The rise of digital solutions has also transformed virtual events immensely. The way knowledge is accessed and shared nowadays has removed several barriers, such as geographical and networking constraints. Globally, anyone from anywhere can get connected and communicate with acclaimed researchers, renowned industry experts, and leaders to share their ideas, collaborate to learn new concepts, and grow in their respective fields without any hassles.
A good event management tool helps event teams manage registration, check-in, and guest movement. These tools enable teams to complete their work faster and are less likely to make mistakes on busy event days.
Virtual conferences are a resource that grew in popularity when the COVID19 pandemic forced people and businesses into lockdowns and social distancing. However, as COVID-19 restrictions wind down and society and commerce start to open again, virtual events remain popular.
Many businesses report they will continue to use virtual events post-pandemic. One survey shows that virtual event marketing will be worth more than $500 billion by 2028.
It’s not hard to understand the appeal of virtual conferencing. They are safe, less prone to disruption, and have a broader reach than local events. With ever-increasing competition in the market, it only makes sense to take advantage of whatever tools are available, which should now include a quality virtual event platform to host your conference.

Using Dryfta Virtual Event Toolkit, events organizers can setup live events with live Q&A session for up to 10,000 attendees. To enable livestream and Q&A for such a large audience, we use a combination of Vimeo Livestream and Zoom.
A Zoom meeting is used by speakers to present the session and Vimeo is used to livestream that Zoom meeting to the participants watching live on Dryfta. When participants need to ask questions, they need to join the same Zoom meeting, where speakers are presenting, to ask questions.
Here’s a step-by-step process on how to set up the live event with live Q&A:
Below is a screen capture of an attendee participating in an ongoing livestream session with live Q&A:

Virtual events are becoming more and more prominent in today’s society. Not only are people more engaged and interested in them, but the opportunities they offer are numerous. Event Organizers planning virtual events are always looking for ideas to keep the attendees engaged. They employ various interactive tools like private messaging, live streaming, and state-of-the-art virtual event platforms.
For starters, an excellent virtual event should provide attendees with many levels of excitement. Start by creating a contest for attendees at your particular event to engage with your guests and yourself. You can create themes for each level and encourage people to take photos within various locations at the event. Give prizes to those who submitted the most creative, funny, or beautiful photos. This helps build up anticipation and energy throughout your entire event.
And if you feel like your last event turned out successful that means it went off without a hitch. However, don’t underestimate the power of simple gestures: gifts can remind people and they’ll appreciate them more than you know. They also establish a bond between attendees and the organizers. The more unique and thoughtful the gifts are, the more joyful and engaged attendees become.
When looking for gift ideas for a virtual event, it can be hard to think outside the box. Some people want something practical, others want something sentimental, and some people want something fun. As long as you are able to get your giftee interested in your idea, they will enjoy it!
A perceived value is a more reliable measure of effectiveness than the actual amount of money one spends. With virtual events, it’s important to give participants something that they’ll remember and appreciate more than they expected.
In this article, we’re going to share with you a list of great gift ideas that are perfect for any type of virtual event – whether it’s a launch party, a conference, or something else. With multiple categories like headphones, retro memorabilia, and upscale fashion, there’s something for every person.
