The Benefits of Virtual Presentations

Now, more than ever, having the right speaker can make or break an event. With the in-person element removed from the equation, you need to have a profoundly engaging speaker in the right setting. Working with a speaker’s bureau like K&M Productions can help. A bureau will have extensive knowledge of their roster and can recommend a speaker who will be a perfect fit.

We don’t have to miss out on events just because we’re in quarantine. We simply need to learn how to work with our new socially distanced reality and make some adjustments. Virtual is a unique platform and it has to be treated as such.

If you are/were thinking of canceling your upcoming event due to COVID-19, consider some of the benefits of doing it virtually, below.
 
Save Time and Money
While virtual events do require time, dedication, planning, and marketing like any other, it’s considerably less work than an in-person event. Take advantage of the fact that a virtual conference is less time-consuming, and also more budget-friendly, as a way to stay connected to your core audience during this period of uncertainty.

Make More Connections
As mentioned, making connections can be difficult even when we’re face-to-face—especially in a professional setting. The great thing about a virtual event is that it not only compels us to get creative about having conversations, it also allows for real-time commenting, polling, and discussion to take place. That’s hundreds of people you may not have gotten a chance to meet in a face-to-face setting, chatting with you online—with their full name and profile on the screen.

Gather Feedback Easily
The secondary advantage of comments, polls, and real-time discussion? You can quickly and easily gather tonnes of feedback! Instead of relying on the audience to complete a post-event survey and compiling the answers, which may take weeks or months, the feedback is happening right on the screen—and can be archived for later reflection.

Measure Results Instantly
You can almost instantly—and pretty effortlessly—gauge the success of a virtual event by looking at the data. How many people showed up? How many engaged and interacted? Where did your attendees log in from? How long did they stick around? There is so much valuable information at our disposal when we put on a virtual event—precise, data-driven information, that will help us improve. Don’t throw that opportunity away!

K&M Productions has been offering virtual presentations since 2009. We work with a great selection of talented speakers who are experienced in delivering virtual presentations on a variety of topics pertinent to today’s changing environment.
