What kind of experience are you creating?

Producing a virtual or hybrid event might seem like rocket science when you first start out, but it doesn’t have to be that challenging. To help you get started, we have created a model to guide you in deciding what kind of experience you should create for your event and how to deliver that experience successfully.

 

Start by considering these 3 factors

 

1. Interactivity

Are you planning one-way presentations with guided interactions using event tools, or something more collaborative with open discussions? Or perhaps both?

2. Quality

Are you looking to create a highly polished production like “The Tonight Show,” or something simple like a virtual roundtable?

3. Cost

Do you have a large budget for lighting, cameras, backdrops, and an AV staff or is this a lower budget event with simple webcams?

 

What does your experience include?

When you know what kind of experience you are planning, the next thing to consider is what kind of event tech you should use to deliver that experience. Different tools serve different purposes, so make sure to choose tech that matches the goals and needs of your event.
