Ahoy! We’re currently implementing the website for a virtual event. The site is based on WordPress with a custom theme, so integration of JavaScript components is possible. I’m checking solutions for chat and voice communication among the participants. Right now we’re considering CometChat. User number will be in the low 100 people range, so realistically the costs (we have two events per year, so it might make sense to just use one month of the service each time) should be rather low as well. Cheers and greetings from Vienna, Wolf-Dieter
