Four Key Things Event Producers Need to Do For a Successful Virtual Event

 Virtual events play a significant role in saving hefty expenses incurred during renting event halls. Not only do virtual events save companies on the cost of renting event halls; but they also help organizations reach a larger audience by being more accessible, convenient, and affordable. 


Here are four key things that virtual event producers should do: 


1. Train your speakers

Speakers at your event might not necessarily be comfortable with presenting at virtual events. They may be accustomed to seeing their audience live, feeding off the crowd’s energy, and relying on the in-the-moment feedback that live presentations provide. In a virtual setting, speakers need to utilize different strategies to activate the interest and hold the attention of the attendees. Be a resource for your speakers, and give them the tools they need to succeed. 


2. Rehearse 

A smooth flow of the event with seamless transitions of speakers is the key to a flawless event. The speakers, the staff, and others involved in the event must know the sequence of other speakers and proceedings of the event. Moreover, the speakers and the presenters have to be taught the technical aspects of the platform. For example, where will they see questions coming in from the audience, or how will they know they need to wrap up? 


3. Plan in advance

Virtual events very often mean pre-recording sessions ahead of the actual event, with sessions often presented “as-live.” Understand that this may require extra speaker management on your part: to ensure sessions are recorded by their deadline, are kept to their allotted time, and are prepared to make the best use of the virtual tools for engagement (i.e., chat, polling). Work with your team to assign target dates, and check in regularly to keep on track.


4. Know your audience

The pandemic has made an impact on our lifestyles and the way we learn and absorb information. Some individuals may be better learners at in-person events, while others may have gotten comfortable learning and grasping information behind the screens. These choices have to be well-analyzed by the event organizers to decide for the other events accordingly.
