What To Consider When Planning Your Conference
Before you produce your virtual event, you’ll need to put together a comprehensive plan. Just like a traditional event, there are a number of factors to consider when putting together a strategy for your virtual conference including:
- Budget – your budget can be tailored to the scale of your conference and the equipment packages put together.
- Timescale – do you need a quick turnaround?
- Virtual Or Hybrid Format – will your event be entirely virtual, or will you have some attendees, as a hybrid event?
- Guest Speakers – will your talks be pre-recorded or will you livestream your guests? Will you need to host a multi-user panel
- Live Crew – do you need live production crews to run your event on the day?
Promoting Your Virtual Conference
Promoting your virtual conference is simple – and can take place entirely online. One of the benefits of a virtual conference is that you’re not limited by venue capacity, or geographical locations, meaning you can promote your conference worldwide. Because attendees can access your conference via a link, you can continue promoting your event until even the last minute.
Choosing Your Equipment Package
Expert production equipment will bring your conference to life. There’s a huge range of cutting-edge technology that can make your virtual event stand out – from green screens for interactive backgrounds, to spark streams and confetti canons for in-studio performance. You’ll need a camera and recording equipment to deliver a professional presentation, and vision mixers and streaming systems to bring your live event to life.
Running Your Virtual Conference On The Day
Despite the smaller production scale of a virtual conference, you still need to make sure everything is running smoothly on the day.
