Go Virtual 

The challenges of virtual events can be overcome by using the right tools and being prepared to produce the event. Here are some of the main things you should consider while transitioning your event from physical to virtual: 

1. Find the Right Platform 

Because everything is running online during a virtual event, your platform’s bandwidth and speed are important. No wants to attend an event with a website crash, slow connection, or live stream buffering. You must be proactive and make sure your virtual even can support your peak audience, all the time. If you have a high volume of attendees, consider staggering audiences or prerecording the event. To find the ideal platform for your event, read this article
