Regional Event Strategy & Time-Zone Coordination (For Admins & Hosts)

1. Why Regional Strategy Matters

ThriveGather is built on a 7-region model:

  • NA – North America
  • EU – Europe
  • AF – Africa
  • ASIA – Asia
  • CARIB – Caribbean
  • LATAM – Latin America
  • OCEANIA – Australia & Pacific

Each workspace includes 7 Regional Auditoriums (602 seats each) and 43 breakout clusters, making regional timing essential to:

  • Maximize attendance by local time zone.
  • Host multilingual sessions when needed.
  • Scale global campaigns without overloading one region.

  • Best for: culture, art expos, and education masterclasses.

3. Time-Zone Coordination for Global Events

  • Follow-the-Sun Scheduling: Run the same event multiple times in different auditoriums across 24 hours.
  • Simultaneous Multiregion Events: Use all 7 auditoriums at once for global launches.
  • Replay Strategy: Record one keynote and rebroadcast in other regions’ prime time.

4. Capacity & Seat Management

  • Regional Auditoriums: 602 seats each.
  • Breakouts: 3–120 seats depending on format.
  • Strategy: cap free Public clusters to push upgrades into Member, VIP, or Sponsored tiers.

5. Language & Localization

  • Hosts can assign interpreters/moderators.
  • Regional branding (logos, CTAs, colors) can be swapped per auditorium.
  • Sponsors can run region-specific booths with tailored messaging.

6. Example Use Cases

  • NA Beauty Summit → Full 602-seat auditorium, breakout masterclasses.
  • EU Art Expo → Regional showcase + sponsored gallery stage.
  • LATAM Culture Festival → Public celebration stage + Pro member classrooms.
  • Global Web3 Token Launch → Simultaneous 7-auditorium event.

7. Best Practices for Admins & Hosts

  • Plan at least 6 weeks in advance for multi-region events.
  • Always consider local holidays and cultural events.
  • Use subdomains (e.g., art.crownthrive.com/eu) for clear targeting.
  • Record and rebroadcast sessions to maximize global reach.
  • Maintain regional sponsor rotation to balance brand exposure.

8. ThriveGather Advantage

The 7-region + subdomain structure ensures:

  • Fair global representation.
