Virtual Events are here to stay
When the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic struck in 2020, businesses were forced to abandon in-person corporate events and move such occasions online. Businesses had no choice but to adapt corporate events, team building days, and employee celebrations, moving such occasions into the virtual world. Despite initially being greeted with varying degrees of scepticism, virtual corporate events have proved an invaluable asset to businesses around the world. From high-end client cooking experiences to ZOOM meet and greets, informal Q&A's to employee cocktail-making experiences; virtual events have transformed corporate entertainment. Whilst in-person experiences are gradually seeping back into the corporate calendar, they won't replace virtual events; rather, physical and virtual eventing will coexist. In truth, it is not that virtual events are better than in-person events or vice-versa, more so, online and physical are fundamentally different, each with their individual features, advantages and drawbacks. For example, if a company was having a small-scale employee awards evening, an in-person keynote speaker would be appropriate; conversely, if a large-scale multinational conglomerate wanted to put on an event for employees around the globe, virtual entertainment would be more suitable. With the virtual event industry projected to grow over 20% in the next 7 years, one thing is certain; virtual events are here to stay.
