Jun 8, 2021 | , , ,

InGear today announced that it is now offering the LIVE! end-to-end interactive virtual event platform as a service to the pro-AV and custom-install markets. A dynamic, customizable, and economical alternative to conventional trade shows and conferences, LIVE! is a new kind of online experience designed to deliver everything people value about live events — real interactivity and meaningful engagement among participants — with a dedicated production team to handle all of the details, from event planning and promotion to post-event follow up and analytics.

“Even with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, virtual events are here for the foreseeable future,” said Veronica Esbona, president of InGear. “For some, this may not seem like great news. After all, as a replacement for trade shows, conferences, or business meetings, video conferencing platforms have thus far been disappointing because they lack what people actually like about attending live events — the human connection. However, by enabling real interactivity among participants, that is exactly what LIVE! is designed to deliver. The result is the first virtual platform that puts people first, supported by a team dedicated to making every event a success.”
