Case Study: Western University achieves repeatable, interactive academic events with SpatialChat

Western University drives interactive multi-day academic events with SpatialChat across 100–300 attendees

Western University needed a repeatable format for its recurring virtual academic events that could move beyond the passive experience of traditional webinars to foster higher levels of engagement and networking. To achieve this, they implemented SpatialChat to create a more interactive environment for their multi-day events.

Using SpatialChat, the university established a persistent, multi-day event environment with distinct zones for presentations and discussions. This solution enabled seamless movement between structured sessions and informal networking, supported by spatial audio. As a result, engagement remained consistently high across days with 100-300 attendees per event, participants interacted more actively, and networking became more organic. SpatialChat became a reusable platform for the university, leading to multiple successful events and closed-won deals over time.
