Over the past few years, virtual events have been a game-changer in the corporate ecosystem and especially during and post-pandemic which saw a huge surge in technology adoption. 

Organizations are taking advantage of the convenience and accessibility enabled by virtual opportunities, breaking free from the confines of physical spaces. In addition to the move towards remote work, virtual events are a way for businesses to continue engaging their audience, clients and employees. 

What began as a short-term fix to human challenge events are now woven into the fabric of how contemporary businesses do business, work together and participate in global markets.

#1. Global reach

One of the biggest benefits of virtual events is its global reach. The things that are not possible from a travel logistics perspective can now be facilitated, companies may hold global conferences with people attending them from different parts of the world. 

That umbrella welcomes a wider and more varied audience, creating broader viewpoints and conversations. A virtual event that might have only had a few hundred people attend when it was in person now has the potential to draw thousands and more.

#2. Cost-efficiency and sustainability

Another important factor is cost efficiency. Whether they are entry or exit trade … in a classic conference our hosting costs include hard goods like venue rentals, catering and travel expenses for speakers/attendees. 

Virtual events cut out a lot of these expenses which allows companies to be more strategic with how they spend their money. In particular, small businesses have enjoyed the ride here due to not having to spend so much in physical venues and are able to host/participate in events.

It also involved environmental sustainability. This means fewer people traveling for conferences as well, which has a significant impact on global environmental goals to reduce carbon footprints. Thus, these virtual meetings contribute to the sustainable business process considering the elevated need for eco-friendly approaches.

#3. Engagement and Inter-activity

The use of virtual platforms meant that better engagement and interactivity could be achieved. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, event organizers can implement live polls as well as Q&A sessions and breakout rooms for a more tailor-made interaction with visitors. 

Participant engagement has been amplified with virtual networking lounges, real-time feedback and social media integration. It provides a rapid switch between sessions if an attendee wants to quickly learn something else.

And hence is the fact that you can record and reuse content. With a traditional event, when one session closes it ends. However, with online events recordings can be saved and republished for others to view down the line expanding both the reach of content as well extending its life. It is a great feature for those who were not able to make the live event.

The Rise of Virtual Events and Conferences: Best Practices for Organizing Virtual Events

The virtual event takes care of every detailed factor, as the success lies in planning and performing. These are the top best practices to ensure a delightful experience:

#1. Select the appropriate platform

Different platforms provide different functionalities, so you have to choose one that also satisfies your event objectives. 

Between Zoom, Microsoft Teams and more specialized platforms such as Airmeet, there are a variety of tools that can be tailored to specific custom-made events with features like live streaming, breakout rooms or interactive shapes at your service.

#2. Put engagement first

It is difficult to keep people engaged in an online format. Organize interactive features such as Live polls, Chat Functionality, and Q&A Sessions.

Promote engagement through virtual networking sessions and social lounges where attendees can chat, similar to how they would do in person.

#3. Practicability: test all technology

Second only perhaps to the content, technical issues have ended more virtual events than anything else.
Test all equipment and platforms like sound, video, and internet connections. Rehearsals with your presenters & moderators more practice means fewer surprises on the day.

#4. Give Value

Ensure the presentations are brief and to the point but emphasizing on Display graphics with high graphical elements applicable for your flow of movement. 

Because of this, the attention spans for the virtual attendees are much shorter and therefore it is better to have sessions that are interactive point-to-point.

#5. Develop On-Demand Viewing

Recording sessions and other content so that people can watch them when they have the time is a method of making your event more widely accessible.

This gives attendees the chance to go back through and watch whenever they like, so you catch people who can’t attend live as well.

#6. Promote Before and After

The way you advertise your virtual event will directly affect the success of it or not. 

Use email marketing, social media even partnerships to announce in advance. Just as crucial are post-event follow-ups like releasing recorded sessions and highlights from the event to ensure that you do not lose your audience once the proceedings have come to an end.

#7. Customize the Experience: Let your virtual event fit various attendee types

Deliver programmatically customizable schedules, offer content tracks and to create breakouts for specific interests. Enable participants to interact with the event in their own time for better immersion.
