As the world of technology evolves and changes, it has had an impact on everything we do, including events. While we were beginning to see an increase in the prevalence of virtual and hybrid events in the years leading up to 2020, the pandemic has forced the adoption of this technology in new and exciting ways. These types of events combine elements of both traditional face-to-face meetings and online conferencing solutions to provide a seamless experience for attendees.

Everyone is happy to be getting back to in person events, but the pandemic has taught us a lot about the usefulness and practicality of virtual events, and it looks like they aren't going away anytime soon.

Virtual events provide a lot of flexibility for your company, including reduced travel costs, and the ability for presenters and attendees alike to join from anywhere in the world. While you can't beat the impact and energy of a live event, there are certainly situations where the virtual event makes a lot of sense.

While audiences seem to be eager to get back to in-person events, there's no denying that the pandemic has created a new level of acceptance and awareness around attending events online. It's now expected that most events will provide an online alternative for those who are unable or unwilling to attend in person.

As the world begins to settle into our "new normal", it's becoming obvious that events have changed for the foreseeable future, and perhaps forever. While nothing can replicate the energy and excitement that comes from in-person live events, people have also become accustomed to the convenience of presenting and attending events online.

Hybrid events combine the best of the live and virtual worlds.

After more than a year of non-stop online meetings, Zoom fatigue has fully set in. The thought of yet another endless session of talking heads is enough to make us wish we were on a beach somewhere instead of sitting in front of the computer.

While we can’t help with your travel arrangements, VIP Audio Visual does have some solutions for making your next online event more exciting, professional, and engaging.

By now we’ve all grown accustomed to having a grid of heads filling our computer screens. Business meetings have gone from “who’s bringing the donuts” to “hey, you’re muted!”

Now that the initial shock of working remotely is wearing off, more and more businesses are looking for ways to make their virtual events more professional. In a world where everyone from the Fortune 500 to your local elementary school is meeting online, creating an event that stands out in terms of professionalism and engagement is becoming more of a priority.
