Ever wonder why digital events feel... flat? It’s not the content—it’s the lack of serendipity. 𝗜𝗻-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: ▪ Coffee chats sparking ideas. ▪ Hallway encounters opening doors. ▪ Lunches turning into partnerships. Even looking at my own habits: I rarely sit through talks or panels—they’re usually available online later. I’d rather wander the booths and hang out in the hallways. And of course, 😄 I’m always on the hunt for the best food. 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀? 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀: ✔ Structured? Yes. ✔ Efficient? Absolutely. ✘ Memorable? Rarely. Here’s the twist: serendipity can be designed. 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: ▪ Feel present in engaging spaces. ▪ Experience dynamic & interactive moments. ▪ Explore freely, driven by curiosity. ▪ Choose how & when to engage. ▪ Interact through gestures + body language. How do YOU bring back the sense of spontaneity to remote experiences? #GetSocial ✨💫👇
I have a hard time not being able to gesture and interact through web interfaces. I guess desktop interfaces. But I don't typically like to be in social worlds in v r, so I struggle with the idea of free moving interaction and gestures
I must admit - I've not been to any virtual events(!) And it's just for this reason. I always prefer to go in person. I really should make more of an effort now that the technology is allowing more engagement during events.

56mThis is something I’ve noticed as well. I held an event in VR for developers a couple of weeks ago, and it didn’t go as planned due to some technical issues and the speaker wasn't able to speak. However, because it was in VR, everyone naturally formed small groups and talked among themselves. It ended up working really well as a networking event for many of them—something that just wouldn’t have happened in a typical Zoom meeting.
