Virtual Event Elements

A virtual event is built around your content, attendees engagement, and the data being presented. Here are some of the elements we have found help make your next virtual event a great success: 

• Event website - main place for registration, links, and information about your event.
• Event registration (e.g. Zoom, Qualtrics,Wufoo) - let's you know who's coming and creates a record of attendees for later follow up.
• Media content
  • Live presentation content
  • Recorded content - pre-recorded and played during the event.
• Adjustable interactivity
  • Interactive video conferencing - maximum engagement for smaller groups
  • Live, one-way audio/video - focused activity for large audiences
• Question and answer / Chat - help your audience engage and get the answers they are looking for.
