Human beings are by nature social animals which contact/interact with each other as our brain wants it & we might all have realised this during the lockdown.

We are all slightly turning to Homo Webiens. As most events are happening online, which in the beginning looked like a great opportunity for event managers but there's an uncertainty of the audience in virtual events rather than offline events.

Nowadays people are looking for those events in which they get some practical knowledge & it doesn't matter if it is given by any celebrity or influencer or a professional. So now we have to focus on delivering some different information by which they can enhance their skills, knowledge, issues, etc.

The Event Managers have to take care of every technical aspect; in offline events we can use technology and everything doesn't rely on a stable internet connection, software system, etc.

The difference in time zones of the audience makes a virtual event a lot harder. Also they are a lot less personal as the networking with people is just the same as doing it in person.

If the platform used for an event is intuitive, it can cause trouble because the audience won't want to spend too much time figuring out how to use the platform.

The hardest part in organising virtual events is to attract people as the event should look like some great cumshaw to attract the audience. It's almost very easy for people to walk away from these events because if any of the speaker babble for about 50-60 seconds - and you will see the participants leaving the event. The lack of interaction can kill even the most exciting subject, & thus potentially a whole event. To make it more engaging, we can have Q&A sessions, quick polls or let them share their own ideas.
