Webinar Events

The Way Out in the Coronavirus Times

With the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic that has led to travel bans and social distancing rules, many events across the country have been cancelled. This has led to many marketers turning their planned live events to virtual ones. If you are considering hosting a webinar virtual event, here are some of the things you should know about it.

Keynote Speakers

The advantage of webinar events is the ability to get key speakers from any part of the world. With the travel restrictions firmly in place, holding virtual events is a wise consideration. Sometimes, events need important keynote speakers that don't stay within the designated conference area. This is a problem that can be sorted through holding a webinar event. 

The Breakout Sessions

Just like it is the case with live events, breakout sessions allow scheduling more detailed discussions about the topic in question, utilizing all the resources available. You can schedule the same type of session on virtual platforms. Additionally, just as with the main speaker, you are not affected by travel restrictions or limited to the speaker's ability to travel. This gives your events higher chance of success, given that everything is done from the comfort of your home. 

Interactive Features

Webinar events have advanced interactive features that are perfect for networking events. You can regulate the attendance by inviting one expert and limiting delegates that can sign up. Through such features, you will be able to create freewheeling conversations and let your delegates discus issues comprehensively. 

One on One Sessions

Another advantage of webinar virtual events is that they give delegates an opportunity to discuss with educated leaders one on one for several minutes. This is important especially when pitching business ideas to TV shows or potential investors. 

Universal Spaces and Advanced Meeting Rooms

Webinar platforms can also facilitate a meeting between small groups or two delegates. This kind of set up is perfect for deal-making discussions and business meetings. You can also set up meetings for delegates in a perfect atmosphere. This is done through utilizing video or chat functions. This is a serene environment that leads to successful meetings and live events. 

Interactive Features

In webinar events, the scope of interactive features is only limited to your imagination. As a planner, it is your duty to properly plan out the virtual event and ensure it has all the necessary equipment. 

Sponsorship Element

One of the ways to having a successful webinar conference is sponsor participation. Having the right partners on the table can go a long way in ensuring the event is successful.  

Evergreen Content

With webinar events, you have the opportunity of turning the event into content making platform. Everything that happens in the virtual meeting can be recorded,  repackaged and distributed as audio clips or videos. The most important and well reasoned thoughts can be repurposed into podcasts, blogs and other forms of infographic materials. Content creation on webinar events is easy because two birds are killed with one stone.
