Professional/Short Course UWE Inspire Workshop Series: Planning and Delivering Virtual Events Successfully
Page last updated 5 May 2022
Introduction
The recent disruption that the coronavirus has caused has required organisations to quickly transition to running events of all shapes and sizes online rather than in the traditional in-person format.
While there will continue to be a place for full in-person events in the future, the flexibility and reach of delivering events virtually are such that organisations will continue to harness online technology and delivery of events as part of a successful engagement strategy.
However, online delivery of an event requires taking account of multiple considerations from identifying which online platform will meet your needs, how you ensure you keep your attendees engaged, and how you achieve your event objectives.
Designed to stimulate, inspire, and engage, this two-day interactive workshop will provide an opportunity for you to not only learn the fundamentals of designing and running a virtual event but also how to ensure success and the creation of a lasting legacy.
Who is it for?
The workshop is designed for individuals and SMEs who are currently running or looking to run, events in a virtual or hybrid format.
While some general event management experience would be beneficial this is not essential.
What will I get out of it?
- Identify key considerations in the selection of appropriate platforms and functionality to meet your stakeholder needs
- Understand how to set and meet clear objectives
- How to develop an immersive event that will engage your audience
- Ensure you create a positive legacy from your event
