For this particular influence and authority piece, I’m interviewing myself! Virtual summits, or virtual events, are one of the best ways I know to make yourself visible and create instant authority. As an interviewer, you don’t have to be the expert, but you can gain credibility and authority through association. Here, I’m sharing some quick ideas about virtual summits that get you in the mindset that you can do this. The beauty of a virtual summit is you can do one even if you’re just starting out. As long as you know how to ask questions, it’s an amazing way to build up an audience and email list, build authority quickly, and meet other partners.

I dive into what exactly a virtual summit is and how they’re structured so you can put one together. Unlike in-person events, online events are easy to attend and people can make a last-minute decision to join. You also benefit from exposure to the audiences of your guest speakers. Everything is scheduled in advance to minimize scrambling. I share the five key ingredients of a successful virtual summit and how can use them to sell products and services. I also share tips on attracting speakers and influencers.

What’s Inside:

• How a virtual summit creates authority.
• The 5 key ingredients of a successful virtual summit.
• How to attract speakers and influencers.

I think all event planners understand conferences, tradeshows and events being planned for the latter part of 2021 and beyond will not look like meetings from the past.  Although we’d love for everything to go back the way it was a year ago, returning to live events will be more gradual than we think.  A recent Harris poll of 2,000 people revealed that 60% of those polled would not be comfortable in large events and crowds until herd immunity is achieved.  

Although creating a virtual event was hard for most of us, having online options for event attendance is what audiences in the fall and beyond now expect, so we can either fight the change or embrace it and evolve our strategy.  Because we will now have audiences that travel to the venue, those that are behind their laptops and some that do both, our goal is to create an experience that is equitable and meaningful whether the attendee is logged in or on the exhibit hall floor.

Now, many of you are likely thinking that we’ve not seen a hybrid event so we’re right back where we were a year ago...in the dark, not really understanding how to satisfy an audience that participates in the same event but in different ways. The reality is that we’ve been involved in hybrid events for decades but perhaps just didn’t think of it that way.  You may love watching football games from the comfort of your living room, listening to the sports commentators, and watching the instant replays.  However, there is another audience that traveled to the stadium and experienced the same event, but just in a different way. That football game is a good example for both audiences, despite the fact that one group watched it from home while the other was in the stands in the middle of the action. 

We still have to figure out what hybrid means when we plan our tradeshow, conference or summit, but the change is upon us and our audiences are expecting us to figure it out for the fall shows.  Listen now for  three things to consider in your virtual vs. live event strategy design.

We are getting more and more confident as more of us get vaccinated, feel comfortable to get back on an airplane, and are ready to connect at tradeshows and conferences.  Just to be on the safe side, event organizers are delaying their live shows until August and beyond to make sure that their audiences are ready to hit the show floor.

If we had a crystal ball and could have predicted how disruptive 2020 and 2021 would have been, I’m sure we would have gone to our insurance brokers and added “pandemic” as a trigger for being compensated if an event couldn’t go live and stage in Vegas, Orlando, Chicago and beyond.  So, as we get ready to go live again, how should we ensure that our audiences can see those new products from exhibitors, get their CE credits, and connect with each other?  And that our event can fund our budgets and make us a profit?

Our team has watched hundreds of exhibitors across many, many virtual trade shows and conferences that we have delivered over Cloud Conventions in 2020 working directly with a large number of companies as we helped our customers stage their event.  So many exhibitors and sponsors were hoping to get a lot of sales leads, have a crowd of attendees enter their booth and approximate their experiences from a live event.  The reality is that most of those exhibitors walked away disappointed.

Here are some lessons that we learned about what it takes to make exhibitors succeed in a virtual tradeshow, conference or event.  

When we pause, and focus on our breathing, we can transform ourselves. We can change the chemistry of our bodies, we can dampen down the anxiety in our minds, we can open up our hearts and we can find bliss.

Pause

So, to celebrate the longest night of the year, and the coming light, we're going to pause.

Peace and calm

We're going to forget about these strange times.

We're going to breathe in a profound way.

We're going to breathe in a way that reduces stress and worry.

We're going to breathe in a way that brings us peace and calm.

Live and re-play

As well as enjoying this live online event, you'll also get access to a recording of the breathing session. So, for 10 days afterwards , you'll be able to re-play the session as many times as you like, do the breathing again and enjoy all the benefits.

Zoom

This event will be taking place on Zoom. All the details of how to access the event will be emailed to you when you buy your ticket.

Please note

It is recommended that you don't take part in this breathing session if you are pregnant or epileptic. Always consult with your doctor before taking part if you have any serious health problems.

The move to virtual events in 2020 came on slowly as people believed we’d be back on the tradeshow floor in the summer.  But the harsh reality of the virus caused trade shows, annual meetings, conferences and summits to all go virtual.  Unlike simple conferencing, virtual events proved to be much more of a challenge because people were unfamiliar with technology, struggled to translate their live event into a new medium, and faced criticism for attendees who were bored and exhibitors that didn’t get a return on their investment. 

This is the first in a podcast series designed to take the lessons we have learned and offer ideas on how to operationalize them as we plan our virtual events for 2021.  2020 was the year of the “pivot”, but let’s all commit to having 2021 be the year we get it right.

This podcast series is going to focus on hosting and managing virtual shows, with regard to the lessons we learned, the mistakes we’ve made and seen our customers make and help our new industry continue to do better.  So, we’re going to start with some common mistakes and how to avoid them and then with each subsequent podcast do a deeper dive and then make all of this content available to anyone that needs it.
