LAI's Event Series on Going Virtual, Hybrid, and Beyond
As the world reopens, more groups are focusing on a hybrid model for their meetings moving forward. But one of the biggest challenges is getting everyone on the same page on the X’s and O’s of the hybrid model and the key plays for executing it, including: what does a hybrid model really look like, what’s important, and how do you do it? Our experts have stepped up to the plate to answer the top questions about the hybrid event model and why it’s an all-star format for now and in the future.
As viewers’ expectations for virtual events continue to grow, it’s time to explore how to change things up. A good place to start is by asking: “What’s your story?” In this 1-hour event, our subject matter experts not only talked through the 9 elements of the storytelling framework, and the importance of story wrapping and story arc in creating an engaging virtual event, but also shared best practices and new ideas from the front lines to create a memorable, unique experience for your viewers.
As we have all become comfortable with new technologies, shorter timeframes, and new ways of doing well, almost everything, virtual meeting organizers are starting to push the creative boundaries and embrace new ideas for delivering value to their audiences. Our third Plan V event was a virtual event producer's version of "show and tell." We share 9 tricks our team of seasoned event producers use to elevate and energize an online meeting experience, and also demonstrate these techniques in action on-screen.
Our second Plan V event broke down a lot of questions event professionals are facing when deciding to host a meeting virtually. Some topics that were discussed were how to prep your virtual event attendees, the "hidden costs" of virtual events, your event's secret weapon, and how to reimagine virtual galas and awards shows. This event showcased breakout sessions along with networking opportunities and sponsored booths. With a flurry of platform options and event elements to explore, LAI is happy to provide you with consulting to help you choose the best course of action and get the most out of your online virtual meeting.
More than 500 meeting planners and event organizers joined us at our first Plan V event! The entire virtual event was jam packed with a ton of valuable information that has helped several companies navigate the transition from in-person to virtual events. Tips included deciding how to choose your event platform, how your audience will access your event, and where to store your virtual meeting content. Check out the live recording and see for yourself!
