Case Study: Western University scales a 300-participant academic conference with SpatialChat

Western University scales a 3-day conference to 300 participants with SpatialChat

Western University faced the challenge of scaling a multi-day academic conference online without sacrificing the fluid movement and interactive networking that define in-person events. They turned to the vendor SpatialChat to move beyond the limitations of traditional webinar tools and create a dynamic, participant-driven experience for up to 300 concurrent attendees.

SpatialChat provided a multi-room environment that supported parallel sessions and organic networking within a single platform. The solution successfully scaled from 150 to 300 participants over three days, resulting in high levels of engagement and active exploration as attendees moved between sessions. This created a more cohesive and interactive academic experience that closely mirrored the energy of an in-person conference.
