Networking and face-to-face events are important for companies in all industries regardless of their size. But sometimes due to technical, logistical or medical barriers, it can be difficult to bring everyone under one roof. This is when virtual events have proven to be an excellent alternative. Below are a few tips which will allow you to host a successful virtual event:

  1. Reliable platform: Start with finding a reliable platform for your virtual event. It is necessary that you familiarise yourself with the platform you will use for your event so that you can minimize downtime or poor user experience once the event goes live.
  2. Prepare for a technical crisis: Technical issues are bound to happen. Don’t assume that all the attendees are internet savvy. Be ready to deal with bandwidth difficulties, buffering errors, firewall blocks and other problems. You can solve technical difficulties by creating an emergency customer support response team that will continuously monitor the event and provide attendees with FAQs and help.
  3. Facilitating live updates: Keep in mind that not everyone will be able to log in and make it to the online event. To make sure that everyone is updated with what’s happening at the event, you can post live updates via social media or your own website. This way everyone will be able to  stay in touch with the latest developments in real-time. This process will also bring more traffic towards your social media pages and website and will help you in bringing new leads and followers.
  4. Collect post-event feedback: Getting feedback from attendees, sponsors and advertisers will assist you in learning about what worked and what did not. By asking for feedback you will also be nurturing your relationship with your stakeholders.
