What are Virtual Events?

The emergence of virtual events rose after the pandemic when people started looking for alternative solutions other than physical interaction. And despite that life got back to normal, virtual events continued to prosper. 

In fact, virtual and physical events share a lot and can lead to the same results. Just like any normal event, virtual events create a space for people to meet and share ideas. Depending on the theme and purpose of the event; they educate, entertain, inform, and showcase. The only main difference is that virtual events are online.

The word virtual can get misunderstood. Some might believe it means using virtual reality. It actually means using any alternative online tool to create a similar experience to a real event. 

Many people prefer virtual events to physical events for their accessibility. They also provide a wonderful experience at a low cost for both the hosts -since they don’t require special equipment-, and for the guests.

How to make your virtual event successful

Start with defining the technology you’ll use, such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. 

Check the sound and camera if you’ll be speaking or broadcasting yourself. 

If you’re presenting, always try to make your presentations fun and engaging by adding things such as gamification. 

Define the features for your guests, such as holograms or augmented reality. 

Include breakout sessions, speakers, presentations, and networking and interaction spaces. 

Structure what your event will look like, and how will you advertise for it in advance.
