Case Study: Harvard Kennedy School achieves high-engagement 300-person interactive sessions with SpatialChat

Harvard Kennedy School hosts 300-person interactive sessions with SpatialChat

The Harvard Kennedy School needed to host large, interactive virtual events for up to 300 participants while maintaining the ability to fluidly transition into small-group discussions. Their challenge was to find a platform that could combine these plenary and breakout sessions without the friction of traditional video conferencing tools, all while meeting strict enterprise-grade security and no-recording policies. They turned to SpatialChat to find a solution.

Using SpatialChat, the school implemented a structured event design with a stage for large groups and smaller breakout rooms. This solution enabled smooth transitions and high levels of engagement in the discussions. The school successfully hosted repeated events with up to 300 attendees, reporting smoother sessions, higher-quality interaction, and a better overall attendee experience compared to traditional webinar formats. SpatialChat allowed them to scale their programming without sacrificing meaningful dialogue.
