Event Management
location
Nairobi, Kenya
IGAD contracted Admedia to provide end-to-end project management for the 3rd IGAD Scientific Conference on Migration and Displacement in Nairobi.
The conference attracted more than 200 delegates from IGAD member states, including French-speaking states.
The Challenge
The conference had to serve English and French speakers, reach delegates who could not travel and earn coverage beyond Kenya.
IGAD also needed a clear record of participation and feedback after the event.
The Approach
We managed media relations, securing coverage in tier-one Kenyan outlets and regional channels such as BBC Africa. We translated documents between English and French, designed the branding and collateral, and ran the event on site.
Our production team livestreamed the sessions on YouTube for virtual delegates. We used the Whova platform for networking and gathered feedback through a post-event questionnaire.
The Outcome
IGAD received a full event report, including a livestream report on virtual attendance and a Whova report on delegate interaction.
The conference reached delegates in the room, online and through regional media, in both working languages.
"The forum is important for networking and benchmarking. All relevant recommendations of the research papers will reach the member states."
