The truth is: 

Events appeal to our primal universal instinct, to gather together to learn, be entertained, celebrate and communicate with each other face to face…it’s in our DNA. While live events will never go out of fashion, many realise that they simply ‘must have’ a virtual event offering.

Those already running virtual events are reaping the undoubted rewards. Audiences too are lovin’ them (when done well!) and will expect to be given the choice to attend your events remotely, now and in the future.      

If events form part of your marketing and financial strategies, then you must move part or all of event programme on line so that you can continue to help, educate, inspire and support your customers or members.    

The fact is:

As with live face to face events, virtual events must be delivered with a very high degree of professionalism: your audience as always, have high expectations. Your virtual event must deliver on all counts.

Creating brilliant virtual event experiences is no easy task. Get it wrong and right before your very eyes you can see your audience with one key stroke… ‘leave the meeting’, with the resultant financially and reputational damage.        

While you may already know how to run a great live event, on line events cannot be planned and delivered in the same way as their off line counterparts. There are some very significant differences you need to know about if, you want to confidently and consistently deliver high quality and engaging virtual live events…that your audiences will love and want to talk about.

Virtual events provide opportunities for organisations to generate leads, build and reach much bigger and more diverse audiences, add another revenue stream, reduce costs and really tick that sustainability box. Most of us realise that virtual events and in time hybrid events (live+ virtual) are here to stay. Your competitors probably know this too.
