Case Study: British Society of Magazine Editors delivers a polished virtual awards ceremony with Evessio

British Society of Magazine Editors hosts 344 guests with Evessio

The British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) faced the challenge of transitioning its prestigious annual awards ceremony to a virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic. The not-for-profit organization wanted to create a polished and engaging online event that would maximize its profile. They partnered with the event software vendor Evessio, which sponsored the awards and provided its Awards Room platform for the event.

Using Evessio's platform, the BSME hosted a virtual ceremony that featured pre-recorded segments with high-profile presenters and hosts. The solution facilitated significant networking through public and table chats, creating an immersive experience. The results for Evessio's client were highly successful, with 520 guests registering and 344 logging in for the live show. Guests stayed for over an hour after the ceremony to network, and the event received widespread positive feedback for being slick and professional.
