Organising Successful Virtual Events
by Pollicy
Our first virtual event focused on introducing participants to virtual events and we explored options and tips for carrying out successful virtual events.
The Biggest Disadvantage of Webinar Platforms
For hosting virtual events, organizers generally use a webinar platform like Zoom and share a link to the webinar on their event website. This setup, however, means participants have to check-in to sessions on your event website. Then they’re redirected to the associated Zoom webinar that would open in a Zoom desktop client. Participants then flock back to the site and check-in to another session and are redirected again to the associated Zoom webinar. So, they have to switch between the website and the webinar platform continuously.
The Biggest Advantage of Live-Streaming
As a better alternative, if you want to improve the participants’ experience, so they do not have to move out of the website and go to Zoom to watch the webinar for each session, you can Livestream webinars on your website. This setup lets you offer a branded user experience, ability to monetize through multiple channels and provide audience engagement tools to participants and exhibitors right within the website.
In this article, we will talk about the steps required to Live-stream your virtual sessions on your event website. For this tutorial, we have used the following tools:
Using Certificate Builder, conference organizers can customize & print certificates for participants. It also takes care of the distribution with multiple distribution channels to choose from. Read on to know more.
Import your Contacts
You can either add contacts one by one, or let them register on their through a public form. Optionally, if you already have their information in a spreadsheet, simply import the spreadsheet into your Dryfta account at once. Once your contacts are imported, you can assign different usertypes to them eg. participants, speakers, organizing staff etc.
Design & Customize Participation Certificates
Go to Certificate Builder and start designing participation certificates for your attendees, students, speakers and general staff. You can design separate certificate for each usertype. When customizing the design of your certificate, you may also upload the conference/seminar’s logo, authorized signatory for the certificate, dynamic information about the participant, sponsors’ logos, additional information about the conference/seminar among other things.
We listened to your feedback and released an update to the form builder tool. The new changes are a great time saver requiring a lot less clicks for creating/copying a field.
Instead of clicking on the Add new field button to add a field, admin would now be displayed with the floating field types in the right side of the form.
They can select a field type to easily add a new field. On selecting a field type, it would open the field editor where admin would enter the field name for the field type selected.
If you host plenty of sessions at your conference, scheduling them must have been no easy task! There’re just so many variables to deal with. Venues, Speakers, Moderators, Presentations, Tracks, Days, Time slots. Multiply that with 10s and 100s of Sessions and you have thousands of probabilities to think about.
For many conferences, offering participation certificates to attendees is a vital part of the experience. These certificates not only serve as proof of attendance but also as a token of appreciation for the delegates’ time and effort. Dryfta’s Certificate Builder tool has been helping organizers generate and print certificates with ease, even allowing attendees to access and print their certificates through a self-service dashboard.
However, there was still a gap in the process: organizers were responsible for distributing the certificates, often requiring additional manpower, time, and resources. Attendees, on the other hand, had to navigate to the self-service dashboard to manually download and print their certificates—a step that added unnecessary friction to the process.
Recognizing this challenge, the team at Dryfta set out to create a more streamlined, efficient solution. We asked ourselves: How can we make certificate distribution even easier for both organizers and attendees? The answer lay in removing unnecessary steps and delivering the certificates directly to attendees’ inboxes.
To achieve this, we introduced the “Send Certificates” button—a simple, powerful feature that enables organizers to email certificates directly to selected groups, such as attendees, speakers, or reviewers. With just a click, certificates are sent to the recipients’ inboxes, eliminating the need for manual distribution or extra steps.
The process is simple and intuitive:
The “Send Certificates” button isn’t just a convenience—it’s a game-changer for event organizers and participants alike. Here’s why:
This enhancement was not only logical but essential. It aligns with Dryfta’s commitment to creating intuitive, user-friendly solutions that reduce workload and enhance the attendee experience. By addressing this need, we’ve streamlined an important aspect of post-event communication, making life easier for organizers while delivering added value to attendees.
Whether you’re planning a small academic seminar or a large-scale conference, Dryfta’s “Send Certificates” feature ensures that participation certificates are delivered effortlessly—no extra steps, no wasted resources.
