If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it's that not all events need to be in-person. As the quality of virtual events has improved, time has proven that participants also value virtual events in lieu of in-person events and might even prefer them in some cases. Here's are all your selling points for making your next event virtual to get both organizers and participants on board.
Virtual events of all kinds have changed the way we connect with other companies, clients, and employees. Attending in-person events takes a lot more planning, time, and money. With the switch to virtual, companies have more flexibility and versatility. Your attendees no longer need to book a flight or hotel room to get the information they need to be successful. Instead, they can tune in to the virtual experience from the comfort of their home or office.
It’s no secret virtual events are shaping the industry and growing in popularity quicker than anyone could have ever predict.

Not only do they provide flexibility, convenience, and value, but some even act and look like the real deal.
Virtual events have been growing in popularity for several years, but the use of virtual events skyrocketed in 2020 as companies looked for ways to keep their workforces connected and engaged while working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many events are being offered as virtual or hybrid events, while some companies are once again holding in-person events with COVID-19 precautions or for smaller groups. Several major trends have emerged, including improved analytics and simulive presentations. Companies of all sizes must now create a marketing and event strategy that captures the most attendance and engagement while remaining within budget and maintaining health and safety for attendees. Fortunately, today’s virtual and hybrid events offer many opportunities for collaboration among event planners, businesses, and attendees.
