Will virtual events cannibalize live events? If people can attend your in-person meeting via remote access (as in a hybrid meeting) will that cut into on-site attendance? What’s wrong with just sticking a camera in the back of your meeting for remote viewers? What exactly is a virtual event anyway and why would you want one? This class breaks it all down in an easy-to-understand manner. You’ll learn when hybrid or virtual events make sense and when they don’t. And if you’re going to host one, we’ll go over best practices to ensure it’s a success.
