How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
With the world in lockdown and businesses unable to physically gather their employees jobs and livelihoods are threatened. Existing video technology is not sufficient to replace workshops of geographically-dispersed teams or internal and external summits some businesses rely on to operate. At the same time, students are unable to participate in classroom learning and traditional e-learning platforms are not adequate tools for satisfactory knowledge retention. VRGather, the virtual meet-up platform can be used through web browser or mobile phone with headsets for the ultimate virtual reality (VR) experience. Safe, virtual, with all the bells and whistles of an in-person meetup from panel discussions, keynote addresses, breakout sessions, one-on-one networking and even designable stands for innovation marketplace or job show exhibitions.
