- 3000 people on site at the exact same time
- Between 90 and 100 students watched every alumni presentation
- Average time on the website was 20 minutes
- Around 250 chats took place
Here is a message from the organisers –
“Thanks to all of you for taking part in our first virtual careers fair. Whilst we did encounter some technical issues, unfortunately due to the amount of traffic on the site, it was after all our first attempt and we can only improve in the future. Our borough-wide project sponsored by the Mayor of London funding was a huge success as you can see from the statistics below. The highlights were certainly the exhibition booths that looked fantastic and the theatre that showcased our amazing presentations.”
