Online Seminar, Why and What Are the Types of Seminars?
Usually organized once or twice a year, seminars are the perfect time to combine conviviality and work. In the current context, a large number of internal events have been cancelled, but some companies still want to maintain their internal events by digitizing them. Thus, the organizers had to be creative and innovative. They opted for online conferences on Zoom, Google Meet or Whereby, during which they used tools like Klaxoon and Beekast to innovate and ensure the attendance of all participants. Some also offered fun online activities to create a moment of conviviality and strengthen team cohesion during confinement and post-deconfinement.
