For example:If you are considering hosting a virtual event, there are several options you maywant to consider. You could opt for a webinar with limited audience participation, ameeting with lots of audience participation, or you may wish to opt for a fullyintegrated and bespoke event platform which includes ample opportunities forsponsors and fantastic networking facilities. We can support in guiding you to findthe best fit solution to meet your requirements.

We are seeing an ever-increasing demand for hybrid events,and options for this are continually being developed andimproved. A format that is proving extremely popular for thistype of event, is all attendees joining the event virtually, withevent organisers and speakers being together at one centralcontrol point.

This will certainly addto the overall attendee experience, bringing a professional,polished, and fresh look. If you would like a tour of the studio,please feel free to get in touch with us, we would be more thanhappy to arrange this.We are also partnering with various venues across the countrythat will allow for safe, socially distanced hybrid events,meaning that some of your attendees can be on-site and otherscan participate virtually.

YourVision Events assisted with the delivery of what we hope will be the firstof many virtual events. We were quite apprehensive about engaging on thevirtual platform as it was very new to us.
