Case Study: University of Texas at Austin scales its virtual geothermal conference with Touchcast

University of Texas at Austin scales Pivot 2021 10x with Touchcast

The University of Texas at Austin's Geothermal Entrepreneurship Organization (GEO) faced the challenge of scaling its annual Pivot conference virtually after a hastily assembled first event suffered from technical difficulties and a lack of immersion. For Pivot 2021, GEO partnered with vendor Touchcast to create a more polished and engaging experience for a global audience and to ensure seamless backend technical support.

Touchcast provided a robust virtual event platform and production support, enabling GEO to host over 150 speakers across 40 hours of programming. The solution included interactive features like Q&A, polling, and multilingual translation. The result was a tenfold increase in the event's size compared to the previous year, with high attendee engagement and praise for the platform's unique, high-quality experience.
