How to Facilitate Networking at Virtual Events

Virtual events are getting more popular now, but can you really network digitally? Follow these steps to facilitate networking at your virtual conference!

In many ways, the only real difference between physical and virtual events is that a virtual event doesn’t provide attendees with the opportunity to network with thought leaders and colleagues in their industry or niche.

What if we told you that that isn’t necessarily true?

Successful virtual events allow for ample networking possibilities—but only if the event organizer takes steps to facilitate them!

By now, we’ve all participated in a video conference call or a painfully dull, one-sided, webinar. These virtual meetings and interactions are not always ideal or enjoyable but have become necessary in light of the current coronavirus pandemic. There is no reason, however, that your event needs to repeat this type of experience.

With the proper planning, you can create an event that fosters attendee engagement and allows for ample virtual networking opportunities.

1. Use Live Videos
2. Enable Chat
3. Include Social Media Links in Confirmation Emails
4. Engage Speakers and Vendors
5. Make Room in the Programming
6. Choose the Right Virtual Event Platform
