2020 was quite the year. The pandemic has cancelled or postponed practically all traditional events since March 2020 and has thrust the world toward adopting virtual and hybrid events.
Now more people and companies are realizing the many benefits of hosting virtual and hybrid events.
For instance, when planning a virtual event you no longer have to get event insurance, because people aren’t traveling and being hosted in a physical venue. Budgets that would have been set aside for food and beverage can be spent elsewhere. And lodging, parking, and accommodations aren’t a concern. Anybody with an internet connection can now attend your event.
Planning a virtual and hybrid event isn’t without its challenges, though. Today’s event planners have new responsibilities they must take on, such as choosing the right event platform, figuring out which software solutions integrate together, and trying to keep people at home engaged.
Luckily, new advancements in event technology can help you manage and host a virtual or hybrid event your audiences will love. But where do you acquire said event tech and how do you infuse it into your event plan?
