Virtual events definition: A virtual event is an event that takes place online rather than a physical location. Whether it’s a global conference, product launch, open day or trade show, virtual conferences and events allow you to replicate the benefits, look, feel and interactivity of a traditional physical event, but over the internet via a virtual event platform. All your attendees need to take part in your virtual event is an internet connection.

Because you’re opening up your audience and ROI opportunties! No longer are you restricted by space or travel with a virtual meeting platform. Your audience reach becomes larger than ever before. Plus, research shows that people now expect and want a virtual element at events now.

Everything will be streamed via a virtual events platform so your online audience can join. But it can look pretty much anything you like! Our virtual event platform is flexible to suit your bespoke needs.

Yes, that’s no problem with our online event platform. We’d always recommend using a professional camera kit where possible. Get the perfect webcam setup with our short guide.

Of course! You need to be confident that you are producing content that has sufficient appeal to your audience to justify a price-tag, but there’s no reason not to charge for access if, for example, you’re live-streaming parts of a physical event which delegates have paid to attend.

We did some research and found out the top reasons that would persuade someone to pay for a virtual event ticket.

streamGo can take the payment on your behalf in our platform using Stripe payment gateway. Alternatively, you can use your existing payment gateway solution and register your paid attendees with our platform.

It can, and it should. Your virtual event should represent your brand at any and every available attendee touch-point. Your registration page, virtual event page, reminder emails and URL all look and feel just like your own.

Our virtual events platform is set up to make sure your brand and content takes centre stage, which is why using a virtual events agency with an event platform like ours is key to getting the best branding.

You can start to create pages for your event in our platform with just a few clicks! Or if you’re going for something more enterprise-level with us, the streamGo virtual events team can turn things around pretty quickly. We’ve even managed within 48 hours, but the important factor here is allowing time to market your virtual event effectively. Okay, if it’s internal communications then you already know who you will be inviting, but it’s still good to give people enough notice to get the virtual event in their diaries, to maximise attendance. Four to six weeks is usually a good amount of time to allow for promotion.

Keeping the audience engaged is every bit as important as getting them to attend in the first place, so we recommend making your virtual event interactive. Luckily for you we offer the best platform for virtual events and engaging your audience.

Live polling is a great way to get an instant snapshot of your attendees’ thoughts on a certain topic, and you can display the results immediately on closing the poll – just be prepared for the results not to be what you expect!

Q&A sessions at the end of a virtual event are also important to allow attendees to interact, and our reporting platform tracks every question asked, so even if you can’t cover each one in the live event, it’s a great resource and way to engage with the attendee after the event.

Absolutely, physical events can still include virtual elements so that you have both, which is what we call hybrid events.

Having that virtual element at your physical events can be a great way to boost attendee numbers (by up to 25%) with an online-access pass or provide the in-person attendees with on-demand content long after they leave.

Sure thing – we all know your attendees won’t all be able to make the live event, so making the content available on-demand is both good manners and great business.

On-demand events are actually created automatically in our platform as soon as your live event finishes! Our reporting allows you to see analytics on both the live and on-demand events separately, so you get a great understanding of when and how your attendees view your virtual event.

Success looks different depending on the type of event you’re running, but our platform provides reports for all of the metrics you’d need for registrations, attendees, questions, clicks, average view and session times.

Ask us for more detail on how this can work for your website.
