The Client

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a public research university located in Sydney, Australia. UTS is one of the leading young universities in the world, renowned for its practice-oriented learning environments, strong research performance, and deep connections with industry. One of their initiatives, UTS Startups, aims to inspire and support UTS students to become tech-enabled entrepreneurs.

The Brief

UTS sought to host the UTS Startups Summit, a first of its kind, large-scale event aimed at inspiring Year Nine and Year Ten high school students to explore the world of tech-enabled entrepreneurship. The event was not just about introducing students to the world of entrepreneurship; it was about showcasing the diversity and inclusivity within the industry and demonstrating that technology underpins so much of what can be achieved.

This vision aligned perfectly with Best Case Scenario’s ethos of working with changemakers who make a significant impact on the technology sector. Best Case Scenario understood that this event was a grassroots initiative designed to make entrepreneurship more appealing and encourage students from all backgrounds and cultures to learn more about the opportunities the tech sector holds for both creatives and tech-minded individuals.

The UTS Startups Summit was seen as an opportunity to ignite curiosity, inspire young minds, and drive the changes we wish to see. The event was designed so that students would not only hear captivating stories from young entrepreneurs who have walked in their shoes but also gain invaluable insights into their journeys, strategies, and identities. This was a chance for students to take their first steps toward their own entrepreneurial dreams.

The brief was clear: to support UTS Startups in creating an event targeted at year 9 and 10 students to ignite and inspire their desire to become tech-enabled entrepreneurs.

The challenge was significant, but Best Case Scenario was ready to rise to it, bringing their expertise in event management and their aligned commitment to diversity and inclusion to the table.

The Solution

Best Case Scenario took on the challenge of providing comprehensive event management services.

Streamlining operations & collaboration, BCS organised WIP documents, action items and ran weekly catch-up meetings. Created and maintained Runsheet’s for operations and production, supported the onsite registration process, documented volunteer roles and responsibilities.
Supporting speaker involvement, developed speaker tracking documents, created speaker briefing packs and supported briefing calls.
For marketing and promotions, Best Case Scenario delivered outreach emails to schools, created promotional assets, and leveraged their own network to support event attendance. They also built a portal for communications and assets, and liaised with the schools to collect transport and attendance details.
In terms of venue management, Best Case Scenario liaised with the venue regarding food and beverage and audiovisual requirements, communicated the run sheet to the venue, confirmed AV requirements, floor plans, and event signage, and provided accessibility information for delegates.
Summit production, we were the main point of contact with ICC AV to ensure the summit delivered a seamless production component. We liaised with speakers and UTS to create the overarching production elements.
Management of the event, Best Case Scenario supported onsite staff for briefings, supported the registration area and help desk and circulated a contact list with mobile numbers to all staff and volunteers, supported the auditorium zoning, reviewed the chain of command in case of emergency and arranged for St John’s ambulance to be in attendance.

The Results

The UTS Startups Summit was a resounding success, attracting thousands of Year Nine and Year Ten high school students.

The event ran smoothly, because of the great collaboration between the UTS Startups team and Best Case Scenario, through joint efforts of meticulous planning and execution ensuring a positive experience for all attendees.

The event was also marked by inspiring words from key figures in education and government. Murat Dizdar, Secretary of the NSW Department of Education, praised the teachers’ dedication, saying, “Understanding entrepreneurship and developing these key skills is a valuable component of your educational journey. To the teachers here, thank you for your dedication in bringing these students to this enriching event and introducing them to new ways of thinking and building skills.”

The Hon Anoulack Chanthivong, NSW Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, expressed his anticipation for the future, stating, “We’re eagerly awaiting the next generation of entrepreneurs to rise and shape a brighter future.”

Murray Hurps, Director of Entrepreneurship at UTS, praised the event, stating, “The UTS Startups team makes me proud literally every day, but yesterday’s UTS Startups Summit was a new high point.” He also expressed his gratitude towards Best Case Scenario, saying, “A huge thank you to Best Case Scenario for their exceptional event management skills. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication played a significant role in the success of the UTS Startups Summit.”

The UTS Startups Summit is a testament to Best Case Scenario’s commitment to delivering high-quality events and their ability to manage a wide range of event aspects.

Driving Meaningful Change: Let’s Rock Unveils the Power of Inclusive Workplaces

Post author By theresa Rivera
Post date July 12, 2023

As the partnership unfolded, our shared vision became more apparent, —to celebrate diversity and champion inclusive workplaces. Our values aligned perfectly, fuelling our passion to support their ground-breaking initiative, Let’s Rock NSW, which was a transformative event that asked attendees to ‘Rethink Disability’ by challenging perceptions, sparking conversations, and activating lasting change.

This gathering brought together an extraordinary ensemble—NSW public sector employees, people with disability working in the public sector, esteemed senior executives, and passionate representatives from the disability sector. It was a harmonious tapestry of collaboration and inclusivity.

BCS’s involvement in Let’s Rock NSW was more than just to support their event operations; it was an unwavering commitment to how we too needed to redefine disability as we knew it. We both understood that diversity and inclusion were not just abstract concepts but vital pillars for innovation and success. This event became the perfect platform to showcase the positive impact of inclusive practices and shatter preconceived notions about disability.

Within the Let’s Rock event, a beacon of change/action emerged—the captivating keynote speaker, Dylan Alcott AO. As a world-renowned wheelchair tennis player, Paralympic gold medalist, and relentless disability advocate, Dylan shared his remarkable journey and accomplishments. His presence illuminated the room, igniting a collective realisation that assumptions should not be made about people with disability and that they quite often possess immeasurable talent that as an employer, you could be missing out on. Through his story, attendees were compelled to create inclusive environments where everyone’s unique abilities were celebrated.

The event unfolded with a riveting panel discussion, where experts delved into the barriers encountered when striving for diverse workplaces. Their insights and lived experiences sparked a fire within attendees, challenging them to question traditional norms and embrace fresh perspectives.

Let’s Rock NSW shattered the glass ceiling of conventional thinking surrounding disability and inclusion. It showcased success stories and emphasised the immeasurable value of diverse perspectives. It became an embodiment of the contributions people with disability make in the NSW public sector. BCS felt an immense pride in being part of an initiative that invited attendees to revolutionise their mindset and strive for transformative change.

The impact of Let’s Rock NSW was profound and enduring. Participants departed with a renewed commitment to foster inclusive workplaces and become agents of change. They experienced a paradigm shift—a revelation that diversity and inclusion were not just buzzwords but catalysts for innovation, growth, and societal progress.

BCS want to share this remarkable collaboration and the tale of Let’s Rock NSW, with their own clients, illustrating NSW Government’s unwavering journey towards creating a truly diverse workforce.

Being part of this event is an affirmation that when organisations embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, they set the stage for true greatness. And with each collaboration, BCS sought to propel this revelation forward, illuminating the path towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

Bonus Content – 10 Impactful Guidelines for Case Study Video Creation

By following these tips, you can create impactful B2B video case studies that effectively showcase your success stories and influence potential customers.

Define your objective: Clearly identify the purpose of your video case study. Is it to showcase a successful implementation, highlight customer satisfaction, or demonstrate the benefits of your product/service? Having a clear objective will guide your entire storytelling process.
Select the right customer: Choose a customer whose experience aligns closely with your target audience. Ensure they have achieved significant results or overcome specific challenges with the help of your solution. This will make the case study more relevant and relatable to potential customers.

Keep it concise: B2B audiences have limited attention spans, so keep your video case study concise and focused. Aim for a duration of 2-3 minutes to maintain engagement. Trim unnecessary details and focus on the most impactful aspects of the customer’s journey.
Use visuals effectively: Visuals play a crucial role in capturing viewers’ attention and conveying information. Incorporate engaging footage, relevant product/service demonstrations, and on-screen text to highlight key messages. Consider using graphics, animations, or customer testimonials to enhance the storytelling.
Feature customer testimonials: Include interviews or testimonials from the customer to add credibility and authenticity. Let them share their firsthand experience, challenges faced, and the positive impact your solution had on their business. Authentic and genuine testimonials can greatly influence potential customers.
Showcase measurable results: Highlight the measurable results or key metrics achieved by the customer after implementing your solution. Whether it’s increased revenue, cost savings, improved efficiency, or customer satisfaction, quantifiable outcomes provide tangible evidence of your solution’s value.
Add a strong call to action: End the video case study with a clear call to action, directing viewers on the next steps they should take. This could include visiting your website, contacting your sales team, or requesting a demo. Make it easy for viewers to engage with your company after watching the case study.
Promote and distribute effectively: Once the video case study is ready, ensure it reaches your target audience. Share it on relevant platforms such as your website, social media channels, email newsletters, and industry-specific communities. Consider leveraging paid advertising or partnering with industry influencers to expand its reach.
Measure and optimise: Track the performance of your video case study by monitoring engagement metrics, such as views, click-through rates, and conversions. Use this data to refine your approach and optimise future video case studies for better results.

The Results

BCS introduced and identified that adding pre-conference workshops to the program would be of benefit to delegates attending the next two days of the conference, they were well received and a great start in assisting delegates on getting the most out of the conference.

Part of the digital marketing program focused on influencer marketing this resulted in a large increase in social media engagement and followers for IoTAA during the campaign. We leveraged LinkedIN’s Sales Navigator to connect with decision makers in key industry segments such as Water, Energy, Manufacturing and more.
