Strengthening the Military Community with on-demand content and continuous interaction.
MCON is an important event for anyone connected to the military so in order for the celebration to endure beyond the live show Xcyte Digital has created an immersive online platform to engage whenever, wherever. In today’s digital age, the concept of community has evolved beyond physical borders. For military personnel and their families, this evolution presents unique opportunities to connect, support, and share experiences despite being stationed around the world. Building a military community using an online virtual platform can be a powerful way to foster unity, provide support, and share valuable information. This blog explores the benefits, challenges, and key features that were considered when creating such a community.
