Before we get into what the various advantages of Virtual Events are, let us first know what a Virtual Event is. 


So what is a Virtual Event?  According to Wikipedia, “a Virtual Event is a gathering of people sharing a common virtual environment on the web, rather than meeting in a physical location. Virtual events are highly interactive, looking and feeling a lot like their physical counterparts.”

With the prices of petrol and diesel increasing and the traffic growing everyday, all companies are concerned about their increasing budgets and the time people waste on traveling and end up effecting their productivity. And so many companies are resorting to various types of virtual communication like organizing virtual events and making use of webcasting techniques in order to save costs and reduce various expenses in terms of time, travel as well as logistics.

Virtual Events can be beneficial to any organization in the following ways:

  • Reach out to larger audiences, both nationally and internationally.
  • Reduce event costs, in terms of time, travel and logistics.
  • Anyone can watch the event from anywhere, individually or in groups.
  • Eases the mental stress caused to people during traveling for meetings and trying to reach on time.
  • Helps reduce pollution, thus contributing to a green environment.
  • The on-demand services available after the event is over, increases the life-span of the event and helps the attendees re-visit the proceedings if they have missed any part.
  • Provides excellent ROI.

Most of the companies today use virtual events parallel to physical events; they amalgamate virtual event and physical events, due to the various advantages they offer. The virtual events are so convenient to organize and are so cost effective that more and more companies are using them.

In a data compiled by ON24, a San Francisco based virtual events company, the environmental benefits of virtual events show that a virtual event with 2,300 participants can reduce carbon emissions by some 3,300 tons; an estimated 17,000 trees would be needed to have a similar effect. Furthermore, a virtual event saves an average of 36,000 sheets of paper per event and can decrease both water consumption and the creation of solid waste.
