Do Live Online Events Now Provide A Better User Experience Than Attending In Person?

WATCHFIELD, U.K. - Dec. 11, 2023 - PRLog -- Event organisers seem to be slowly moving back to planning physical events. Our video director Tom examines if live online events now provide a better user experience than attending in person. Does physically attending an event still really offer the attendee the best experience and provide you with the best return on investment?

"The first thing to consider is the type of event you're planning and the reason for the event. Does it rely on face-to-face interaction in order for the attendee to get the most from it, for example from networking from fellow delegates." Tom explains.

"Having broadcast many events that would have only been attended physically I know that attending an online or blended event gives the viewer a much more rounded and very often an enhanced experience." describes Tom. Let's explain why.

INTERACTION
Physical: If you're like me and at a talk you don't really want to put your hand up to ask a question. Event organisers have no way to moderate a person's question before they stand up or limit how long they talk for. I've seen this cause awkward exchanges between the panel and delegates. It can also take a lot of time for a range of people to ask questions.

Online: Using a good online platform like Slido allows you to create word-clouds and polls with which viewers can quickly interact. We use this with some of our clients' broadcasts very effectively, normally embedding the interaction tools on the same branded web page we build for the client's event.
