Virtual Events

The health crisis we are going through is hindering the exchanges that congresses made possible.

However, the major challenges to be met require cohesion and communication: ensuring the continuity of care, rethinking the economy, maintaining links between community members, ensuring the sustainability of research projects, etc. The pandemic is changing the links that unite your community and adapting to this situation is a major challenge!

EO Africa (EOA) is here to guide you in choosing and implementing the best digital solution, the one perfectly adapted to your needs. Webinars,Virtual Conferences and Hybrid Events our digital offerings are vast.

Health & Safety - An alternative during COVID-19 pandemic

This is the first and foremost reason why virtual events matter more than ever. Owing to the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdowns imposed - social distancing is the need of the hour. Going virtual will not be a compromise on any health and safety issues, by not having any physical attendees means you don't have to worry about a venue, catering or attendee health and safety.

Larger audience and enhanced visibility

The biggest advantage of virtual events is that location is not a restriction anymore, attendees will have zero travel or accommodation costs, which allows you to reach out to a new set of delegates which is practically not feasible in case of face-to-face events. With the right strategy, you can retain these attendees later when you are back to face-to-face events.

Lesser risks involved

Contingency planning is a crucial element of physical events. The risk is quite high and it involves hefty financial risk if the event gets postponed because of any reason. On the other hand, there are lesser risks involved when you are going virtual. Even if you need to postpone it (because of any reason), it’s feasible to do so. Thanks to the ease of finances, many sponsors are looking forward to investing in virtual events.

Changing priorities of partnerships

Cancellation of events brings a loss from the sponsors and the exhibitors however virtual events can be very valuable to event sponsors. By hosting a virtual event, you will still be providing the marketing and networking opportunities to these partnerships. Inform sponsors of your audience segments and design specific sponsorship tiers that are unique to the virtual experience.

It’s easy to collect feedback

Like in-person events, feedback is crucial for virtual events. But unlike in-person events, attendees are constantly online at virtual events, which means they can easily answer real-time polls or surveys in sessions. Not only will this real-time feedback help presenters gauge how their session is going but it will also be useful to measure the overall success of your virtual event.

Go green!

By adopting virtual events over traditional a face to face events, your congress can demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability. Virtual events are the perfect fit for those that want to operate in a more environmentally-friendly fashion.
