WHY PRODUCE VIRTUAL EVENTS?
Virtual events have a major advantage over in-person events
Virtual events have a significant advantage over in-person events when it comes to reach: Anyone, from anywhere, can join a virtual event. No travel required.
Invite anyone, from anywhere
Many organizations have found that moving in-person events online has often doubled or tripled attendance while also attracting attendees from different parts of the country or from abroad (who would not have otherwise traveled).
Provide a seat for everyone
Doubling a venue size from 100 to 250, or from 250 to 500 can be difficult and expensive. That doesn’t hold true of virtual events. Most platforms can scale to accommodate dozens or hundreds more attendees at an incremental cost. Conversely, scaling an in-person event can mean doubling the size of a venue, providing more catering and swag, and possibly turning away would-be attendees because the venue has reached capacity.
Run events more often
Companies can often attract attendees for online events more easily than they can for in-person events. Why? From the audience’s perspective, attendees may not want to regularly travel to a company’s various conferences and seminars. However, they may join for some sessions of different online events because they can join from their desk. From the company’s perspective, virtual events often take less work to arrange than in-person ones and so online events can occur more frequently.
Virtual events work very well for a number of use cases
Virtual Conferences | Virtual Summits | Virtual Town Halls | Virtual Galas | Virtual Ceremonies | Virtual Awards | And More
There are many event types that can run a half day or longer. Organizations have found success with all of them. The key is to conceive and design a compelling event and to then deliver on that vision.
We support our clients throughout this process. This includes crafting the event timeline, scripting the transitions between and during content sessions, adding production elements, designing the room, and much more.
