-After the outbreak of COVID-19, the first online ‘Live Field Trip’ was introduced, with more than 3,000 participants in 10 months.
-Due to social distancing, demand for ‘live field trips’ that enable remote participation and real-time communication is increasing.
-You can apply by email (visit@ahnlab.com) by stating the desired date of the field trip and the number of people participating in the field trip.
-AhnLab plans to share online live field trip know-how with companies and institutions to promote online field trips.
Due to the aftermath of ‘Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19 (hereinafter referred to as COVID-19)’, the method of corporate tours that used to be on-site visits is expected to gradually change to online live tours.
AhnLab (CEO Seok-gyun Kang) announced that the number of participants in last year’s online ‘Live Field Trip’ program exceeded 3,300 in 10 months. This figure (March-December 2020 / 3,300 people) is more than three times the total number of visitors (1,016 people) in 2019, before the outbreak of COVID-19.
AhnLab’s ‘Live Tour’ is a non-face-to-face company tour program that can be participated from anywhere using a PC or smartphone connected to the Internet. Tours are possible as long as you can connect to the network, so there are no restrictions on location, and a much larger number of people than visiting tourers can participate in the tour simultaneously (480 participants in June 2020).
Participants in the ‘Live Field Trip’ can participate in the field trip by accessing the URL from a device with an Internet connection at home or school. It is characterized by the fact that participants can communicate two-way through real-time chat with the tour host while participating in the live field trip (watching the field trip).
Unlike existing online tours that provide pre-recorded videos on a company website, online ‘live tours’ are not much different from actual on-site tours. As with the on-site tour, the tour facilitator provides real-time company introduction, IT/security job introduction, essential security information delivery, job mentoring, and office building tour. In particular, ‘job mentoring’, which is conducted through talent donation from employees in various fields such as malware analysis, security product development, and security control, is very popular as participants can ask questions and receive answers on the spot about their areas of interest. In addition, during the office building tour, the tour host carries a smartphone and conveys the work space, lounge facilities, product and historical exhibition halls, etc. from a first-person perspective.
AhnLab quickly converted its existing field trip program to online after the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020. We have met the demand for corporate tours by reducing the number of offline field trips that were previously conducted and simultaneously operating a ‘Live Tour’ program.
Lim Gyu-yeon, a student from Hyosung High School who participated in AhnLab’s online ‘Live Tour’, said, “Even though it was conducted non-face-to-face, it was very interesting and beneficial as I was able to tour AhnLab in detail through rich explanations, mentoring from incumbents, and a tour of the company building.”
AhnLab expects the demand for online ‘Live’ tours to increase in the future as they can be conducted non-face-to-face to prevent the risk of COVID-19 infection, can accommodate large numbers of people online, and can participate from a distance. there is.
Groups of 10 to 500 people who wish to participate in the ‘Live Field Trip’ can apply by email ( visit@ahnlab.com) with the desired date and number of people.
“AhnLab is the first in Korea to operate an interactive online ‘Live Field Trip’ program and is producing the basic online field trip knowledge and know-how it has accumulated into PDF and YouTube videos in order to realize social value,” said Inchi-beom Inch, Executive Director of AhnLab’s Communication Department. “We plan to share it with companies and institutions free of charge,” he said. “By sharing AhnLab’s operational know-how, we hope to be able to obtain and experience vivid information like an actual field trip even in a non-face-to-face environment.”
