Virtual Event Planning and Production

Hybrid event: Business of Design Week (BODW) 2020

Background

Organized by Hong Kong Design Centre, Business of Design Week (BODW), is an Asia’s premier annual event on design, innovation and brands since 2002. It gathers some of the world’s most outstanding design masters and business influencers in Hong Kong and all around the world to inspire global audiences on the strategic value of design and innovation. It is also a valuable platform for business and creative leaders to exchange ideas, network, and explore new business opportunities.

Challenges

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, BODW 2020 turned from a physical event into a hybrid event. There were more than 100 visionaries and creative leaders across sectors and industries from around the world to share their ideas in a series of engaging hybrid forums and discussions, including 57 live and semi-live webinars in three languages to contribute their insights on collaborative creativity, diversity and sustainable and inclusive growth.
