After coronavirus forced @outrid3rs to figure out how to bring their flagship event online in just a couple weeks, co-founder @JakubGornicki has plenty of advice for other newsrooms doing the same. (1/5)
1. If you have to pick one, prioritize good audio over video. People will stick around through poor video, but not choppy sound. 2. When you’re planning the schedule, think in hours, not days. 3. Don’t forget about the happy hour/after party! (2/5)
4. Test everything before the big event - your tech, your ideas, and your assumptions about what people want. 5. Think about ways to stoke FOMO for those not attending, just as you would for an in-person event. (3/5)
