Woo! That was a thing! *GRIN*
Vrghr's first try at hosting panels in a virtual space seemed to go pretty well!
For those unaware, wuffy was accepted by MegaplexOnline con to host two panels at their virtual convention. Wuff naturally selected food/cooking as his subject matter, and hosted two Sous Vide panels: Beginning and Advanced subject versions.
The turn out for both was AMAZING!! When wuffy did this live a year ago and just hosted 1 combined panel, we seated around 12-14 folks at highest point.
But Vrghr had nearly 40 people in the panel space at highest count for the Beginner panel, with an average around 30. And had a high count of over 30 for the Advanced with an average around 25.
*FAINTS*
Vrghr had no idea this wuff and his panels would get a following like that!
First panel went really well, and wuff was able to keep the time under an hour (about 55 minutes). But wasn't quite able to watch the audience chat for questions diligently enough.
So Allon the Cookie Dragon (
starallon here on FA) volunteered to co-host the second panel with wuffy, to help answer audience questions and lend his wealth of professional cooking experience. What a treat that was! Vrghr was Honored to have him join!
Wuff went a bit long in the 2nd panel, but the advantage of a virtual room is that there's no one waiting at the door for the next session. Even though wuffy got a bit wordy and ran about 10 minutes over the hour, everyone stayed and listened!
Lots of good questions and interaction. And seemed like folks were happy and entertained for both panels!
WOOT!!
*Wuff breathes a huge sigh of relief!*
This was so much fun! Thank you,
MelWhite and everyone else who encouraged this wuff to take the chance on it. Vrghr would have missed out on a lot of fun had he skipped it. And hopefully, folks actually learned a bit and had some fun attending.
And the "Recording" light was on the whole time for both sessions, so MegaplexOnline has the panels saved somewhere out there. We'll see if there's a way to offer them for play back at some point, for the folks who weren't able to attend or who might want to review the info again.
Wuff will DEFINITELY consider doing this again should Megaplex go live next year. And even if they don't, Vrghr will certainly sign up again for the virtual versions!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH all who attended!! You really made wuffy's day!
*FLOOFY WUFFY HUGS TO ALL*
Carry on, and have a delightful weekend!

Loved seeing you in the audience there. They need a better way to chat between guests there than the random meetup thing.
V.
I'm glad that it was a successful show! Sounds like you had a lot of fun. :)
*hugs*

Thank you kindly!
You absolutely rock!!!!
And thank you for your support, and for nudging wuffy here into doing those panels. It was the right decision!
