Jacobs Strengthens Public Engagement Solutions with New Virtual Event Space

DALLAS, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) is continuing its leadership in public engagement solutions, with the launch of a new, fully customized, online and interactive Jacobs' Virtual Event Space. As part of Jacobs' global suite of digital solutions, the Virtual Event Space can be tailored to deliver deep and meaningful engagement for any client, partner or project.  

Around the world, Jacobs develops and delivers public communication strategies and community involvement plans for clients' projects. Most often and until recently, these were facilitated via face-to-face public meetings. As projects look to continue important stakeholder engagement and avoid program delays, alternative solutions to face-to-face events are required. Jacobs' Virtual Event Space enables clients to provide their stakeholders with a rich, interactive, virtual experience that they can easily access straight from any computer or mobile device, without the need for virtual reality headsets.

"With the recent restrictions on the way we interact with people, Jacobs specialists have enabled a way for our clients to accelerate and redefine how they connect and consult with stakeholders and end users in the future," said Jacobs Vice President and Global Digital Market Director Dr. Raja Kadiyala. "Leveraging our global digital solutions capability, we are challenging what's possible today and reinventing a new way forward – providing more accessible, more inclusive, more resilient and lower carbon impact engagement."

From real time feedback and information gathering sessions, to exhibitions, to public consultations sharing plans for major infrastructure and community developments, this customized virtual event experience allows public participation and engagement from the safety and comfort of home.

Mirroring every aspect of face-to-face meetings, Jacobs' Virtual Event Space extends engagement with a wider audience and gives unparalleled access to people who cannot be at an event in person. It enables events to be held more safely, more sustainably, more cost-effectively and delivered more rapidly. It offers flexible configuration, an interactive visitor experience, real-time feedback, and can be integrated with clients' other digital and social media platforms.

A demonstration of the Virtual Events Space is available here, or for more information about the virtual tool, please contact JacobsVES@jacobs.com or go to Jacobs' Virtual Events Space.
