Virtual Event Capabilities
Virtual capabilities increase the reach of a live event by allowing teams to meet when in-person events aren’t possible or virtual presenters and attendees need to be included in a traditional live event. Virtual and hybrid events allow organizations to overcome cost, travel, and time restrictions while significantly increasing attendance and engagement.
There are three primary ways virtual components are used in live events.
Live Broadcast Events
Our team believes successful virtual events should feel like a live broadcast. We utilize a central broadcasting location to run virtual events, eliminating much of the risk when presenters are in uncontrolled environments, such as internet or audio challenges. Additionally, on-site support, such as a teleprompter or confidence monitor, lighting and sound equipment, and a relaxing space to wait backstage, helps presenters feel comfortable and confident as they transition to virtual presenting.
Live broadcast events work well for educational conferences, keynote presentations, seminars, and ceremonies.

Interactive Virtual Events
Featuring interactive components during virtual events helps attendees stay involved and engaged throughout the meeting. We recommend that virtual events combine live discussions, presentations, interactive elements, and produced video content, resulting in a polished and unique experience.
Interactive Virtual Events work well for media releases, internal corporate announcements, and public addresses.
Hybrid Events
Hybrid events allow us to combine elements from traditional, in-person events with the increased reach of virtual meetings. Virtual capabilities allow remote speakers and audiences to interact with the experience, making the event more accessible, while interactive online components generate more interest than a static post-event recording will.
Hybrid events are great for multi-location events, events where not all attendees may be able to attend in-person, and large-scale events with attendees spread out around the country.
