Background

AMWC is the world’s leading congress for aesthetic and anti-aging medicine. Under the scientific supervision of the Aesthetic Multispecialty Society (AMS), AMWC features a highly interactive, stimulating, and multidisciplinary programme tailored to foster idea exchange, update knowledge and share expertise.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers chose to maintain the event and make it fully virtual.

Challenges

  • Synchronise speakers and participants across 3 time zones (France/Principality of Monaco, Thailand, Colombia) on a single platform.
  • Organise and manage the production remotely since the speakers were confined at home.
  • Deliver simultaneous interpretation in 3 languages in 3 rooms for a total of 9 simultaneous livestreams.
  • Manage real-time interactions between speakers and participants in different languages and on different continents.
