Event overview

The Fraud Awareness Workshop, held on the 28th of August 2023 at 16:00 CEST, was a pivotal online event hosted by Learnvent. It aimed to educate participants on identifying and preventing fraud, recognizing red flags, and enhancing their overall fraud awareness. The event provided attendees with the unique opportunity to learn from industry experts, uncover hidden risks, and gain practical strategies for safeguarding themselves against financial deception.

Target audience

The workshop catered to a diverse audience, including individuals who had previously fallen victim to scams and sought to enhance their fraud awareness. It also attracted a general audience spanning various age groups and professions, including those active online, users of dating websites, frequent email users, and individuals interested in cryptocurrency and trading activities. The comprehensive nature of the workshop addressed various aspects of fraud relevant to everyday life.

Pre-event marketing

To maximize engagement, the event received extensive promotion through various channels. Learnvent’s marketing campaign included email outreach, targeting both existing and potential customers of T&H Consulting. Simultaneously, the workshop gained significant visibility on social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. While Learnvent was the primary promoter, T&H Consulting also shared select posts to maximize reach. Email marketing campaigns played a pivotal role in driving engagement, closely followed by LinkedIn campaigns.

Logistics

The event was hosted on the Zoom platform, a familiar and user-friendly choice for most attendees. To ensure a seamless experience, participants received detailed instructions in advance. Although a few attendees experienced minor technical issues, such as video lag compared to audio, these problems were resolved promptly. Most participants accessed the event via the desktop browser or desktop app, with some using mobile devices.

Workshop and activities

Each workshop segment was complemented by real-world case examples, allowing participants to grasp the concepts effectively. Attendees were encouraged to ask questions throughout the event, and these questions were addressed comprehensively during the dedicated Q&A session.

Feedback and surveys

Following the event, participants received the workshop recording and a presentation recap to reinforce their understanding.
