Hello Lori,
I think Rachel is spot on. We are also sending out invites 2 weeks in advance. Depending on the group or the event we do a 1 week follow to those who didn't register. We do send out a 1 day reminder to registrants and again, depending on the group or event, we may send out an 1 hour notice email. Our participation for webinars or virtual events is right around 95%.
With Cvent adding "Virtual Events" to Flex has helped out some of our units who had to switch their live events to virtual.

Subject: Opening Registration for virtual event
Hello,
How far in advance is suggested to open registration for a virtual event? We will be holding our online event in October and would typically have registration open by now, but being virtual I'm assuming we can wait until a few months out. Is there a optimal time or has anyone had any experience with this yet?
Thank you,
Lori
