Webinars: gofod3

Date: 20 -24 June 2022
Location: Microsoft Teams 

Pugh are delighted to be continuing our sponsorship of the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) annual conference gofod3.

Established in 2017 as an annual one-day event in Cardiff, gofod3 has developed into Wales’s biggest voluntary sector event. With the recent Covid restrictions, the conference now takes place online over a five-day period.

Whether you’re a trustee, staff member, volunteer or all three, this is your unique space to reflect, learn and plan for the future.

With over 60 FREE events on offer, including an exciting and busy schedule of speakers, masterclasses, panel debates and workshops, there really is something for everyone.

We are delighted to be hosting two sessions at this year’s gofod3.

Session 1: How to build a Sustainable Modern Hybrid Meeting Space

Mon 20 Jun 2022, 2:00pm

Whether it’s a small huddle space, a home office, a large meeting room or even a shared community hall, a sustainable modern hybrid meeting space connects and engages communities across the country and even the world.

Join us to discover how you can use Microsoft Teams and the latest, innovative Teams-certified devices to help build your own sustainable modern hybrid meeting space.

We will also feature a case study by Rhodri Jones, Head of Digital Services at WCVA, to show first-hand the positive impact that sustainable modern hybrid meeting spaces has had for the WCVA. Rhodri will discuss how WCVA has embraced hybrid working and how this has affected the layout of their new office environment.

Session 2: How to run Hybrid Meetings, AGMs & Events

Thu 23 Jun 2022, 10:00am

If you’re finding that obstacles such as time, availability, costs and location are proving challenging when organising face-to-face meetings, AGMs and other events, a hybrid approach can help you overcome all of this without sacrificing the quality of the experience and its outcomes.

Join us as we showcase the very latest tools and features that will enable you to maximise productivity within your Microsoft Teams or Zoom hybrid meetings, AGMs and events.

We will also feature a case study by Carwen Wynne Howells, giving you a real-world account of how meetings, AGMs and other events can be run successfully using a hybrid setup.

Carwen has a wide range of experience at Board level, particularly with third sector organisations. She is currently a Trustee of the Haven Wolverhampton, one of the UK’s leading charities dealing with the consequences of Domestic Abuse, and a Director of Number 63 (Soroptimist) Limited and Number 63 Hotel Limited.

In her capacity as a Board Administrator, she has had to manage the transition from the traditional ‘face to face’ General Meeting format to electronic and hybrid formats. By her own admission, she says that ‘it hasn’t all been plain sailing’ and will share some of her invaluable ‘lessons learnt’.
