As the public service shifted abruptly to virtual in spring 2020, the Canada School of Public Service’s Event Management Services struck a ‘Going Virtual Tiger Team’ to explore effective options for the virtual delivery of its offerings, both in terms of '''experience design''', and the selection and '''integration of technologies'''. This portion of work will focus on a specific set of offerings: hosting virtual standalone gatherings, specifically '''meetings, collaborative sessions, corporate events, and conferences.''' Through this forum, employees at CSPS developed and curated a range of job-aids, placemats, checklists, and decks to meet operational needs. Below, you will find resources that might help your team continue to develop and delivery quality events in virtual spaces.  

As much of the public service shifted unexpectedly to virtual in spring 2020, the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) Event Management Services struck a ‘Going Virtual Tiger Team’ to explore effective options for the virtual delivery of its offerings, both in terms of '''experience design''', and the selection and '''integration of technologies'''. This portion of work focused on hosting virtual standalone gatherings, specifically '''meetings, collaborative sessions, corporate events, and conferences.''' Through this forum, employees at CSPS developed and curated a range of job-aids, placemats, checklists, and decks to meet operational needs. Below, you will find resources that might help your team continue to develop and delivery quality events in virtual spaces.  

Please note that these resources are up to date as of '''August, 2020, unless otherwise indicated''' – MS Teams and other platforms continue to push updates on a regular basis. '''Many of these resources remain in progress, or continue to be road-tested around the School''' - feel free to use, adapt, or refine these resources as needed for the context of your team and work.
