With our event software, we continue the virtual event series of the German energy company E.ON. After the successful digital Energy Innovation Days 2020, E.ON uses our tools this year to connect its community. Together, we have created the E.ON Republic of Innovators in a customised design, where virtual events take place throughout the year. In the virtual meeting place, which is accessible free of charge, every member of the community becomes an “innovation citizen” and has the opportunity to network with energy experts and exchange ideas about a sustainable energy world.

Last year, we already hosted a virtual conference for E.ON on our platform in cooperation with our partner “On The Rock”. Since the E.ON Energy Innovation Days 2020 were a complete success with 5,000 participants from 63 countries and a great 3D exhibition, the event professionals and E.ON are relying on our support again this year and will make events in 2021 a digital experience on our platform. Since then, a lot has happened with us, too! In contrast to last year, we are not only mapping an event, but also building a long-term and sustainable world for the community. In future, E.ON Innovation would like to present even more partners in the Community Space and encourage international exchange between participants. 

All of this can be mapped via the “E.ON Republic of Innovators”. Virtual events now take place here all year round. In a digital forum, participants can find information on global topics and innovative energy concepts and exchange ideas with each other. In addition, the usual features such as speaker information, networking area and virtual business cards can also be found in the “Republic of Innovators”.  With the Community Space, we make it possible for several virtual events to take place in one central location. Interested parties can attend versatile event formats, such as Energy Talks, webinars and partner events, and join in the discussion.  In an excitingly designed 3D world in the form of a flying island, members of the “Republic of Innovators” have the opportunity to take advantage of a variety of offers. To emphasise the importance of partnerships, the island presents global energy companies in its “Partner Valley”. Every visitor to the island can configure his or her own avatar and engage in interactive formats such as networking sessions, a virtual coin search and exclusive events to discuss the latest energy topics.

Working closely together, the three partners E.ON Innovation, rooom and On The Rock Group broke ground for a new era of events and brand experiences In 2021, the Republic of Innovators has gained more than 5,000 users In total, 10 events with 52 sessions were streamed in 2021 Overall, there are 17 partners represented on the Republic of Innovators incl. Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, Siemens Energy, DNV etc. The E.ON Energy Innovation Days 2021, a three-day conference that was hosted both live and in the virtual community space, became a successful event Invaluable knowledge gained about the topics shaping the energy world, as well as the appreciation and realization of a growing community asking the same kinds of questions and working hard to find out the answers
