Revolutions spring from an exchange of ideas, a convening of people, a sense of purpose so strong that action becomes inevitable. Fundamentally, they are social movements, which is at the heart of all that we do at Kaleidoscope.

Rich Taunt looks at the future of events, sifting the virtual from the real, considers a hybrid approach, and proposes three tests for whether you should be swapping Zoom for a conference room.

At Kaleidoscope we used to run some pretty amazing face to face events, if we don’t say so ourselves. More recently, we’ve been running some pretty amazing digital ones instead. As things have begun to open up again, we've been asked to organise events once again *pause for dramatic impact* in person.

We are doing so many meetings and events digitally now, Lydia Paris reflects on how we have made them as accessible as possible. Here she shares her 10 top tips for an engaging and inclusive digital event.

Digital engagement can easily go wrong. Too many people imagine that success is just about getting the technology to work. Here are our top 5 tips to help you run digital events with much less stress.

Yes, Zoom fatigue is a thing but face-to-face events aren't always better.

If you had a big event or conference planned for the first half of this year, chances are you’ve gone through a series of stages over the past month or so.

And then suddenly, just like that, we had no choice. Digital meetings are no longer an unusual (and often unpleasant) trial, but for many of us homeworkers, the only way business happens.

Don't you just love going to an event in the basement of an identikit hotel? The beauty of the unrelenting artificial light. The delight of a day's worth of slides ("don't know why I kept this slide in here, you probably can't see it") in store. The gorgeous feeling that even if you haven't been here physically before, mentally you have many, many times. No, thought not. Does it have to be this way?

What springs to mind when you hear the word 'webinar'?  "I can't wait"?…probably not. Perhaps it's because we humans are innately sociable creatures that we don't enjoy staring at a screen for an hour watching a set of moving slides, but I have friends who will willingly spend time staring at a screen to watch Final Score, so I find that hard to believe.
