    Webinars

    Hybrid Event

    Virtual Conferences

    Video conferencing tool is dedicated to connecting two or more points across the internet for two-way conferencing face-to-face, and in real-time, over distance. It usually caters for a relatively small group of people for private meetings. Thanks to virtual event software today, many come with the recording capabilities.

    Anywhere & Anytime

    Business partners and employees can now go completely online by just tuning in from anywhere in the world — saving time, saving energy. 

    A virtual conference, which is naturally more engaging than phone meetings, has become a typical practice in many modern businesses. If you’ve ever used virtual event software, you should be able to share your screen, documents, whiteboard, and videos.

    Improved productivity

    Not only does it offer you an efficient way of delivering presentations, but it also results in greater productivity and engagement than what you would typically achieve from phone meetings. This is because everyone in the virtual conference has the same freedoms to speak up and contribute in addition to passively listening in.

    Share ideas

    Well, the dark side of this event type is that a virtual conference is not good for growing an audience. As a result, it is best suited for business meetings when the purpose is to debate and share ideas in a private group, such as business partner meetings, internal work meetings, and meetings with clients.

    Virtual Summits

    Virtual summits are online multi-speakers events in which several experts in a certain field are brought together to address a specific topic. A host will interview them and this online event can be launched over the course of a series of days for a large audience.

    Virtual summits are the next level from webinars. Aside from the event duration, they differ in the tool used. Virtual summits require a registration tool. They are private events attendees sign up for, whereby attendees’ profile data, and sometimes payment, is collected.

    Secure Event Payment

    To put confidence in your attendees for this process, the data and payment collection method pops up to be a good question. It is necessary for you to ensure that sensitive data like email addresses and credit card information is protected. You ought to research and make an educated decision on which virtual event software and platform that is the most ideal to host your summit.

    Dedicated access for participants

    Pro tip! You can use virtual event software to gather email addresses and payments and then execute the summit session in a closed virtual event platform, whether live or recorded. In order to participate and see the summit content, every participant that subscribed to the event gets a unique password through email or message. This unique password cannot be shared with anyone and can only be logged in with one account.

    Why is Hosting a Virtual Event a Better Option Now?

    Virtual events are nothing new as they’ve been happening since nearly 30 years ago. Thanks to affordable technologies and virtual event software, literally anyone can hold an online gathering, regardless of budget or expertise.

    1. In Efforts To Break The Chain of Transmission

    Due to the pandemic, the world is pivoting to virtual more and more. Seeing the number of Covid cases rising day by day, we know that it’s a rough time to be planning and holding a large-scale physical event. 

    Many pre-planned physical conferences or campaigns are either postponed or forced to call a halt in order to help combat the novel coronavirus. Hence, virtual events are a great alternative to physical events.

    2. Wider Outreach, More Participation

    As human movement is being restricted to flatten the curve, making people travel to a physical event venue is difficult, considering the trouble and quarantine fees that may incur. It is also near to impossible for people to come out from the red zones to attend your event in person according to the community isolation measures. 

    Consequently, in-person events are now temporarily sidelined. The good news is, people of the pandemic times feel more of a drive than ever to meet, be social, learn, and connect with one another. That’s where virtual events step in with a virtual platform for them to socialise virtually. 

    In addition to that, virtual conferences can help significantly in building brand awareness, extending networking opportunities, increasing lead generation, and more.

    3. Lower Marketing & Operating Cost

    When everything goes digital, promoting your event or partners’ brands prior to the actual day becomes so much easier and more cost-effective. You no longer have to spend on the printing costs for flyers, buntings, banners and booklets. You will be able to leverage Google tools in learning about the ROI of ads, and hence, deciding how to spend on SEO, SEM and SMM. 

    Besides, travel costs that could have prevented key speakers, talents and VIPs from being able to attend a live event are no longer an issue. Not to mention the expenses on venue, accommodation, transport, logistics, F&B and so on, which in return allows you to invest more on a superb virtual event software in curating the best virtual event possible.

    4. Complete & Valuable Data For Your Next Move

    Best of all, you get to learn about your event as well as the attendees’ behaviour with a comprehensive virtual event software. The secured and encrypted database management gives you valuable data from the stage of planning to hosting a virtual event. 

    You may also keep track who is tuning in online, which session has the most questions, who is the most engaged and who is not during the session. This set of data, when used in good hands, can give you the means to make your next event better. It can also be music to sponsors’ ears, helping you to secure the best ones for the upcoming online event. 

    All in all, it sums up to the three main types of data that would be beneficial to how you grow your business next. 

    • Event data (Date, time, cost, etc. )
    • Profile data (Attendees’ demography, contact, email, etc.)
    • Engagement data (Session attendance, sponsor, feedback, etc.)

    The Virtual Event Planning Checklist

    Pre- Event

    • Understand your event purpose.
    • Objectify a goal.
    • Plan before building content.
    • Prioritize your virtual technology needs.

    During the event

    • Understand your event purpose.
    • Objectify a goal.
    • Plan before building content.
    • Prioritize your virtual technology needs.

    Post-event

    • Send feedback survey forms.
    • Analyse all the procured data.
    • Discuss the results with key stakeholders.
    • Plan for the next virtual event.

    Before The Virtual Event

    • Set out your event goal and purpose

    Knowing what you want to achieve is vital in formulating event strategies. Every event requires a clear focus to proceed, so does a virtual event. Do you wish to expand brand awareness? Foster connection? Generate leads? Engage with attendees? Build up a community?

    • Create a virtual event budget

    While an in-person event budget is mainly about event logistics (such as venue, travel, F&B, accommodation, to name a few), a virtual event budget focuses more on technology, software and other tools relating to creating an immersive virtual experience for attendees. Basically, the ratio of expenditure for both in-person and virtual events are flipped.

    • Develop content strategy

    What will your attendees be doing in your event? How can you convey your message to your attendees? What is the best activity in keeping your attendees focused throughout? Carefully consider what you want your audience to take away and delicately draft the content. Always keep the sessions short but informative as people’s span of attention is limited. Integrating interesting games or pop quizzes is also a great idea to keep your attendees engaged, along with panel discussions and videos.

    • Learn your virtual technology needs

    Your event format will determine what types of equipment you need. Though all virtual events require mics, cameras, green screens and lights, certain virtual formats require more professional equipment. For example, a virtual conference may call for a platform that is able to divide attendees into groups for discussions.

    • Market your event

    Once you have the full plan out, start developing your promotion plan. Design an event microsite and/or event app, set up registration forms and decide which ads to opt for, be it the paid promotion, organic promotion, or both.

    • Get sponsors and collaborators

    Find credible organisations to sponsor or collaborate with to attract their fans into joining your virtual events while getting financial support from them. It will be incredibly impactful which consequently helps you to reposition your brand in the minds of your target audience.

    During The Virtual Event

    • Engage your attendees

    Other than interesting topics and creative presentations, you may utilise the platform’s features such as live chat, polls and games to keep your attendees engaged.

    • Collect and track attendee data

    Using Evenesis’ virtual event system, you can view attendees’ demographic profiles, the engagement data, their preferences, and so on. This piece of information is valuable to product and service improvement and for securing future sponsors.

    • Facilitate discussions and networking sessions

    It’s best to have a moderator assigned to each group to facilitate discussion during group activities. You may also leverage this opportunity to connect with the attendees, sponsors and speakers.

    After The Virtual Event

    • Distribute feedback survey

    Other than reading the data collected, soliciting feedback from the attendees helps you to measure event success. It can even be a testimonial for your brand. Ask more open-ended questions to find out their feelings and suggestions for the future event.

    • Analyse all the procured data

    Spreading your excel files and studying the information behind those data will help you understand your attendees better and potentially redefine your target audience.

    • Discover best practices and opportunities for improvement

    Present the results to key stakeholders and discuss possible improvements to be made. Reflect on what was lacking and get it right on the next virtual event.

    How Do You Plan A Virtual Event?

    While the aforementioned are the basic steps to pull off a virtual event, you may wonder what the hidden tips are to make your virtual event stand out.

    Sales & Ticketing

    • Set up ticket tiers (if any)
    • Incorporate a ticket distributing system
    • Integrate online payment methods

    Logistics

    • Double check to ensure all techs and tools are working
    • Perform the last check on the virtual event platform before the actual event
    • Troubleshoot technical difficulties during the event (mics, cameras, etc.)

    Post-event Management Engagement: Follow Up Communication

    • Express gratitude to attendees
    • Offer event highlights to those who didn’t make it
    • Excite them with the next event

    What is a virtual event platform?

    A virtual event platform is a gateway to seamlessly organise events virtually. It transports a live event in the virtual space or hosts a live event digitally with help from supportive technology that ensures that the event experience is nothing less than a live event.

    Why host a virtual conference?

    The goal of any conference is spreading and sharing knowledge and whether that is done in-person or virtually is immaterial. The most significant reason for hosting a virtual conference is to meet like-minded people and industry peers. A virtual conference has a wider coverage where people from all over the globe congregate to share common disciplines in the same field.

    A virtual conference is the best way in which they find the opportunity to exchange their knowledge. These could be techniques on the new type of equipment, some unpublished data that uses the conference platform to reveal its research and finding, an introduction with leaders who share their vast experience with the audience. A virtual conference offers ready feedbacks on your paper and presentation. You may get some insights that will help you find a different perspective on your research.

    In-person conferences allow more approachability but the same can be achieved to a large extent in virtual conferences too.

    This is a great platform that allows you to learn beyond your periphery of knowledge. Helping you to professionally develop it aids in advancement in your career. Enhancing both professional and personal development, virtual conferences can be recorded and watched later to gain tangible expertise on a topic.

    How long should a virtual event last?

    There is no definite answer because it is dependent on the types of virtual events you host and the quality of experience you can deliver. However, many studies have suggested the 20-minute rule of audience attention span.

    Is venue important in hosting virtual events?

    Lighting

    Background Noise

    Internet Bandwidth (to ensure smooth video stream)

    What is a Virtual Event?

    A virtual event, or more commonly known as an online event, is an organised gathering that takes place over the internet. Virtual events, which do not require participants to gather and meet in a real location, allow people from all over the world to experience the event and its content online while remaining where they are.

    Well, we are no strangers to virtual events in today’s COVID-affected society. People have been staying at home or working from home since the government imposed stay-at-home and work-from-home orders.

    With virtual events being a niche component of the event industry, many people and corporate entities have gradually shifted their businesses to the online platform for more exposure. Check out this collection of resources to help you make the most of online or virtual events for your business.

    Live Streaming

    Live streaming, which is widely utilised to reach a large number of people, is one-way delivery but a two-way discussion. Live streaming, also known as the must-have marketing technique for 2021 & onwards, may be used to perform online seminars, online concerts, online chat shows, virtual keynotes, and live consultations, either publicly or privately.

    Connect with brands

    Ranging from easy to hold (lower quality) to hard to hold (TV broadcast quality), it depends on how professional and formal you would wish to present yourself. It has a flexible nature for you to do however you want. Through live events on social media channels, the public can connect with brands in a more authentic, instant, and spontaneous manner. 

    Reach broader audience

    Many companies and corporations have ventured into live streaming in order to show the public what goes on behind the scenes or to make unique product announcements or debuts. This sort of virtual event has the potential to significantly increase an event’s viewership, allowing it to reach audiences on a previously unheard-of scale.

    Replicate & Save Time

    Furthermore, you may capture and reuse the live streaming session for other purposes. Some live streaming platforms allow replays to be available immediately on social platforms. This feature is extremely great for connecting with customers, growing a new audience or even conducting interviews.

    Webinars

    Specially curated for private training in a one-to-many delivery style, webinars are somewhat online seminars that attendees listen to and/or watch on the internet via computer or phone. It typically takes place for 1 to 2 hours to teach the attendees something. 

    Presentations

    Often used for marketing presentations and educational sessions, these events are perfect for larger groups. Though the attendees are not allowed to speak during the session, they are able to speak up or ask questions in the chat feature.

    Q&A Sessions

    This controlled Q&A tool can help greatly in giving the host more control and assigning roles to event helpers in answering questions not addressed by the host. With that said, a teaching session can be conducted in a focused environment with no distractions.

    Save Cost

    The benefits of conducting webinars include how rapidly your email list can expand and how your event can provide targeted value. It is also user-friendly since anyone interested in attending the webinar can do so by clicking on the URL provided. Not to mention the money you’ll save by not having to pay your presenter’s airfare and lodging expenses.

    Let Pros to Handle

    However, body language and non-verbal cues may be missing as the presenter is using slides in most cases. You may lose your audience if you have problems such as PowerPoint crashing.

    While some see virtual events as the replica of physical location-based events, we couldn’t highlight more about the additional skills necessary in creating an impactful event that extends well beyond a computer/phone screen.

    The same amount of planning and engagement approaches as in-person meetings are still necessary. Regretfully, it comes as no surprise that 65% of planners have never taken part in the virtual event planning process.

    10 Steps to Successful Virtual Event Planning

    Here, we’ve put together 10 easy-to-follow steps to successful virtual event planning.

    1. Understand Your Audience

    As an event planner, you need to have a solid grasp of your audience’s demography, needs and expectations. This important piece of information can help you to come up with interesting virtual event themes and ideas.

    To secure a human connection with your audience, ask yourself:

    • What aspects of your industry pique their interest the most?
    • How tech-savvy are they? Which platform are they most familiar with?
    • What type of promotions do they respond best to? (discounts, bundle deals, free shipping, etc.)

    Otherwise, you can always send out surveys or start a discussion forum to acquire answers from your audience. In fact, it doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you get to collect the information needed.

    1. Comprehend Your Event Goals

    Think of the whys of this virtual event, whether it is to educate, to inform, to entertain or to drive sales? Be careful when setting your event goal as it will be the key driver of the event progress. Make sure everyone in the team is clear of goals determined so that everything else that follows is on the right path.

    Also, since we can’t 100% emulate the experience of a physical event, what we ought to do is to check that expectation at the door. Don’t compare your virtual event to a physical event. Instead, gauge your virtual event success based on realistic expectations. Get inspired from real virtual event examples and bring yours to life.

    1. Define Your Format

    Just like physical events, virtual event planning comes in many formats, offering you plenty of freedom and variety. For education purposes, it can range from seminars to workshops; for showcasing, it can be a tradeshow, a concert or a product launch.

    You may go with any virtual event format as long as it matches your event goal. The main objective here at this stage of planning is to develop a one-of-a-kind experience that is atypical of what your competitors are offering.

    Perhaps, you can try creating a personalised theme to ensure optimal engagement and attendance from your target audience.

    1. Choose A Platform

    There are so many virtual event platforms out there that seem to be offering the same basic features. However, if you look closely, each has something unique to offer, not to mention the live support services by different providers.

    Once you have identified your goal and event format, research the virtual event platforms available that can best satisfy your needs and requirements. For instance, if you are to organise a large-scale virtual conference, be sure to enquire about the number of people the platform can hold.

    All in all, it’s best to get a free demo from the service provider to get a feel for the basic features while also putting virtual event planning services to the test.

    1. Pick a Host/Emcee

    A good emcee is the greatest asset of your virtual event. Selecting a great one is not something you want to take lightly as he/she is the image of your brand. He/She is the master of ceremonies who brings a level of professionalism to events. Of course, you may hire a professional emcee or simply select an in-house member, if he/she possesses good language and is comfortable speaking in front of a camera/screen.

    Here is a little guide to picking the right host for your event:

    • Does the host have a loud and clear voice?
    • Is the host a good conversationalist?
    • How well can the host deal with any unforeseen circumstances?
    • Does the host have any knowledge on the topic of the virtual event?

    Screen your host candidates to ensure that the last one standing owns a public figure that fits well with your event theme. A professional host can lend credibility to a product launch; someone who is skilled at entertaining is ideal to be called in for hosting a concert.

    1. Market Your Event

    Effective event marketing is crucial to boost event registration. In this information age, try using most, if not all, digital promotional tools to spread the news about your upcoming event. Getting your event in front of your target audience’s eyes will significantly multiply the conversion rate due to the theory of consumerism.

    For instance,

    • Social media: Tweeting and posting about your virtual event on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat will help to reach out to a wider audience. Creating customised hashtags and asking followers to tag their friends under your posts can boost search volume and improve traffic to your event page. Moreover, you may plan a series of event counting down posts to prepare your registrants with the event topic or inform them about what they may need to download in advance to access the event platform.
    • Email: If your website contains the newsletter feature, alert your email subscribers about your upcoming virtual event. Including links to the event signup page in your newsletters can work. Besides, you may also reuse the contact list from your previous in-person events. An email broadcast comes in handy to send out event invitations.
    • Blog post: Upload keynote speakers’ info, event-related articles or announcements to your website can help in organic search. It also generates buzz and excitement leading up to your event. Blogging about event preparation progress, highlights of the event and mystery merchandise can offer your registrants something to look forward to.
    1. Get A Venue

    Yes, you do not need to get a lavish and spacious event venue since everything is moved to a digital space. Yet, kindly still be mindful of where your event will be streamed from.

    Do consider whether

    • Is it an office, conference centre, a virtual studio or from someone’s home?
    • What kind of backdrop will you be using?
    • Does this venue come with the basics like a stage with a podium?
    • Is the location quiet and able to cater for the technology you will be using?
    1. Decide on The Time and Date

    Since the virtual event is targeting a wider audience, time zones become a big consideration if you have a majority of the overseas audiences. Moreover, you ought to check the calendar for dates that are not clashing with other significant events such as a high-profile sports game or a large-scale awards ceremony.

    1. Plan Your Content

    Bear in mind that your audience does not present on-site and they can log out of your virtual event at any time if they find it boring, too pushy or difficult to follow. Hence, it is crucial to ensure your event is able to provide reasons for them to stay engaged throughout the course of the event.

    Ask yourself if you will be able to provide the following:

    • Photos, videos, animations
    • Q & A session
    • Game/Poll 
    1. Technical Checks

    As a virtual event is held on a platform over the net, it’s crucial to put all equipment to test before the event kick-starts. Double check to make sure the audio/visual equipment and lights are well functioning so that your audience does not experience lip-syncing issues.

    Not to forget, get your members to join the virtual event platform to see how everything works. Identify those possible login issues and get a plan B to assist attendees on the actual event day.

    1. Virtual Events Will Focus on Efficiency

    Using a single platform to channel events in totality will be the impetus behind success in events. Virtual event planning will depend on a platform that manages cost, event data, spend data, attendee behaviour analysis from one place and at the same time offers simplified and user-friendly execution.
