Virtual events

The University is encouraging online platforms for events, minimising risk wherever possible. A decision-making process flow has been developed to assist organisers in deciding in what format their Function should proceed in times of COVID-19.

For an in-depth guide on how to organise a webinar event check out Zoom Webinar User Guide (PDF, 509KB). For Zoom Webinar backdrops, please see Zoom Webinar Banners file.

Holding a function online has several advantages:

  1. No attendance or time limits;
  2. No FoC Application required (unless advertising will occur on campus or using an ANU Venue);
  3. No risk assessment or contact tracing required;
  4. Weekly/recurring Functions can be held at consistent times;
  5. No additional cleaning required;
  6. Greater market reach;
  7. Increased capacity for attendance.

ANU ITS has some great information online to help understand and run Zoom Events and meetings.
