Samantha Gabriel, group experiences director of CWDi, says, "The key is to master the engagement of audiences and to still retain the humanness of it all. Content is king, beautifully designed presentations are essential and the chat functionality and facilitation will be what takes the experience from good to great." 

"A virtual event is a multi-session online event allowing people to interact in a virtual environment — allowing connection of audiences from next door to across the globe. The solution being offered means corporate conferences can still go ahead, activations can be moved online, launches and more can go on," says Gabriel.

"We are thinking ahead and believe that virtual events will become an essential part of corporate marketing strategies as they not only offer flexibility and convenience but also highly interactive," she says.
