COVID-19 has provided an opportunity to rethink the traditional corporate function or event. If online meetings have become the norm, how can event planners make the most of virtual events?
Now that we are several months into the COVID-19 pandemic, many foundations and organisations around the world have moved their daily operations as well as their small- and large-scale events online. Keeping up with meetings, panels and group gatherings by using video conferencing platforms is a great way to keep your work moving forward.
Virtual events might lack many of the benefits of an in-person conference: conversations over dinner; face-to-face networking; fresh perspectives that can come from simply leaving one’s home ground. But as many event planners, business owners and others have found, there’s a lot to LIKE about virtual events.
As more meetings move online — a trend likely to continue even after the pandemic fades — researchers are increasingly trying to accept the new virtual reality of social gatherings. Employees, staff and entrepreneurs are now able to listen to a bunch of talks online without leaving the comfort of their own home.
Stay interactive
Whilst virtual events might lack the intimacy of a physical gathering, but it’s still possible for attendees to connect with each other. MCO Events launched its initial virtual event service offerings with private birthdays, functions and celebrations.
The flexibility to invite your guest lists via email, text and a follow-up reminder and for guests to be in the comfort of their own homes, allows for a new way to celebrate special moments despite being in Stage 4 Metropolitan Melbourne, Victorian Lockdowns.
Our event management services maintain a high level of attention to detail, we tested and re-tested the technology with virtual sound checks with our entertainment partners to provide an exceptional run sheet, professional MC/Host as well as the coordination of speeches, and special moments like ‘the cutting of the cake and singing “Happy Birthday”‘ to the birthday star. Providing additional event services like a live DJ set means guests enjoy entertainment together and can dance, and drink together, just like an in-person event. It just takes a little creativity and willingness to move past the initial awkwardness between guests to make it a very fun and memorable night for all!
