Case Study: University of Skövde achieves scalable, interactive digital poster seminars with SpatialChat

University of Skövde hosts 50–100 participant poster seminars with SpatialChat

The School of Health Sciences at the University of Skövde needed to host large-scale digital poster seminars for its Public Health students. Their challenge was to replicate the informal, interactive nature of an in-person event online, as traditional video conferencing tools restricted movement and simultaneous conversations. They adopted SpatialChat to overcome these limitations.

Using SpatialChat, the university created a reusable virtual space that allowed 50-100 attendees to move freely between digital posters and engage in small-group discussions with proximity audio. The solution successfully preserved the event's interactive dynamic, leading to more natural Q&A and higher engagement. The department was so satisfied with the results that they chose to repeat the format with SpatialChat for their recurring academic events.
