8 Tips for the Celonis World Tour: How You Make the Most of a Virtual Conference

The global pandemic has brought our standard 9-to-5 office lives to a screeching halt. With many of us working from home now, slacking, e-mailing, video-conferencing has become the new (and sometimes brain-draining) normal. And while “Zoom fatigue” is a real thing, that doesn’t mean you can’t spice up your workday once in a while!

The Celonis World Tour, our worldwide virtual Process Excellence roadshow, gives you the chance to not only listen to some of the world’s most interesting global players but also actively engaging and networking with industry peers — all while staying in the comfortable surroundings of your own home.

8 Tips on How to Make the Most of a Virtual Conference

Before

• Organize your session schedule. Review and select topics and sessions in advance can help maximize your time and learning. With 7 different World Tour stops to choose from, you can attend only the event in your region or even all of them. Choose the perfect ones at Celonis World Tour for your industry here.

• Prioritize your time. The truth is multitasking isn’t that productive. Focus on making the best use out of your time by being truly present. Set reminders for sessions so you don’t miss something important.

• Minimize distractions. Interruptions happen. Set yourself up in a quiet space. Be sure to silence your phone, block off your calendar, and put a “Do not Disturb” message on, so you can fully focus.

• Familiarize yourself with the tools. There’s nothing worse than missing something because of faulty technology. Be sure to test your audio and ensure a strong wifi connection. For the best experience, use a laptop instead of your smartphone.

During

• Be an active participant. Plan to participate beyond listening. Take notes. Ask questions during the live sessions. Partake in online polling. Get active on social by using conference hashtags, live chats, and other tools to connect.

• Build your virtual community. At an in-person conference, you're normally just listening to a speaker and making small talk in the coffee line. Virtually, you have a chance to engage in more meaningful ways. Create and share insights by collaborating with others. Expand your network by joining a conference platform, like our LinkedIn page.

• Schedule 1:1 sessions with a specialist. Learn more about a topic or product by reaching out to a specialist. This is an excellent chance to connect deeper and gain knowledge.

After

• Take advantage of replays. Catch any recorded sessions you may have missed. Debrief with fellow attendees and peers. Keep the conversation going by sharing key takeaways on LinkedIn and other platforms.
