Conferences
Virtual and hybrid (live + virtual) conferences can tie together your network in an unprecedented way and cut your event costs down to a fraction of what they were when you were renting out hotel ballrooms. That being said, the success of a virtual conference relies on extremely clear communication and a coordinated effort on technology, from registration and ticketing options to multi-lingual accessibility concerns. For the traditional event planner, the idea of bringing a multi-day conference to the virtual world may seem daunting, but we are here to help. Our goal is to make the entire process zero stress: you'll find our staff is not only knowledgable, but also patient, kind and fun.

Tips + Tricks
- Integrate event sponsors with 'commercial' breaks, sponsor rooms or sponsor badges.
- For large conferences, start thinking about accessibility early.
- Try offering multiple ticket types for difference conference segments.
- Make sure your communication with your speakers is super clear and concise. Less is more.
- Generate an FAQ on the conference registration page to cut down on support questions.
- Be sure every speaker has checked their tech in advance of the event to find any red-flags early on.
- Up your production value with lighting, a higher quality video camera and microphone to stand above the crowd.
- Come up with a plan to share highlights from your event after it's over to keep your audience engaged.
- Consider creating an audio only version of your event (especially if it's a series) for podcasts.
- Remember that it's normal for virtual events to have about a 50% rate of drop off from registration to attendance.
