Organizing virtual events might be easier than you think.

EventX has created a full suite of tools, tips, and resources to help you gather your participants despite the geographical distances. If you hold virtual events with us, distance is no longer a barrier to connecting people! Here we introduce a full set of virtual event solutions for you.

How do virtual events differ from physical events?

Your virtual event will not have a live check-in, reception, name badge printing, or in-person networking. Instead, virtual event tools will streamline these services.

Organizers and participants can still utilize the event management app or tool. They can view real-time event information, and exchange contact data by scanning QR codes or virtual business cards.

They can also interact with speakers through live polling or Q&A session.

So, What Do I Do If I Want to Hold an Online Event?

If you haven’t organized a virtual event before, you may not know how to engage your attendees or adapt to a new conference tool. Here are some tips to make it easy.

  1. Re-define the goal of the virtual event so that you don’t deviate from it
  2. Set a clear timeline for each part of your event
  3. Specify the guidelines on how to increase engagement or profits
  4. List out the things you may need for a virtual event:
  • Registration page
  • Ticketing and payment
  • Virtual vents Tools setup
  • Manage your attendees
  • Attendees engaging flow setup 
  • Pre-event rehearsal with speakers and your team
  • Event technical support and facilitation
  • Post-event report services
