Vicky Huang, who is a Senior Meeting Technology Advisor with over 8 years of Cvent experience, will be here in the Open Forum to answer your questions. Vicky recently worked with a client to move their educational breakfast seminar to a webcast and had the attendee list grow exponentially once it moved virtual.   You can learn more about Vicky's event in her virtual events success story. 

As questions arise other Cvent staff who have assisted moving events virtual may chime in with their relevant experiences as well.

Here's how it works:

This thread will reopen April 22, at Noon-1:00 ET, and you can reply with your questions.  If you are not sure if you can make it live, please send your question for Vicky to communitymanager@cvent.com. I am happy to post it on your behalf in the community.

Hi everyone,

My name is Vicky Huang and I am a Senior Meeting Technology Advisor. As we all know, a lot of events facing cancellation due to Coronavirus outbreak. Event planners are in urgent need to save their event budget and find virtual event solutions. I wanted to share my story about how my client hosted a successful Cvent-Talkpoint integrated registration website can secure your event by going virtual, and how it grew their attendee pool when we changed from in-person to webcast.

So, what happened? Our educational breakfast seminar was expecting 80+ top clients from the Finance industry to attend in person on 26 March 2020. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, 2 weeks before the event date, the event host made a tough decision to cancel the venue, converting the event from in person to deliver via live stream. 88 invitees had already registered in Cvent for the in person event at this point.

Fortunately, this Cvent account already had in place an API integration between Cvent Event Cloud and Talkpoint webcasting system. This allowed the Events team to react immediately using the same platform – Cvent – on event marketing and attendee communications. Within the same day, the Cvent registration website was updated with content relevant to the webcast; an email notification was sent to the existing 88 registrants about the event format change to live stream. All the registrants needed to do was re-visit their personalized Cvent registration confirmation page and 1 click on the "Access Webcast" button to see the webcast live. The next day, the event host team blasted another invitation email from Eloqua to the no-response invitees, within a week, 300+ new registration for the webcast. 24 hours prior to the event, a webcast reminder with login instructions automatically went out from Cvent to 400+ registered. Eventually 200+ attended the event online, 3 times higher than initially planned turnout!

This is a strange time to be an event planner, and I am so excited to be able to answer any questions you might have on my story. Please post any questions you have below, and I will be online until 1pm!

Hi everyone,

My name is Vicky Huang and I am a Senior Meeting Technology Advisor. As we all know, a lot of events facing cancellation due to Coronavirus outbreak. Event planners are in urgent need to save their event budget and find virtual event solutions. I wanted to share my story about how my client hosted a successful Cvent-Talkpoint integrated registration website can secure your event by going virtual, and how it grew their attendee pool when we changed from in-person to webcast.

So, what happened? Our educational breakfast seminar was expecting 80+ top clients from the Finance industry to attend in person on 26 March 2020. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, 2 weeks before the event date, the event host made a tough decision to cancel the venue, converting the event from in person to deliver via live stream. 88 invitees had already registered in Cvent for the in person event at this point.

Fortunately, this Cvent account already had in place an API integration between Cvent Event Cloud and Talkpoint webcasting system. This allowed the Events team to react immediately using the same platform – Cvent – on event marketing and attendee communications. Within the same day, the Cvent registration website was updated with content relevant to the webcast; an email notification was sent to the existing 88 registrants about the event format change to live stream. All the registrants needed to do was re-visit their personalized Cvent registration confirmation page and 1 click on the "Access Webcast" button to see the webcast live. The next day, the event host team blasted another invitation email from Eloqua to the no-response invitees, within a week, 300+ new registration for the webcast. 24 hours prior to the event, a webcast reminder with login instructions automatically went out from Cvent to 400+ registered. Eventually 200+ attended the event online, 3 times higher than initially planned turnout!

This is a strange time to be an event planner, and I am so excited to be able to answer any questions you might have on my story. Please post any questions you have below, and I will be online until 1pm!
