Virtual events are becoming increasingly popular, as businesses are transitioning their traditional in-person events online, which is why it’s essential to understand the different types of virtual events.

Each virtual event type includes its own own unique features and provides various business benefits, but these are the main types of online events:

• Webinars: online seminars that enable presenters to connect with audiences and exchange information
• Webcasts: a high-quality, polished live video stream of an event or conferences
• Virtual conferences: replicates a traditional conference in an online environment
• Virtual college open days: replicate traditional physical college or university open houses virtually
• Virtual open houses: property realtors host virtual open houses by streaming them online for audiences
• Virtual trade shows: allows exhibitors and visitors to interact online environment, rather than at a physical trade show
• Virtual careers fairs: allow employers to connect with job seekers in a virtual environment, rather than in-person
• Virtual benefits fairs: enable employers to communicate the benefits provided to their employees at scale through an interactive online environment

Virtual events are large, multi-session online events that can feature both webinars and webcasts. Ideal for industry conferences, virtual open days, expos and trade shows, virtual events are suitable for any event that features multiple presentations, discussion rooms or brand experiences to engage your audience. 

The most basic definition of a virtual event is an online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment, rather than a physical location. They are highly interactive and give a similar look and feel to a physical event.

Virtual events have been growing in popularity in recent years, as businesses want to extend the reach of their events to audiences worldwide. But how do you host a virtual event?

Much like any event, running a virtual event involves a lot of planning and preparation. Regardless of whether you’re running a virtual conference or a virtual open house for a college, you can follow these simple steps to ensure the success of your virtual event:

1. Understand your audience and the why of your virtual event
2. Choose your team i.e. presenters, speakers, guests, moderators and more
3. Select the best day and time to host your virtual event for maximum attendance
4. Define your format and interactive content e.g. live webcasts, webinars, Q&A, discussions and more
5. Select your platform for hosting the virtual event e.g. WorkCast 
6. Choose your hook/topic and create engaging content 
7. Promote your online event via social media, email marketing, landing pages, websites and more, to attract registrants
8. Practice, practice, practice - complete several dry runs to you and your speakers are prepared 
9. Run a test stream (if you’re streaming live) to test your internet and audio levels before going live
10. Follow up with attendees by sending a thank you email and a ink to any downloadable assets post-event
