BC - New Democratic Party
Objective
After decades of in-person events, the BC NDP planned to host its first-ever virtual convention in November 2021. But three days before the event, the province experienced devastating flooding and had to pivot its plans on very short notice to accommodate its delegates affected by the disaster.
Solution
- Worked collaboratively and quickly to adjust convention dates, format and content to suit the evolving situation
- Pivoted elections to an online model that allowed delegates affected by the disaster to vote over an extended period
- Rapidly updated the Chime Live platform to distribute critical information to over 700 delegates
Outcome
"When literal disaster struck, the Encore team could not have been more flexible and responsive. They went above and beyond to help us secure a new date and pivot our convention activities to meet our goals and obligations to our members. They were instrumental in ensuring our rescheduled convention was able to happen quickly, and still looked amazing -- without blowing the budget! We're so grateful for their support and expertise.”
