Case Study: University of Queensland expands Open Day reach worldwide with EventsAir

How University of Queensland took their 25,000-attendee event virtual in the face of Covid-19 lockdowns

The University of Queensland (UQ) faced the challenge of moving its annual in-person Open Day for 25,000 attendees to a fully online format due to COVID-19 restrictions. The university needed a virtual event solution to replicate the on-campus experience and turned to vendor EventsAir and its OnAIR virtual event platform to achieve this.

EventsAir implemented a comprehensive end-to-end solution, providing a branded registration site, a virtual exhibition hall with 112 booths, and features like live chat and ePoster sessions. The EventsAir team managed project management, training, and full onsite and online support. This solution enabled UQ to host its first virtual Open Day, which successfully attracted attendees from over 100 countries, significantly expanding its international reach far beyond the previous in-person event.
