CEwire 2022 Conference

Purpose

Largest Virtual Optometric Event

CEwire is an annual conference for eye care industry leaders to offer courses to other professionals for COPE-approved credit hours and continued education in their field. Since it began in 2015, 16,000 optometry doctors have participated in the annual event, making CEwire the largest virtual optometric conference. As a long-standing partner to ODwire, we were approached to have our in-house streaming platform power the CEwire 2022 multi-day event.

Event Preparation

Onboarding Speakers to Syncing Content

With much of the conference pre-planned by the CEwire committee, it was our team's focus to import all event details and media, and onboard their event speakers into our platform. Ahead of the conference, our product development team and event managers coordinated the following:

• Implemented accredited quiz questions and answers
• Transferred the full course schedule and details
• Weekly meetings with the client to ensure progress
• Training of event speakers on use of the platform
• Performed multiple dry runs with the client and test groups prior

Support Team On-Hand

For Conference Success

As a dedicated resource to the client leading up to the event, we continued our community event support by having our team on-hand and monitoring all lectures to answer questions and help troubleshoot for a seamless attendee experience. During the multi-day event, we helped in: being on call during the full event, active development for immediate platform fixes, and in-chat support for attendees throughout all courses.

Live Development

To strengthen the platform

CEwire 2022 conference was scheduled to happen for two weekends in March with a follow-up event in May. During the first weekend, we provided live development support to ensure that the event ran smoothly. With minor issues resolved from the first event, the next follow-up weekend in March ran even better, ending without any issues and an overwhelmingly positive response from attendees.
