accesso Client Seminar 2021: Virtual Learning, Real Connections

Posted In Blogs on

After an eventful 2020, it was important to the accesso team to bring back our annual accesso Client Seminar for 2021, but the question was “How?” With a little help from our virtual event platform, Virbela, we were able to deliver a safe and engaging client seminar experience – and share (virtual) high fives with friends old and new. Read on to discover highlights from our 2021 event!

Our Virtual World

Our virtual event platform was supported by Virbela, and facilitated the same great learning and networking opportunities that our usual in-person event does! Attendees were able to download the Virbela campus, create an avatar and be immediately immersed into a virtual world. Our attendees could virtually “walk” around the campus and take a seat in a virtual classroom for one of the 44 of the educational sessions and roundtables that were offered, explore our expo hall and chat with sponsors, and network with colleagues in a breakout area.

“I enjoyed the virtual format; it was more cost-efficient and made it much easier to multi-task with routine business throughout the day.” – accesso Client Seminar 2021 attendee

Virbela offered our clients the ability to attend Seminar from anywhere in the world – no flights required. We were very proud to announce that this year we included all our solutions and welcomed over 250 attendees from 119 venues, over 50% of whom were new to Client Seminar. Our attendees were from a wide range of venues including theme parks, live entertainment, ski and cultural attractions all over the globe.

Session Highlights

“We are always interested in accesso's roadmap for development. Our goal is to grow and add new features over time as they become available through the system.” – accesso Client Seminar 2021 attendee

Our accesso Client Seminar allows our clients to access expert training on their solutions, discover what products may compliment what they already use, and most importantly learn what’s new with our accesso solutions. There were many well-attended sessions this year, with the continued tradition of the Keynote and What’s New Sessions being the most attended. Other popular sessions included “accesso Siriusware Control 101”, “New Enhancements for Combo Clients”, and “Channeling Your Inner Detective” with attendance numbers over 125 participants!

This past year was full of challenges, which have encouraged many of us to take a step a back, re-strategize, adapt, and collaborate. During our Keynote, accesso’s President of Operations, Bruno Boehi spoke about the journey accesso has taken to support our diverse client base. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve devoted our time and resources to helping our clients navigate closures, uncertainty and reopening, while continuously adapting our suite of products to meet ever-increasing and changing guest expectations. In closing, Bruno spoke about the three pillars that guide us forward at accesso: Team, Customer, and Product. “We would not exist without all of them.”
