Online events aren’t just for socially distanced times anymore.
People have come to know and expect the convenience and ease of participating in live virtual events.
But where the typical Zoom meeting suffers from awkward lapses and tech glitches, we strive to do better.
Running a successful online event requires a balance of technological expertise, AV production, and careful attention to the attendee experience.
We provide live tech support via phone, text, or chat during the event for hosts and presenters who have issues connecting to audio, video or breakout rooms.
We provide an event consultation to discuss settings, engagement and event flow. We provide documentation of the event timeline and best practices for hosts and presenters.
For those who are unable to attend, the main event is recorded and that recording is edited in order to be posted on an online platform.

Since 2020 we have provided The Back Room with a full suite of services from event management to email marketing and social media management.
