Virtual Event Resources Toolkit

In Summer 2020, the BCMA and Heritage BC embarked on the joint research project “Future Perfect: Developing Effective Models for Digital, Physical, and Blended Conferences” funded by Canada Council for the Arts Digital Strategy Fund.

Through Future Perfect, we developed a comprehensive framework for a new breed of digital conferences that are more accessible, more affordable, and minimize the digital divide that impedes communities with less access to high-speed internet from participating fully online. This new framework can be adopted by other disciplines, such as performing and visual arts organizations that present and share knowledge through conferences, and other events.

We assessed existing online collaboration tools, video conferencing and cloud-based information repositories and looked at how they could be integrated or used to deliver an excellent equivalent conference experience. We gathered information on what makes digital engagement and participation worthwhile for speakers and participants. We also explored behavioural dimensions of the use of digital tools for work during this pandemic to learn what the persistent behaviours might be beyond the present crisis.

The project is ongoing and we will update this toolkit as resources and findings from our research become available.

As an organization of provincial scope, Heritage BC recognizes that its members, and the local history and heritage they seek to preserve, occupy the lands and territories of B.C.’s Indigenous peoples. Heritage BC asks its members and everyone working in the heritage sector to reflect on the places where they reside and work, and to respect the diversity of cultures and experiences that form the richness of our provincial heritage.
