Gavel International Seamlessly Transitions an In-Person Event Into a Virtual Event

A major pharmaceutical company found itself in a bind when it needed to transition its annual awards ceremony from an in-person event into a virtual event due to COVID-19 social distancing protocols. This event is among the most prominent for the organization, as it recognizes top sales performers and employees who have gone above and beyond in different ways. Furthermore, the awards ceremony had never been held virtually before. A tight lead time of three weeks further compounded the matter.

The pharmaceutical business turned to Gavel International to execute the event in partnership with a production company. They entrusted the job to Gavel International due to the meeting and incentive management organization’s strong track record, top-performing employees, effective processes, and 16 years of history working with the production company.

Gavel International rose to the challenge, quickly formulating a plan. The company leveraged its existing relationships with first-rate vendors to provide critical services such as script writing and technical support while utilizing their proprietary software for secure registration, secure access to the event, and virtual technology.

Capitalizing on the agility it has developed over the course of 36 years, Gavel International planned and executed a successful virtual event. With employees who are the most skilled and experienced in the industry, the meeting and incentive business was able to provide the talent necessary to help the pharmaceutical company accomplish its goals for the awards ceremony.

While the pharmaceutical company will likely hold future awards ceremonies in person, leadership can now rest assured that complex events can be planned and executed virtually without compromising the end results. The skill set, processes, and professional network Gavel International brings to the table make it possible.
