Delivering an engaging town hall meeting to 1,700+ people
In 2021, the Portuguese national postal service faced a unique digital challenge: Streaming their first virtual event to more than 1,700 employees joining digitally.
The client didn’t want to execute a standard town hall meeting, but wished for people to engage with the speakers. Therefore, they asked VOQIN’ for the event’s organization, as VOQIN’ – a popular Portuguese global experience agency – is well known for bringing emotions to virtual events.

Engaging 1,700+ people in a virtual town hall meeting
VOQIN’ Emex for digital experience in the front end
VOQIN’ used emex, their digital events platform with enhanced engagement functions, to deliver emotions on this unique online experience and to generate engagement and reach a large audience.
Being an expert in digital events, VOQIN’ quickly realized that organizing the event itself and bringing people virtually together was not the only challenge. They recognized that bandwidth was limited. And as the same network deals with the client’s business, it was crucial to keep it working during the virtual town hall meeting.
StriveCast helped us to deliver an amazing event in a very short time. Every team member we spoke to was very on point with clear communication and a very high level of technical skills.
The solution: StriveCast eCDN for the back end
Thanks to StriveCast’s eCDN more than 1,700 real-time viewers enjoyed the digital event in best quality.
Bandwidth savings provided by StriveCast's eCDN went up to 70%, which was really important for the end-users as the ingress bandwidth was limited and distributed across the entire country - and it is the same network that deals with the client's business, so keeping that working was also a big challenge. Having the simple solution from StriveCast dramatically enhanced the entire experience.
