Client Highlights

The Allstate Soccer Show

In 2021 mkem supported Allstate Insurance Canada in creating three virtual events catering to Soccer fans from across Canada. The event nominated for Best Virtual Consumer Event. mkem is proud to continue working with Allstate Insurance Canada as we bring the event back in person and live online for October 2022.

The 2021 online event also won the Best Virtual Consumer/Public Show award from Canadian Special Events Magazine:

Alexa Live

Alexa Live is Amazon’s signature event for their Alexa developers, inviting thousands worldwide to discover what’s new and exciting on the platform. The event was a massive success with thousands of guests interacting with each other and connecting with the Alexa team.  mkem is always excited to be part of technologies that help shape our world.

MomFest

MomFest returned in 2021 with a hybrid event style approach.  Pairing the Hopin platform with an in person event allowed mom’s who weren’t comfortable coming to the event to still connect and participate.  We look forward to returning in 2022 with another immersive hybrid experience.

The Sports Card & Memorabilia Expo

mkem led the charge on transitioning this event to become a successful case study on taking an in-person event digital. Through partnerships with eBay and Hopin we paved the way for other traditionally in-person events to thrive in the online space during COVID19.

  • The entire mkem team was fantastic to work with.

    The entire mkem team was fantastic to work with. They were informative, responsive, and patient with our many stakeholders’ questions and requests. They helped educate us on platform functionality, as we were using Hopin in a new capacity for our event. They were nimble and supportive as we had to tackle some unexpected platform challenges, and their in-depth knowledge of the platform was invaluable in helping our team identify and align on strategic pivots. They undoubtedly played a critical role in the success of our event. I cannot recommend their services enough, and sincerely look forward to working with them again in the future!

  • mkem’s responsiveness and attention to detail were second to none.

    We launched our first-ever hybrid event with mkem and after the first conversation with Mikey, our concerns and anxieties over the virtual aspects of our conference were alleviated. mkem was able to take-over all of the Zoom responsibilities, and ensure virtual attendees and speakers had a smooth and engaging experience. mkem’s responsiveness and attention to detail were second to none, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone organizing a virtual or hybrid event.

  • Working with mkem was a fantastic experience!

    Working with mkem was a fantastic experience! We decided to pivot from a hybrid event to a virtual event seven weeks prior to our annual meeting and they were able to accommodate all the extra work that was required to deliver a successful meeting. They were always supportive and professional with the organizing team and speakers. mkem made a difficult situation seem less daunting. Their partnership was invaluable.

  • “Top notch service with a fantastic lens for detail.

    We partnered with mkem to produce the conference and were extremely grateful for their professionalism, expertise and attention to detail. Right from the planning kick-off, the team at mkem was collaborative and provided a great deal of transparency and open communication, which was greatly appreciated.

    They had every component of our event covered, from platform branding to speaker training and much more. We definitely could not have pulled off such an amazing event without their support.
