Amidst the growing Coronavirus concerns, MediaOps, a leading global media platform for technical communities, provides a Conference Disaster Plan (CDP) aimed at providing conference organizers with a virtual event platform and capability that is almost identical to the experience of an in-person physical event.

MediaOps has created over 10 virtual events in the past 18 months which have provided dozens of concurrent sessions, multiple expo halls and thousands of attendees each. The platform is capable of rendering both live and recorded multi-track sessions in private virtual auditoriums, complete expo floor and booth capabilities, signage, chat, treasure hunt activities and more. The MediaOps platform encompasses all the features of a live conference, including keynotes, panel sessions, Q&A, booths, attendee interaction, sponsorships and much more. Virtually anything possible at in-person events is available via this platform.

Moreover, MediaOps has the personnel and expertise to create events in a timely manner, which provides event organizers the ability to simulate a real-world setting without the travel.

Alan Shimel, CEO & Founder of MediaOps says, “We take this current situation very seriously; the health and well-being of our community is essential. So, for this CDP, we want to offer options that are safe and effective”. Adding on more, he says, “Like it or not, this virus outbreak may be a tipping point in moving from the real world to virtual events. They offer comparable experiences without the travel, expense and loss of work time that physical events impose”.

Furthermore, MediaOps, with its new IT as Code community platform and along with analyst firm Accelerated Strategies Group, DevOps Institute and JumpCloud, will be conducting a survey to better understand the community's thoughts and concerns about travel amid the current health crisis and possible implications for future events.
