This innovative Manchester brand is leading the way for virtual events

The past year has seen many businesses face enormous challenges. 

But it has also sparked innovation, as companies look for new ways to work, to interact, and to adapt to new working practices and environments.

Over the last year, Manchester-based Virtual Studio Live has seen demand surge as organisations around the world want to adapt to the ‘new normal’, with broadcasts reaching over six continents and over 80 countries. 

The studio, which specialises in virtual and hybrid broadcasts, events and live streams, has already played host to the award winning widening participation initiatives from Health Careers Live including the Virtual Health Careers Conference 2020 and National Health Careers Conference 2020, which is led by a team of volunteers consisting of frontline NHS workers, healthcare students, professionals, patients, advisors and wider stakeholders. 

This important initiative has been announced as the winner of the NHS Parliamentary Awards North West. 

VSL have also hosted a 26-hour NYE celebration, RDC Global Countdown with world renowned DJs which provide entertainment whilst increasing awareness and discussion of mental health and wellbeing, wildlife, diversity and climate change.  

Now, the virtual and hybrid event delivery experts are about to showcase the first in a series of events exploring the shift towards virtual and post-COVID recovery for the industry. 

“Looking back to the start of the first lockdown in March 2020, I saw that a rapid response was required for our clients to adapt to the new situation and deliver for audiences,” says Project & Event director and CN30 under Thirty winner, Sunny Sethi.

“If I am honest everything was changing fast and we needed to adapt to the new normal.

“We knew there must be a solution working with platforms that deliver high engagement, connectivity and impactful experiences to audiences and users.”

The venture, Virtual Studio Live (VSL), was conceived to offer VSL at their studio location, at venues as hybrid delivery, and also remote virtual events with full technical and event management support.

Using their expertise, VSL allows clients to lead the way in creating world-leading experiences – and their forthcoming event is all about showcasing these new and evolving options for business. 

Virtual Studio Live have partnered up with The Mere golf resort and spa to host hybrid studio sets for the series premiere INSIDE VSL: Creating the Foundations on the 8th of April 2021. Take a peek into the resort’s golf course, spa and various lounges at #InsideVSL digitally.

The digital event will allow businesses to experience the Virtual Studio Live in action, and enjoy live performances to discover more about adapting to the new normal – and beyond.

Inside VSL: Creating The Foundations is taking place on Thursday 8th April 2021 at 4pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+1).
