Learn More About Virtual Event Platforms
are Virtual Event Platforms?
Virtual event platforms are solutions that combine different tools to organize, promote, manage and host interactive online events. Virtual event platforms provide a broadcast infrastructure while engaging virtual audiences as much as in-person events through interactive digital experiences.
To start, users must consider the event's content, financial goals, and attendee experience and choose a platform that supports all required needs. Audiences/attendees will vary and have their own unique needs, from fundraising to education/training, entertainment/shows, networking, or staying relevant. Virtual event platforms should allow users to webcast or stream live events, record events, produce interactive content, and track attendance and engagement data.
Virtual Event Platform Features
At their core, virtual event platforms allow businesses to host virtual events and webcast them out to an online audience. A primary goal that virtual event software helps accomplish is providing a stimulating and interactive digital experience for event participants.
Key features used to plan, promote, and host a virtual event include:
- Webcasting
- Event budgeting
- Online registration
- Registration portals
- Virtual waiting rooms
- Attendee tracking
- Engagement tracking
- calendar integrations
- Chat & breakout room monitoring
- Event campaign management
- Marketing and Communication
- Administration
- Engagement
- Audience polls
- Q&A
- Surveys
- Gamification tools
- Lead generation
- Analysis of business insights
When planning a virtual event, determine if the event is public or private, for example: will it be hosted publically on a social media platform or will it be a closed ticketed event? Consider convenience for viewers and look for a virtual event platform that allows access to the event's content from any device.
Virtual Event Platform Comparison
Ask yourself the following questions before purchasing a virtual event platform:
- What type of content will be presented at the event?

- Is the event private with tickets or accessible to the public?
- What type(s) of interactive experiences will the event host?
- What devices can attendees gain access to the event on?
- How many attendees are you expecting?
Before deciding to invest in a virtual event platform, take inventory of existing suite-style platforms already in use. Some larger vendors may have virtual event platform features already included. Other types of software types to look at that may include these features are:
- Event Management Platforms
- Event Registration Software
- OTT Software
