the level of production and the ultimate course delivery was exceptional, thanks to a team effort. 98% of the participants expressed high levels of satisfaction for the livestream, and 95% said they would recommend it to a friend”.


The event manager's angle

"We had already hosted other training events by Alfio Bardolla both at the Palacongressi and Rimini Expo. They are always successful, high quality projects, attracting large numbers and with impressive technological stagecraft. This year, in collaboration with Alterecho, we took on the challenge of organising the leading Italian financial training event in multilingual live streaming with 5,000 people from 22 countries simultaneously connected via Zoom.

The Amphitheatre, with its embracing shape, give us ample scope for a 50 m production set and a circular LED wall, 11 m in diameter projecting the live connections in various windows, allowing them to interact with speakers in real time. This innovative form of fully digital communication produced fantastic results.

In the coming future, as soon as we can back to organising in-person events, this evolved technology, alongside our large, versatile spaces, will give organisers the option of amplifying their audience reach, integrating the traditional format with digital solutions".
