In a time of physical distancing, a virtual magic show provide an opportunity to bring people together through shared experiences that are filled with wonder and joy.

But how does it all work for an online event?

It’s pretty straightforward. Every segment of an act -- be it close-up magic, mind-reading, sleight-of-hand demonstrations -- is done online via video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams.

Multiple people from all over the world can join in the fun. Family members, friends, colleagues, associates can experience everything together. Plus, they get to see each other’s reactions, which makes things even more entertaining.

Virtual vs Hybrid Events: What You Need to Know

Virtual vs Hybrid Events: What You Need to Know

Events are and will continue to be one of the most effective ways for organizations to connect and communicate with team members, partners, customers, and more.

But as society changes and new challenges arise, events change, as well.

In 2020, businesses and nonprofit organizations have found themselves in need to pivot to the online medium.

And thanks to technology, they have the possibility of choosing from two main options: virtual vs hybrid events.

In this article, we’ll talk about the main differences between the two, so you can more easily figure out which one is right for you. Let’s get to it.

Virtual vs Hybrid Events: What You Need to Know

Main Differences

The first thing you should know when shifting physical to virtual events is that fully digital events are developed in a virtual online platform, whereas hybrids include elements from both physical events and virtual ones.

As the name suggests, hybrids are a combination of the two worlds (the digital and the physical world), offering physical and online experiences simultaneously.

Therefore, as part of a hybrid meeting, attendees can choose to either take part in the activities in-person or online.

This is possible by broadcasting an in-person event online via live transmission or by configuring a virtual space that mirrors the physical event.

Pros and Cons You Should Know of Virtual vs Hybrid Events

Hybrids events have the advantage of providing guests with the best of both worlds. The interactivity imparted by the face-to-face version side of the event is complemented by the convenience provided by the digital component.

However, online events are much easier to orchestrate and less expensive to produce, as they don’t require the same level of logistics as a hybrid event. This translates into higher profitability.

Plus, they are fully compliant with social distancing measures.

Furthermore, it’s now possible to create engaging, immersive moments guests can experience together to feel more connected, despite physical barriers.

Booking an entertainment act that is designed for remote audiences can significantly help with that. Here are a few suggestions to take into account:

  • Virtual Magic Show. Who says online events have to lack interactivity? Book magician Ben Seidman! His show was designed with audience participation in mind.
  • Stand-up comedy act. Marty Simpson specializes in observational comedy and is sure to leave your virtual attendees rolling in the aisles.
  •  Virtual keynote speakers. Have a professional speaker, such as Merit Kahn, deliver a powerful presentation that will captivate your virtual attendees. Her virtual programs are designed to help organization leaders shift their sales messaging and maintain calm to overcome challenging times.
  • An unexpected mix of comedy and magic. Count on Heather Rogers to make your audience laugh and think with her Cybersecurity Awareness keynote, which fuses comedy and magic to boost productivity and relieve stress.

Hybrid Events

Virtual vs Hybrid Events to the Next Level with Great Entertainment

The recent rapid changes in the event industry are unprecedented, and keeping up with the virtual pivot can feel overwhelming. But change can also make room for exciting new opportunities.

If you want to host digital events that are fun and engaging, we’re here to help out by providing access to a wide array of innovative entertainers who can perform at your event.

Start browsing through our list now, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (615) 283-0039 in case you have any questions on Virtual vs Hybrid Events.  The Grable Group is the leading booking agency for virtual events.

Virtual events seem to be the norm in 2020, as they offer people the chance to stay safe and healthy, while at the same time allowing them to spend their time in an entertaining way.

To maximize the potential of a virtual program, you will need a professional to help moderate it.

And in this following article, we will present you with 3 main reasons why your virtual event needs a virtual meeting moderator.

3 Reasons Why A Virtual Event Needs A Virtual Meeting Moderator

1. Your Virtual Event Is Left in Good Hands

It cannot be denied that the internet is very unpredictable, and in the case of a virtual event, there is always the risk of something not going according to plan.

This can lead to a lot of unpleasant experiences for the viewer and can directly affect the event’s retention rate.

When it comes to situations like these, a virtual moderator is a professional who knows how to soften the blow dealt by many uncomfortable occurrences and even turn things around.

A virtual meeting moderator with decades of on-camera and on-stage experience has dealt with unpleasantries before and knows how to act accordingly.

Jeff Civillico has extensive Television and On-Camera experience.  Jeff is already known in the corporate industry as a “Double Threat Emcee” with an equal skill level on-stage and on-camera.  His portfolio is full of past technology clients: AT&T, AT&T Business, Avast, Centrify, Cisco, Emerson Global, Equinix, Fluke Networks, Image Technologies Corp, iModules, Internet Marketing Association, Lightwave Telecom, Netscout, Neustar, Powerschool User Group, Sprint, Vistex, Workday, Workfront, World Wide Technologies, Xactware, and many others.  He’s comfortable on LiveStream platforms like Zoom, Facebook and Instagram Live, Streamyard, BLive, etc.

2. Keeps the Audience Engaged

Despite the fact they are not physically present at the event, it can be argued that virtual audiences are more challenging to deal with than actual live audiences.

The virtual event needs to be engaging so that they feel they’re always a part of it and not left out. While some viewers tend to be more active, there is the silent majority, which is watching.

With the help of a virtual meeting moderator, you can make the event’s experience more palatable for all viewers and assure they won’t click away.

The virtual moderator can bring up all kinds of on-stream activities in which the viewers can participate or can even interact with them directly, by asking questions or having the audience cast votes on what they would like to see next.

3. Can Transmit Your Company’s Message

Since the viewer base is at home, it’s understandable that virtual events are more isolating and may lead to a disconnect between the event’s experience and the viewer.

Because of this, event organizers have a more challenging time reaching out to the audience or communicating a message to them. Sure, you can prompt messages during the stream, or you can have ad breaks, but that doesn’t assure the viewers will be interested to see them.

In the case of ads, they might disenfranchise some of the viewers and may hurt the viewer count.

A good moderator knows how to package your company’s message in a way it feels more digestible so that it doesn’t take away from the event’s experience.

Have a Virtual Meeting Moderator Take Care of Your Next Event

Having someone to moderate your events will ensure the experience will be more impactful than it has been before. And trust us that the difference can be noticed immediately!

In this case, why not book a moderator for your upcoming virtual events?

With social distancing measures in place all over the world, more and more organizations are turning to technology to host virtual events and connect with their audience.

Technology has made many things possible. However, there is no denying that online events have a different kind of energy and dynamic compared to in-person events, which can translate in a lack of engagement.

The good news is that audience engagement is still possible at a live broadcasting or virtual event.

Keep reading to discover a few practical tips which will help you engage your virtual attendees so that you can maximize the impact of your online event.

How to Engage Your Virtual Attendees: Practical Tips You Should Know

Reach out Before the Event Takes Place

This may sound counterintuitive, but interacting with your virtual guests before the virtual event is an effective way to get them invested in your event.

Here are a few ideas to consider:

  • Reach out to your guests to get their input on different discussion topics you’ve prepared for the event. See if there are any talking points they would add to the list.
  • Create a survey to figure out if your audience has any requirements, which will make them feel more comfortable and improve their experience during the event.
  • Encourage them to send in questions they would like the speakers to answer live during the event.

This is how you make attendees feel more involved in the event, which will likely translate into them being more engaged on the day of the actual event, as well.

Provide Multiple Opportunities for Engagement

One of the best ways to engage your virtual attendees is to offer them different ways to participate directly at the event by using interactive features.

For example, you could have a live chat where attendees could ask questions in real-time. The virtual event moderator/host can then choose a few of those questions and read them out loud to the speakers and the general audience.

Or, you could use integrate live polls to have guests choose the next topic of discussion.

Another idea is to reserve a few minutes at the end of the event where guests can weigh in and share their notes or personal experiences related to the topic of the virtual program.

Make sure to announce this at the start of the event so that people have time to write down their ideas.

This way, you avoid catching them off-guard, and you make sure people will pay attention throughout the event.

A Professional Host Can Help You Engage Your Virtual Attendees

Booking a virtual host to moderate the event will help create continuity and hold the attention of your participants, as the conversation moves from one talking point to another.

But that’s not all.

A virtual event host with an energizing presence can encourage guests to interact with each other and ask questions. Also, a host can re-focus the audience’s attention during critical parts of the event.

Finally, by clearly emphasizing key messages, a professional host can help remote audiences get to the heart of every session.

All of this will help drive deeper engagement at your event.

There’s a reason why Jeff’s portfolio is full of past technology clients: AT&T, AT&T Business, Avast, Centrify, Cisco, Emerson Global, Equinix, Fluke Networks, Image Technologies Corp, iModules, Internet Marketing Association, Lightwave Telecom, Netscout, Neustar, Powerschool User Group, Sprint, Vistex, Workday, Workfront, World Wide Technologies, Xactware, and many others.  Jeff’s transition to the virtual space will be seamless.  He’s comfortable on LiveStream platforms like Zoom, Facebook and Instagram Live, Streamyard, BLive, etc.
