- 2021 - Anniversary Event: SCOOCS Forum 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qoYVRxCws0
- 2020 - Due to the pandemic, we had to move to the virtual space faster than expected, but organizing a virtual conference changed the way we think about academic exchange. We wanted to ensure that we had done everything in our power to create the best and most immersive online experience for this conference, and are proud of the result: iChair.
- 2020 - The virtual Reeperbahn Festival on iChair gets awarded iChair helps its clients to shine: The Reeperbahn Festival won the GERMAN SILVER MULTI-MEDIA AWARD 2021. 2 days, 3 continents, 4 time zones. The Annual Multimedia Award provides an overview of the digital advertising year, documents the state of the art, and filters out pioneering works. It provides answers to questions about current standards, possibilities, and future perspectives of digital brand communication. The Reeperbahn Festival international is the European platform for the pop culture and was hosted virtually this year using iChair. With performances on all continents, it connects the music industry internationally. Due to Covid-19 this year, it was hosted as a hybrid event with 40 delegates who met on-site in Berlin and experienced the program of keynotes, panels, company visits, matchmakings, singer-songwriter contest, and showcase live music on the specially developed digital platform together with 160 digital participants from the USA and China. It, therefore, was awarded in the category “Events on the Internet”. We are happy to have been part of this interesting journey to mediate culture over a totally new channel.
