"There’s a lot that goes into choosing the right venue. Depending on your event’s size, the duration, and the type of audience you expect, event organizers have to consider many elements of a live event venue to make sure that it works." @Accelevents https://t.co/YdNxX4i1JZ

"Event tech has come a long way in the last 2.5 years, and it will only continue to evolve. We will see how tech stacks can be leveraged on the show floor through data capture and engagement activations. " - Evan Babins @Bizzabo https://t.co/aocKwKgcO7

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"We put a lot of trust in technology and often feel like virtual event setups do not need to be rehearsed but this could not be further from the truth, particularly when you are relying on the technology to work alongside your in-person plans." @ineventapp https://t.co/J18oDcGohA

"Gamification is a fun technique that can boost engagement at online events and garner statistics about your event-goers. There are several gamification tactics that you can employ." @Accelevents https://t.co/f1CoVWu0OE

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"Events should be measurable, optimizable, and repeatable so event organizers can prove ROI and justify budgets. You can’t optimize feedback and attract sponsors with data based on assumption and guesswork." - Olivia VanCuren @webexevents https://t.co/mwRTLdnoXI

"Whatever you do in your hybrid experiences, remember that when done well, bridging the gap between the physical and the virtual helps to draw in a more engaged audience, encourages thoughtful interaction and can extend the reach of your programs." @ON24 https://t.co/Rdk4ykPiqr

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"I predict more hybrid and in-person events. It seems that people are starting not to be virtual-focused first and are going back to in-person focused with a smaller virtual presence." - Kelly Carlsted @Bizzabo https://t.co/BIbU9zHT5Y

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"Virtual event platforms differ because they allow hosts to have the flexibility to interact with attendees in a variety of ways. With virtual events platforms you can enable breakout sessions, questionnaires, Q&As, chat rooms, and more." @Hubiloconnect https://t.co/9t6n5h8DQU

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"Your strategy details how you will delight and engage attendees, demonstrate value to sponsors, promote advertising opportunities, determine who will be involved with event planning, and so much more." - Olivia VanCuren @webexevents https://t.co/Mf7ZpznPhm

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"Show your virtual audience that effective corporate networking is possible in a hybrid event. You want your audience to come back from your hybrid event with rave reviews." @Accelevents https://t.co/knir47voyj

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"One good thing about using a virtual event platform is that most of them include marketing promotion tools to help you spread the word about your upcoming event. Such features could include: widgets, email, SMS or social media marketing." @Hubiloconnect https://t.co/LDW8rmGZI9

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"A smart way to improve your presentation is to record yourself going through it. This will allow you to analyze and pinpoint problem areas, such as body language, voice clarity, and your pace—making sure you keep things on time" -Akeem Okunola @ineventapp https://t.co/3AJRCbx0Uf

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"To protect your reputation and your audience, make sure that provisioning access to your virtual event is done securely. You can also hire a cybersecurity expert to point out your vulnerabilities and help you create a security plan." - Shane Barker @ON24 https://t.co/DFvW6r2YRD

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"Working with a strong AV partner alleviates some of the stress of a hybrid event. Screen resolution, lighting, audio, video recording, internet — they’ve all been very important, but now they’re critical." @webexevents https://t.co/poJeGrsLRh

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"When choosing a venue, it’s important to consider the size of the venue (for the number of live attendees you want to host) and the location and available facilities (such as bathrooms, networking space, and equipment storage)." @ineventapphttps://zcu.io/cX0e

[PCMA DES @PCMADES]

"After your event, if possible, stay around the chat or any virtual networking spaces to answer questions and speak further to attendees. Additionally, you can record your event and make it available after the fact." - Phil Henken @Kaltura https://t.co/E44breVjMq
