Getting Started

Executive Summary

3,2,1 Live: Getting Started with Live Online Events is our new session of the #BuildBackBetter series, in

collaboration with the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS) at UN Geneva. This

information booklet will aid you on discovering the backstage of online event production.

In the wake of COVID-19, organizations around the world are faced with new opportunities and

challenges as they move operations online. As many meetings, conferences and events move to the digital

domain, the ability to effectively coordinate and produce such sessions online is vital.

Getting Started

This information booklet will focus particularly on producing an online event. How can we manage

more effective, well-though sessions? How can we remain relevant and authentically engage with our

audiences virtually? How can we improve and develop our technology and communication skills to

produce valuable events for specific audiences?
