As technology progresses, it has made it possible for companies to host amazing online events - ones that even rival in-person versions. This has led to many benefits for both event planners and attendees alike.\r\nA virtual event, also known as an online event, is an interactive gathering that happens on the internet. Unlike in-person events, virtual ones aren't restricted to a single location. A remote attendee can join and participate from anywhere in the world, given he or she has access to the web.\r\nSome events are completely virtual and every guest attends sessions from the comfort of their own home, favorite coffee shop, or wherever they might be. Others have both in-person and virtual components. Some attendees visit the actual event location and others stream the festivities from their computer.\r\nThere are many reasons why virtual events are valuable. First off, virtual events allow the individuals or companies hosting them to reach a wider audience. Were you to host your event in New York City, for example, not every person in your audience would be able to attend due to the cost of travel. With a virtual event, travel isn't an issue.\r\nIn general, virtual events are also much cheaper to put on. Event planners don't have to book a giant venue or hire a bunch of temporary staff. These cost savings can then be passed on to each virtual attendee in the form of lower ticket prices.\r\nLastly, virtual events are extremely measurable. Companies can easily learn which sessions were the most popular, how many people attended, where those attendees live, how they paid for their tickets, and much more. Just about every attendee action can be easily tracked and analyzed. This information can then be used to improve event strategy.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is a virtual event?</span>\r\nIn an industry with lots of jargon and acronyms flying about, it’s easy to become bamboozled by terminology. However, in the case of virtual events, there’s little room for ambiguity – they are as they sound – events that take place completely online. Supported by specialist AV technology, virtual events negate the need for a physical location and work to bring people together virtually from across the world. Whilst a virtual event can’t replace the power and value of in-person interactions, they’re an effective tool that can be an engaging and immersive alternative to delivering business content and information.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How many people can attend a virtual event?</span>\r\nVirtual events have the capacity to facilitate large audience numbers: from hundreds of thousands to thousands, hundreds or smaller groups. Understanding, from the outset, what you want to achieve from your event and the complexity of the program, will provide a good guide to how many attendees should be invited.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How do attendees gain access to a virtual event?</span>\r\nIn theory, this is an easy one to answer: attendees will receive an invite with access details, which will allow them to enter the virtual event on the date and time outlined. However, before this happens, there are some important things for you to consider first, including:\r\n<ul><li>Are you charging an entry fee for the event?</li><li>Will the event be live, on-demand or a combination of the two?</li><li>How will you market your event, so your audience knows it’s taking place and want to be part of it?</li><li>Is your audience tech-savvy? Might they need a pre-event virtual guide/tour, so they are familiar with how to join and the features of a virtual event set up?</li></ul>\r\nHaving questions like these answered will define the platform required, help maximize attendance and optimize your delegates overall experience of the virtual event offering.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the main benefits of a virtual event?</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Scope:</span> Whilst not all events will suit a virtual treatment, many programs can be adapted into a digital format. It really comes down to your objectives and whether or not these can be achieved through holding an online event.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Accessibility:</span> Expand the reach of your brand without the need for travel. Not only can virtual events connect you with a global audience in real-time, but with event recording, event content can be made available on-demand; providing more opportunities for people to consume your content at a time that suits their schedule best. What’s more, all that attendees and speakers need to attend/talk is a computer, laptop, or mobile device and a good, reliable internet connection.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Engagement:</span> In-person events are unrivaled in their ability to engage and facilitate real human-to-human connections through creative interactions. For this reason, you might be concerned that virtual events can’t engage audiences. Whilst there’s no escaping the fact that there are limitations vs face-to-face meetings, there are lots of potentials to mix rich content with live polling, Q&amp;As and whiteboards to keep engagement levels high throughout sessions. Social media can also be employed as a great engagement tool – use event hashtags, encourage attendees to post images of their highlights from the event, and get imaginative with other ways a sense of community can be created via social channels.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Multiple or Single Content Experiences:</span> As with physical events, virtual events offer the opportunity to run multiple content streams concurrently; allowing different speakers to host sessions simultaneously and giving attendees the option to select sessions most relevant to them. If this isn’t required for your event, then a multiple single content experience may be a better fit.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Networking:</span> While there’s no escaping the fact that in-person events are the most conducive way to network and make meaningful business connections, networking can still be factored into a virtual event program. Give attendees the chance to schedule one-on-one time or assemble into group breakouts, where they can speak to each other, your team, sponsors or speakers over the internet. A range of tools can be used to ensure attendees can leverage the best from their interactions.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Insight:</span> The metrics and data insights that can be captured from virtual event platforms can help measure ROI and success against pre-defined KPIs. Information derived can be used to articulate if your event was successful and to influence future event decision making.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Is there a potential to incorporate sponsorship?</span>\r\nYes. Virtual event spaces, presentations and other assets can be customised to reflect your branding and the branding of any sponsors you may partner with. This maximises brand exposure and maintains a sponsor revenue stream coming into your event.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Can virtual events be used as part of a hybrid event strayegy?</span>\r\nAbsolutely. Incorporating virtual events with a holistic approach can be a good way to enhance your existing event strategy. Integrating virtual events into your wider events and meetings program will give you an additional tool to utilize alongside your live events; extending reach and engagement with your audience further.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/1999104__1_.png"}],"characteristics":[{"id":2115,"title":"VR

However, in the case of virtual events, there’s little room for ambiguity – they are as they sound – events that take place completely online. Supported by specialist AV technology, virtual events negate the need for a physical location and work to bring people together virtually from across the world.

As technology progresses, it has made it possible for companies to host amazing online events - ones that even rival in-person versions. This has led to many benefits for both event planners and attendees alike.\r\nA virtual event, also known as an online event, is an interactive gathering that happens on the internet. Unlike in-person events, virtual ones aren't restricted to a single location. A remote attendee can join and participate from anywhere in the world, given he or she has access to the web.\r\nSome events are completely virtual and every guest attends sessions from the comfort of their own home, favorite coffee shop, or wherever they might be. Others have both in-person and virtual components. Some attendees visit the actual event location and others stream the festivities from their computer.\r\nThere are many reasons why virtual events are valuable. First off, virtual events allow the individuals or companies hosting them to reach a wider audience. Were you to host your event in New York City, for example, not every person in your audience would be able to attend due to the cost of travel. With a virtual event, travel isn't an issue.\r\nIn general, virtual events are also much cheaper to put on. Event planners don't have to book a giant venue or hire a bunch of temporary staff. These cost savings can then be passed on to each virtual attendee in the form of lower ticket prices.\r\nLastly, virtual events are extremely measurable.

Here, attendees can familiarise themselves with the event, interact with other attendees and enter the other online event areas. \r\n<b>Get familiar </b>\r\nTypically, participants can watch a teaser or welcome video, which tells them the most important information about the virtual event. There is also an information booth where attendees can find any assistance they might need. \r\n<b>Interact</b>\r\nAttendees also have the chance to network and interact with one another in the lounge area, an additional feature of the main hall. We have integrated multiple social networking capabilities (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, ...) in order to enable communication, helping to ensure that contacts are not lost once the event is over. \r\n<b>Navigate </b>\r\nThe main hall is also the navigation center for virtual events. From here attendees can access all other areas of the event, such as a keynote theater with video presentations or an exhibition hall with virtual booths. Since the virtual event platform supports events of unlimited size, it is also possible to access further exhibition halls, thus adding additional navigation layers for very large events. \r\n\r\n<b><ins>Keynote Theater </ins></b>\r\nThe virtual keynote theater is the broadcasting component of your online event. We support the following video streams: \r\n<ul> <li>live (studio/conference): live video streaming from a particular location</li> <li>live (webcam): video streaming with your webcam</li> <li>pseudo-live: pre-recorded and played at a fixed time</li> <li>on demand: pre-recorded and played on request</li> </ul>\r\n<b>Adjust it to your needs </b>\r\nThe virtual auditorium can be tailored to your individual needs: with or without slides, subtitles or translation. Polls, feedback and online tests can also be integrated to your event. \r\n<b>Lively interaction </b>\r\nIn order to enable lively interaction, video presentations can be run in combination with our chat feature. Live chats can be started automatically at the end of the presentation, and the moderator can also determine the order in which the messages of the attendees appear, in order to guide the flow of the discussion. Answers can be submitted in the group chat or via webcam. \r\n\r\n<b><ins>Exhibition Hall with Booths </ins></b>\r\nIn the virtual exhibition hall, conference attendees can browse the booths. These virtual booths can be adjusted according to your corporate identity, and all elements within the booths, such as video screens and document sections, can be emphasized to varying degrees depending on how important they are for you. \r\n<b>Live interaction with booth staff </b>\r\nYou can also staff each booth with individual booth personnel. As soon as they log in to the platform, their personal avatar appears in the booth. Each booth visitor can can simply click on these avatars to either start a video chat or a text based chat. The number of staff on a booth is not restricted in any way! A complex algorithm ensures that only the next available avatar is shown to the attendees.

As technology progresses, it has made it possible for companies to host amazing online events - ones that even rival in-person versions. This has led to many benefits for both event planners and attendees alike.\r\nA virtual event, also known as an online event, is an interactive gathering that happens on the internet. Unlike in-person events, virtual ones aren't restricted to a single location. A remote attendee can join and participate from anywhere in the world, given he or she has access to the web.\r\nSome events are completely virtual and every guest attends sessions from the comfort of their own home, favorite coffee shop, or wherever they might be. Others have both in-person and virtual components. Some attendees visit the actual event location and others stream the festivities from their computer.\r\nThere are many reasons why virtual events are valuable. First off, virtual events allow the individuals or companies hosting them to reach a wider audience. Were you to host your event in New York City, for example, not every person in your audience would be able to attend due to the cost of travel. With a virtual event, travel isn't an issue.\r\nIn general, virtual events are also much cheaper to put on. Event planners don't have to book a giant venue or hire a bunch of temporary staff. These cost savings can then be passed on to each virtual attendee in the form of lower ticket prices.\r\nLastly, virtual events are extremely measurable. Companies can easily learn which sessions were the most popular, how many people attended, where those attendees live, how they paid for their tickets, and much more. Just about every attendee action can be easily tracked and analyzed. This information can then be used to improve event strategy.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is a virtual event?</span>\r\nIn an industry with lots of jargon and acronyms flying about, it’s easy to become bamboozled by terminology.

Were you to host your event in New York City, for example, not every person in your audience would be able to attend due to the cost of travel. With a virtual event, travel isn't an issue.\r\nIn general, virtual events are also much cheaper to put on. Event planners don't have to book a giant venue or hire a bunch of temporary staff. These cost savings can then be passed on to each virtual attendee in the form of lower ticket prices.\r\nLastly, virtual events are extremely measurable. Companies can easily learn which sessions were the most popular, how many people attended, where those attendees live, how they paid for their tickets, and much more. Just about every attendee action can be easily tracked and analyzed. This information can then be used to improve event strategy.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is a virtual event?</span>\r\nIn an industry with lots of jargon and acronyms flying about, it’s easy to become bamboozled by terminology. However, in the case of virtual events, there’s little room for ambiguity – they are as they sound – events that take place completely online. Supported by specialist AV technology, virtual events negate the need for a physical location and work to bring people together virtually from across the world. Whilst a virtual event can’t replace the power and value of in-person interactions, they’re an effective tool that can be an engaging and immersive alternative to delivering business content and information.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How many people can attend a virtual event?</span>\r\nVirtual events have the capacity to facilitate large audience numbers: from hundreds of thousands to thousands, hundreds or smaller groups. Understanding, from the outset, what you want to achieve from your event and the complexity of the program, will provide a good guide to how many attendees should be invited.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">How do attendees gain access to a virtual event?</span>\r\nIn theory, this is an easy one to answer: attendees will receive an invite with access details, which will allow them to enter the virtual event on the date and time outlined. However, before this happens, there are some important things for you to consider first, including:\r\n<ul><li>Are you charging an entry fee for the event?</li><li>Will the event be live, on-demand or a combination of the two?</li><li>How will you market your event, so your audience knows it’s taking place and want to be part of it?</li><li>Is your audience tech-savvy? Might they need a pre-event virtual guide/tour, so they are familiar with how to join and the features of a virtual event set up?</li></ul>\r\nHaving questions like these answered will define the platform required, help maximize attendance and optimize your delegates overall experience of the virtual event offering.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What are the main benefits of a virtual event?</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Scope:</span> Whilst not all events will suit a virtual treatment, many programs can be adapted into a digital format. It really comes down to your objectives and whether or not these can be achieved through holding an online event.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Accessibility:</span> Expand the reach of your brand without the need for travel. Not only can virtual events connect you with a global audience in real-time, but with event recording, event content can be made available on-demand; providing more opportunities for people to consume your content at a time that suits their schedule best. What’s more, all that attendees and speakers need to attend/talk is a computer, laptop, or mobile device and a good, reliable internet connection.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Engagement:</span> In-person events are unrivaled in their ability to engage and facilitate real human-to-human connections through creative interactions. For this reason, you might be concerned that virtual events can’t engage audiences. Whilst there’s no escaping the fact that there are limitations vs face-to-face meetings, there are lots of potentials to mix rich content with live polling, Q&amp;As and whiteboards to keep engagement levels high throughout sessions. Social media can also be employed as a great engagement tool – use event hashtags, encourage attendees to post images of their highlights from the event, and get imaginative with other ways a sense of community can be created via social channels.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Multiple or Single Content Experiences:</span> As with physical events, virtual events offer the opportunity to run multiple content streams concurrently; allowing different speakers to host sessions simultaneously and giving attendees the option to select sessions most relevant to them. If this isn’t required for your event, then a multiple single content experience may be a better fit.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Networking:</span> While there’s no escaping the fact that in-person events are the most conducive way to network and make meaningful business connections, networking can still be factored into a virtual event program. Give attendees the chance to schedule one-on-one time or assemble into group breakouts, where they can speak to each other, your team, sponsors or speakers over the internet. A range of tools can be used to ensure attendees can leverage the best from their interactions.</li><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Insight:</span> The metrics and data insights that can be captured from virtual event platforms can help measure ROI and success against pre-defined KPIs. Information derived can be used to articulate if your event was successful and to influence future event decision making.</li></ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Is there a potential to incorporate sponsorship?</span>\r\nYes. Virtual event spaces, presentations and other assets can be customised to reflect your branding and the branding of any sponsors you may partner with. This maximises brand exposure and maintains a sponsor revenue stream coming into your event.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Can virtual events be used as part of a hybrid event strayegy?</span>\r\nAbsolutely. Incorporating virtual events with a holistic approach can be a good way to enhance your existing event strategy. Integrating virtual events into your wider events and meetings program will give you an additional tool to utilize alongside your live events; extending reach and engagement with your audience further.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/1999104__1_.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]},{"id":5782,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Virtual_Summits.png","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Virtual Summits","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"1.00","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":0,"alias":"virtual-summits","companyTitle":"Virtual Summits Software","companyTypes":["vendor"],"companyId":8648,"companyAlias":"virtual-summits-software","description":"Summits have been run by some of the TOP Marketing Influencers to build their list, boost their influence, &amp; increase their income.&nbsp; Virtual Summits platform has hosted over 300+ successful Virtual Summits.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">ReRun Your Summit &quot;LIVE&quot; Forever</span>\r\nThe only software in the world that lets you re-run your summit hands-free (automated), with one click of a button, as if it was LIVE - forever\r\n<ul> <li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Frequency Choice:</span> Re-Run the summit on a weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly basis as if it were going live for the very first time!</li> <li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Secure &amp; Automated:</span> The software tracks &amp; cookies users so that after they attend your summit they can't re-enter the summit unless they upgrade.</li> </ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Step-By-Step Guide To Follow</span>\r\nVirtual Summits comes with a guide to take you to step by step through setting up your summit.&nbsp; Makes it simple &amp; easy to run a summit.\r\n<ul> <li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">No Experience Needed,</span> anyone can run a summit using this easy &amp; simple software regardless of your tech skill or knowledge.</li> <li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">No Coding Needed,</span> simple plug &amp; play, type &amp; click actions are all that are needed to have your summit up and running.</li> </ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Landing Page Builder</span>\r\nChoose from one of 3 professional themes, then simply click to make visible or hidden each area.\r\n<ul> <li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Information Auto-populates,</span> information entered into your summit is auto-populated throughout the landing page.</li> <li><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Quick &amp; Easy,</span> no time-consuming building needed.
