The events industry is finding itself facing a unique challenge. Due to COVID-19, many events seem to have two options: postpone or cancel. However, there is a third option – transitioning to online and virtual events. 

Adaptability is the key to staying resilient.

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. 

2. Integrate the Platform with AV

After you find a suitable platform, you need to integrate your audio and video technology. Low-quality video and audio will decrease your audience interaction and professionalism. After all, you want everyone to be able to see and hear you! By integrating your audio and video capabilities, you’ll get better audience engagement and quality networking opportunities.
