Inntel - Meet Better - Virtually, Hybrid or Face to Face

inntel.co.uk Virtual delegate engagement To avoid this happening, it is essential to deliver rich content which meets the delegates’ expectations of the event and offers many opportunities to participate rather than just watch. Here are some top tips to keep your delegates engaged, maximise their output and enhance their experience:  Create opportunities for delegates to regularly participate during each session. This can be done by sending them to a break-out room to discuss a topic, asking questions to be answered on a live Q&A and regular live polls  Break up the sessions. It is no longer required to hold the attention from delegates for a full conference day as they have made the effort to travel to the location. As an example, content can be delivered for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon over 2 days, allowing delegates to focus on other tasks between sessions and be fully engaged when attending  Combat virtual fatigue with more regular and longer breaks, create clear boundaries between sessions  Create networking opportunities in break-out rooms, through an event app or by including a virtual teambuilding opportunity  Give delegates ‘jobs’ to do or include gamification in your virtual events platform, this allows them to focus on something else for a period of time whilst they remain engaged with the event or meeting The largest threat to virtual delegate engagement is the opportunity to work on other tasks. This makes the delegate an observer rather than a participant.
