Lessons learned from running a 150-person all-hands @INNOQ company event online: It works quite well (Thread)

We’ve done these things for 20 years, 6-8 times per year. Typically we pick a hotel somewhere and spend two or three days there, with people arriving from all over Germany and Switzerland.

This time, due to obvious reasons, we had to transform it into an online event. The format was more or less classical three-track conference style for day 1, and mostly open space sessions on day 2.

We used @SlackHQ for coordination, @Confluence pages for the dynamic program, @MiroHQ for collaborative boards, @zoom_us for video conferencing, plus a ton of other tools among individual groups. All worked very well for us.

Hi Stefan, thanks a lot for your report. Did you use the breakout sessions with 150 participants, too? Would be interesting to know if this works for so many people for a session we are running in a few weeks. Thanks!
