Making The Switch to Virtual Events?
The events landscape is forever changed with the raging pandemic. Without the possibility of holding on-site events, what are our options in engagement? We all know the answer by now and that is by going online – essentially, through Virtual Events.
So what are virtual events?
Long story short, we take your event and host it online instead of in a physical space. All you need is a laptop and good internet connection. Easy-Peasy!
What kind of events can I host virtually?
Any kind, really. There are many ways to help transform a physical event to a virtual one. All of these can only be done through discussions when we find out more about your objectives, needs and requirements.
Some virtual events happening now that you see are workshops, seminars, conferences and even family days!
What is included in virtual events?
Depends on what you need, the level of interactivity you desire and how much of it you want to be held in the virtual space.
Say you are looking at
- You want to engage your audiences through a customized craft workshop that allows them to dictate when and where to do it.
- You also want it to be fully virtual.
With these requirements, you can consider creating a customized template for them to print and use available materials at home. These templates can be also customized to include branding as well!
A great add-on is to having a branded video instruction that gives them visual aid in completing the activity. For hype and exclusivity, you can even seek to release it at a certain time and have the video private, only to be accessed by a fair few!
The above is a fully virtual solution but there is the other side of the story – a hybrid. Keep a lookout for upcoming articles that will delve into this aspect!
What are the advantages to hosting it virtually as compared to physically?
While nothing could beat a live experience, a virtual experience is no shabby alternative!
One big advantage is that virtual events are not only safe, it also offers the chance for people to get together even while they have to be socially distant. Doing a common activity together can help alleviate the loneliness and sian-ness one feels while isolating.
Another advantage is that it is convenient as it allows people everywhere to participate at their own time. Moreover, its all done in a comfortable setting – say bye to queueing in the heat!
As we all work towards adapting to these profound changes in our events landscape changes, let us work together to come up with solutions to help you address your goals and objectives!
