While hybrid events have increased drastically since the start of the pandemic, this communications method isn’t new for many businesses. Here are a few things to know when connecting with large audiences via the web.
Choose the Right Tech for Your Next Webcast
If hybrid event hosting is brand new to you, you might want to invest in an all-in-one solution that is ready to go. This type of tech can meet the needs of both in-person and virtual audiences as well. Tech like GlobalMeet Webcast allows businesses to use their own audio-video technology or utilize the Webcast Production Services team for support. Get ready to wow your audiences with the state-of-the-art technology that is all part of the GlobalMeet Webcast offerings.
Create Opportunities for Interaction, for Both Virtual and In-Person Audiences
With the right tools, virtual audiences can feel like they are right on location, while connecting online from anywhere. Multi-screen experiences via laptop or desktop computer are available, as well as mobile device connectivity. While watching a presentation on a computer, at-home audiences can also ask questions via their smartphone and fully interact with a presentation just like in real time. Options like responding to polls and chatting with the rest of the attendees are all possible in the most convenient ways.
In-person attendees can also participate using their mobile devices. Engagement with presenters and other attendees has never been accessible like it is now.
No audience will feel left out with this advanced technology, allowing in-person and virtual audiences the same opportunities to take surveys and see real-time results from wherever they feel like tuning in from.
Collaborate with Professionals for Support
While some of the planning stages might be the same, no two virtual events are ever the same. When you need some extra attention for your event, opt into professional support. On-site webcast support is available for:
- Technology
- Scheduling
- Service and support
- Content
- Logistics
Webcast specialists, like producers and encoding techs, AV crews for production and live-to-tape recording management, and even makeup artists and voice-over actors are accessible through GlobalMeet Webcast. Have a need for on-air talent? Don’t worry, we can help you connect with not only talent, but also to foreign and domestic state-of-the-art broadcast studios to make sure your event feels as professional as possible.
