What is a Virtual Event?

A virtual event is any type of public gathering or conference that takes place online, typically hosted on platforms like Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams. They can range from lectures or webinars to full-blown conferences with multiple speakers and breakout sessions. Virtual events are becoming increasingly popular due to their accessibility, affordability, and convenience — no travel required!

How Do I Prepare for a Virtual Event?

Before you begin hosting or attending a virtual event, it’s important to make sure your hardware and software is up-to-date with the most recent version. Additionally, ensure that you have tested out your microphone, camera, and web connection ahead of time. Lastly, consider having an alternative plan if the internet connection fails during the event – this could involve switching over to a mobile hotspot or using another application like Skype.

What Equipment Will I Need to Host/Attend a Virtual Event?

Depending on the type of event, you may need some basic hardware and software to attend or host a virtual event. To attend an event, all that is usually required is a computer or mobile device with a reliable internet connection and up-to-date audio and video applications. To host an event, you will likely need more reliable equipment like a headset and external webcam, as well as any software used to run the event such as livestreaming or webinar applications.

Can I still connect with Audience Members at a VR Event?

Absolutely! Many virtual events offer interactive features like live chat and Q&A so, you can interact with attendees in real time. You can also use your event registration software to create polls or surveys to get real-time feedback from your audience. Creating a sense of intimacy and connection is absolutely possible at virtual events!

How Do I Monitor Attendee Engagement During a VR Event?

To monitor attendee engagement for a virtual event, you will want to track attendance, monitor how long your attendees are engaging with the event’s content and make sure that everyone is accessing the materials as intended. Fortunately, many modern virtual event platforms provide analytics and tracking features so, you can easily see which sessions draw the most attention, which content is consumed most frequently, and who attended what parts of the conference.
