The RMS has a long history of hosting events on behalf of Societies, providing the administrative support, event registration, promotion, and post-event reporting that result in successful events.
Virtual events have become significantly more popular in the scientific community as they overcome some of the restrictions that have seen reductions in the number of in person event attendees:
-
Increased accessibility and inclusivity.
-
Reduced costs for both organisers and attendees.
-
Lower environmental impact.
-
New collaboration opportunities.
Event Hosting for Gold and Silver Corporate Members
The RMS virtual event hosting service is to be introduced in 2026 exclusively to Gold and Silver Corporate Members.
Throughout 2024 we trialled virtual event hosting for our Corporate Members, working with Leica, Nikon, Oxford Instruments, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Zeiss. These collaborations have led to the development of a virtual event hosting service which will be rolled out throughout 2026, exclusively to our RMS Gold and Silver Corporate Members.
The service will be provided through our Zoom account as a standard package and includes:
-
Dedicated Event Manager.
-
Event page hosting and registration on the RMS website.
-
Hosting of the virtual event including administrative support during the event.
-
Email marketing to our GDPR approved mailing lists.
-
Social media marketing.
-
Post-event statistics and feedback.
Optional extras can be added to the standard package, priced separately.
We aim to provide 8-10 one-hour opportunities in a 12-month period.
Why should you run your event with the RMS?
We have decades of experience hosting events and due to the pandemic have acquired a great deal of experience organising and hosting virtual meetings, courses, and workshops.
The RMS has an extensive reach through both its marketing contacts but also its social media following.
The income generated by these events goes towards supporting all of the charitable activities and aims of the Society.
We want to support everyone in the microscopy, imaging, and cytometry communities and this includes our valued corporate members that support the RMS.
