My EHI ALoha is a digital platform promoting community engagement and collaboration in Hawaii. With a growing online audience, the platform hosts virtual events, educational programs, and community gatherings to foster user interaction.

One of the key challenges faced by My EHI Aloha was how to effectively manage thousands of participants in one chat room for their Healing for the A.G.E.S virtual event. They needed a robust and scalable group chat solution to ensure seamless communication and user engagement. In 2024, they turned to RumbleTalk group chat to help manage their increasing number of participants.

The platform needed a solution that could handle thousands of attendees interacting at the same time without compromising the quality of the conversation or the user experience. RumbleTalk’s group chat solution provided a highly scalable and user-friendly option for My EHI Aloha to meet its growing demand.

The Challenge

As My EHI Aloha gained traction internationally, they began hosting larger virtual events, often seeing thousands of users participate simultaneously. The increase in attendees created several challenges for the platform:

• Overwhelming chat volume: Handling thousands of messages from participants all at once made it difficult for event organizers to manage the conversation and keep discussions on track.
• Need for real-time communication: Events required immediate feedback, Q&A sessions, and live discussions to keep participants engaged.
• Security and moderation: With a large number of participants, it became essential to moderate conversations to ensure they remained respectful and productive.
• User overload: As the number of participants grew, the chat platform they initially used struggled to keep up. This leads to lagging, crashes, and frustrated users.

The Solution

To address these challenges, My EHI Aloha integrated RumbleTalk, a secure and scalable group chat solution designed for large virtual events and online communities. The features of RumbleTalk proved to be an ideal solution for managing thousands of participants in real-time.

The conference featured technical papers, presentations, workshops, tutorials, and an exhibition of the latest hardware, software, and creative services in computer graphics.

The theme of SIGGRAPH 2023 is “The Age of SIGGRAPH”. This theme reflects the conference’s 50 years of history and its commitment to innovation in computer graphics and interactive techniques. SIGGRAPH 2023 will explore the past, present, and future of computer graphics, and it will challenge attendees to imagine and invent the bold and bright future of the field.

Here are some of the highlights of SIGGRAPH 2023:

• Virtual Access: SIGGRAPH 2023 offers Virtual Access and Virtual Access Supporter registrations for those unable to attend in person. Virtual Access registrants will have access to a selection of livestreamed and recorded content.

The Challenge: Virtual communication for participants

SIGGRAPH 2023 also offered Virtual Access and Virtual Access Supporter registrations for those unable to attend in person. Virtual Access registrants had access to a selection of live streamed and recorded content.

Even if they had virtual access through live streaming, they wanted participants to have another outlet for communication. Therefore, they were looking to find an event chat room that could accompany their live stream.

The Solution: How SIGGRAPH 2023 engaged its audience with a live stream and event chat

This is where RumbleTalk came in. In addition to the presenters talking with the audience through a live stream, they also had 150 chat rooms where they could speak with other participants.

RumbleTalk was designed to fit the theme of the event website. Then, participants can come and go if they want to chat with other attendees.

The chat rooms were not monitored by the presenter and were not used for Q&As. However, its main purpose was to let the participants interact with other like-minded individuals. Since they could not directly speak with the presenter or moderator, this made it easy to communicate with participants who wanted to talk about the topics being discussed.

The Results: Around thousands of participants attended the event and stayed to chat

RumbleTalk Chat played a vital role in the success of SIGGRAPH 2023. It enabled attendees to participate in dynamic and fruitful discussions, mirroring the interactions found at in-person conferences. The platform seamlessly facilitated connections with thousands of participants, transcending geographical boundaries.

Moreover, the organizers of the summit saw the effect of 150 chat rooms, guaranteeing that the conversations maintained a respectful and professional tone, aligning with the event’s high standards.

Experience the convenience of virtual attendance from the comfort of your own home

RumbleTalk Chat emerged as a valuable asset during SIGGRAPH 2023, ensuring a seamless and captivating online event for all participants. Its intuitive interface and real-time communication capabilities enabled attendees to connect and partake in enriching discussions, replicating the engagement of an in-person conference.

The Challenge: A chat room that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of online users flawlessly

Along with the big comeback after the pandemic, the organizers of the CES Tech 2023 event have decided to integrate a live chat feature alongside the online live stream in order to reach a wider audience globally.

The chat room needs to facilitate online communication and engagement between attendees, exhibitors, and speakers – that’s around 180,000 online attendees actively participating in the live chat simultaneously.

From a developer’s perspective, the ability to accommodate a large number of chat users is contingent on the infrastructure and technology employed to host the chat room.

Factors such as server capacity, bandwidth, and network infrastructure are crucial in determining whether or not the chat room can handle a high number of users without experiencing lag. Additionally, the volume and frequency of messages being sent also play a role in the chat room’s performance.

The Solution: Using RumbleTalk Chat to accommodate thousands of live chatters while seamlessly blending into the event live stream

The event organizers chose to use RumbleTalk Chat for its comprehensive set of features, including the ability to create multiple chat rooms, send multimedia files, and hold one-on-one private chats and video calls.

Here’s a rundown of how RumbleTalk Chat was utilized during the live event:

4 Group Chats for 4 Channels

The CES 2023 has four digital channels, all featuring the use of the RumbleTalk Social Chat room embedded into the Intrado event platform. This allowed online viewers to engage in group discussions while watching the show live.

The event organizers also used the chat function to send live polls, keeping the virtual audience engaged and interactive throughout the event. Additionally, they provided multimedia files such as brochures and demo videos for the audience to access.

Thousands of Private Chats for Exhibitors

CES used 3,200+ RumbleTalk Private Chats, one for each of their exhibitors. These Private Chats provided a space for one-on-one conversations between exhibitors and potential clients or business partners.

The private chat rooms also allowed exhibitors to handle inquiries and confidential proposals and make the interaction more personal through the use of video or audio calls.

Live Polls for the virtual audience

One of the standout moments of the event was the keynote speech by a prominent tech industry leader. The speaker used the live polls feature in the chat to gather real-time feedback from the audience and answer questions in a Q&A session.

This interactive aspect of the speech helped to engage the audience and foster a sense of community among attendees.

Customized design with a powerful chat capacity

The chat rooms used CSS customization to seamlessly blend the design with the layout of the event. Making it sit perfectly beside the live stream without being a huge distraction to the viewers.

Along with the look, we also took care of functionality and performance. RumbleTalk chats are designed to handle large volumes of messages and video calls simultaneously – in this case, hundreds of thousands of chat users, allowing for smooth and efficient operation of both the group and private chats.

Facilitating thousands of chat users through RumbleTalk CES Tech 2023

The show attracted a substantial online audience with hundreds of thousands of online visitors.

With the use of the RumbleTalk Chat platform during the event, organizers reported a marked increase in engagement and interaction among attendees and received positive feedback from exhibitors and speakers.
