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.

domain experience to help clients understand and deploy digital

digital twin software, to the new Virtual Events Space, Jacobs is
