Since then, WorkCast has run over 10,000 events for more than 2 million attendees across more than 20 countries.

What is a Virtual Event?

 

Virtual events are large, multi-session online events that can feature both webinars and webcasts. 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.

Types of Virtual Events

WorkCast currently offers five main types of virtual events, including: 

  • University & College Virtual Open Days
  • Virtual Conferences
  • Virtual Careers Fairs
  • Virtual Trade Shows
  • Virtual Benefits Fairs

Virtual Events FAQs

How do you host a virtual 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 Stratus
  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
What are the different types of virtual events?

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.

    • Webinars: online seminars that enable presenters to connect with audiences and exchange information

    • 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
