What our partners have to say

“One of the gains we saw in our recruitment efforts this fall due to our shift to virtual and utilizing the Conduit platform was our ability to offer our Bringing the U to You events in all 50 states—something we have never done before. We saw this as an opportunity to not only host these events in the markets where we have done them in the past, but to also reach out to completely new markets. Through this series of events, we had students join every event we held. Furthermore, we continued to see engagement after the actual event because the sessions were available on-demand. This is something that would not have happened with live, in-person events.”

Mateo Remsburg, Ed.D.

Director of Recruitment University of Utah

“Recent alumni panels are a highly impactful way to engage successful individuals with direct ties to Babson College while not asking for a heavy commitment of their time. In less than an hour we were able to have great personalities sharing their direct perspectives, and most importantly outcomes, of their Babson experience with nearly 100 engaged prospects. This was far more meaningful to the alumni, the institution, and those prospective students than any singular financial contribution would have been. While first presented as a live panel, this also makes for great on demand content within our broader continuous outreach to new prospective students.”

Courtney Minden

Vice President for Enrollment Babson College

“We knew we needed to act quickly and adapt given the global pandemic and the shift to virtual-only options. An engaging and reliable platform where we could host thousands of students for our marquee open house event and beyond was critical to our success. The events we produced with PlatformQ Education on Conduit have enabled us to combine live and pre-recorded content into a truly unique experience with great results.”

Elizabeth Orehovec

Senior Associate Director graduate Admissions University of South Carolina

“At Notre Dame, we developed a virtual strategy that goes beyond our traditional in-person family events. We’ve created virtual regional events that bring together both parents and students in evening information sessions. This way, enrollment officers are able to reach families at their homes, while also avoiding the screen fatigue that arises when staff members are expected to host numerous separate events.”

Joyce Lantz

Director of Recruitment and Communications University of Notre Dame

“Conduit has changed the virtual event game! As we are navigating the virtual programming world- Conduit’s webcast platform has been a mainstay for UMKC. We were able to continue our virtual presence throughout the pandemic, but also plan for the future. Conduit will continue to be an accessible option for our students even as we transition back to campus.”

Annie McKenzie

Assistant Director of Special Events UMKC

NC State: For the Experience

Organizing numerous faculty, current students, and staff is a challenge for in-person events and trying to coordinate that many presenters for virtual experiences can be an even greater feat. NC State took full advantage of the strategy consulting from PlatformQ Education’s team to develop a structure that would be easy and engaging for attendees and presenters. […]

This is the Way

One of the largest challenges facing streaming providers is the concept of subscriber churn. Because services like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, et al. allow subscribers to cancel any time, they run the risk of subscribers simply shutting down the service when they’ve finished bingeing their favorite sitcom or sci-fi series.
