Configit, a global leader in complex product configuration, partnered with Virtual Hive to transform its annual Configuration Lifecycle Management Summit into a fully virtual experience. The goal was to create a scalable, branded platform where experts, analysts, and manufacturers of complex products could meet, learn, and exchange knowledge—without the constraints of physical events.

Virtual Hive brought this vision to life with a bespoke digital environment designed to match Configit’s professional identity. The event featured a branded welcome area, keynote stage, and multiple breakout rooms for targeted sessions—each curated to deepen industry understanding. A dynamic networking lounge added a layer of interactivity, encouraging attendees to connect in real time, discuss shared challenges, and build new partnerships.

A key advantage of going virtual was broader participation. Online attendance exceeded 60%, and the format made it easier for more people from each company to join—extending reach and inclusivity across organisations. Notably, the event welcomed many first-time attendees, adding fresh voices and new perspectives to the conversation.

The summit wasn’t just well-attended—it was engaging. Configit recorded strong interaction levels across sessions, from live Q&As to collaborative discussions in breakout rooms. With built-in analytics, the team could track user behaviour in real time, capturing key metrics like time spent in sessions, popular content topics, and participation in interactive features—offering a clear picture of what resonated most.

The result? A high-impact virtual summit that amplified Configit’s role as an industry leader, strengthened peer-to-peer engagement, and proved that with the right digital setup, virtual events can be both meaningful and memorable.
