Happy Wednesday everyone! Let's kickstart with our next edition of the Tip of the Week discussion!   Whether you've been using virtual meetings for years or you're a beginner looking to learn more, we hope you find some insight into the power of virtual connection here. 

Differences Between Virtual Meetings and Virtual Events 

A virtual event, like an in-person event, tends to have multiple sessions. These allow attendees to customize their event experiences to best fit their interests. However, for virtual meetings, there is only one session for all meeting attendees. 

• Choosing the Right Virtual Meeting Platform
• Can it record your meetings? 
• Does it have chat capabilities?  
• Does it sync meeting invitations with your calendar?  
• Can you personalize meeting rooms?  
• Are there engagement features?  
• Can you edit documents in real time?  

Once you choose a virtual meeting provider, it is equally important to have an event technology software that will help you to manage your meetings program.  

 Benefits of Virtual Meetings 

As the pandemic has taught us, the workforce can not only function remotely but can excel, as well, and virtual meetings have played a critical role in making the transition to remote work possible. But what else can virtual meetings offer your organization?  

Environmentally Friendly - One amazing benefit of hosting virtual meetings is the positive impact on the environment similar to green meetings. Think about all the various factors that might go into an in-person meeting.  

Low Cost - In addition to a going green, switching some of your in-person meetings to virtual platforms may save you money.  

Connection That Spans the Globe - Virtual meetings allow you to connect easily and effectively, and to develop relationships with people you otherwise may not have been able to meet as frequently – or at all – in person. 

Ability to Pivot Quickly - The ability to host virtual meetings in place of in-person ones has helped businesses around the world maintain productivity and some semblance of normalcy during these challenging times. 

Bringing the Fun to Virtual Meets 

Below are just a few ideas to make your next virtual meeting a little more creative: 

Bring your pet to work.  

Showcase your artistic side by uploading a new background on your next virtual meeting.  

And remember – it's 5 o'clock somewhere! Take time out of your stressful day and host a team happy hour virtually.  

 Questions for you: 

• How do you embrace the positive aspects of virtual meetings?  
• How often do you host virtual meetings? Options – Daily, weekly, Monthly, or once in a while 

As always, feel free to drop in your suggestions in the comment section below!

 Benefits of Virtual Meetings 

As the pandemic has taught us, the workforce can not only function remotely but can excel, as well, and virtual meetings have played a critical role in making the transition to remote work possible. But what else can virtual meetings offer your organization?  

Environmentally Friendly - One amazing benefit of hosting virtual meetings is the positive impact on the environment similar to green meetings. Think about all the various factors that might go into an in-person meeting.  

Low Cost - In addition to a going green, switching some of your in-person meetings to virtual platforms may save you money.  

Connection That Spans the Globe - Virtual meetings allow you to connect easily and effectively, and to develop relationships with people you otherwise may not have been able to meet as frequently – or at all – in person. 

Ability to Pivot Quickly - The ability to host virtual meetings in place of in-person ones has helped businesses around the world maintain productivity and some semblance of normalcy during these challenging times.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Let's kickstart with our next edition of the Tip of the Week discussion!   Whether you've been using virtual meetings for years or you're a beginner looking to learn more, we hope you find some insight into the power of virtual connection here. 

Differences Between Virtual Meetings and Virtual Events 

A virtual event, like an in-person event, tends to have multiple sessions. These allow attendees to customize their event experiences to best fit their interests. However, for virtual meetings, there is only one session for all meeting attendees. 

• Choosing the Right Virtual Meeting Platform
• Can it record your meetings? 
• Does it have chat capabilities?  
• Does it sync meeting invitations with your calendar?  
• Can you personalize meeting rooms?  
• Are there engagement features?  
• Can you edit documents in real time?  

Once you choose a virtual meeting provider, it is equally important to have an event technology software that will help you to manage your meetings program.
