REMOTE

Gather is an American start-up that has developed an innovative meeting platform. On this platform, users can move autonomously in virtual locations as avatars and talk to others via video chat. In addition to the dialogue mechanics that many are already familiar with from common video conferencing tools such as Zoom, etc., Gather also offers many other functions that encourage interaction between participants.

The potentials of a digital Gather space are almost limitless. A major part is taken up by virtual events, which can be filled with innovative concepts thanks to the variety of functions offered by Gather. Unusual discussion and workshop formats such as fish bowls or bar camps are usually only used in person – however, thanks to the autonomy in Gather, these agile methods are becoming possible again. Apart from digital events, the virtual locations are also suitable as remote offices, showrooms or interactive online shops. We would be happy to advise you on your options.

For events with linear lectures and no other agenda points such as parallel lectures, networking, etc., the use of Gather is less suitable. In this case, we recommend the use of simpler video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Skype or Microsoft Teams.

Of course we can! We do not only support our customers in the conception and design of their individual spaces, but we are also happy to help with their concept. Whether with fresh ideas for a large event or with recommendations for very unique ways of using the space that offer you and your company added value.

We are always happy to advise you if you want to make sure that your own Gather Space is suitable for your concept and that it functions perfectly from a technical point of view. In a meeting with you, we can take a look at your space and give you our recommendations and tips. Simply contact us by e-mail at remote@ueberwegs.de.

Gather does not store video or audio recordings of conversations that take place on the platform. The transmission takes place via WebRTC. No personal data needs to be provided in order to use the tool. If needed, we are happy to support you in the processing of individual data protection agreements (data processing contracts, security questionaires, etc.).

Official partners of Gather are characterised by a high level of expertise in the use of the tool. überwegs REMOTE qualifies as an official partner in particular through its high design and consulting standards.

As a customer, you particularly benefit from the latest know-how in consulting, direct support with Gather in case of technical problems and a discount on server capacities.

Gather continuously works on optimising their service on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. However, for the time being, you will only have the reliable and full experience on a desktop PC or laptop using the latest version of the Chrome, Edge or Firefox internet browsers.

The costs vary depending on what services you want. A virtual space for one-time use for a limited period of time can be rented for as little as 500 euros net. An individual BRANDspace usually requires a minimum budget of 5,000 euros net. This includes a conception workshop, the screen design of the space, project management and initial placement of the content.

If more than 25 people are in a Gather space, it is necessary to book additional server capacities. This works via Gather tickets, which can be purchased per person either for two hours, one to several days or one to several months. Thanks to the partnership with Gather, customers of überwegs REMOTE receive a discount on the ticket costs, so it is advisable to manage the booking through us as well. This way, you don’t have to take care of the booking with Gather, but only receive an invoice listing all project services including the server capacities.
