3 Ways to Enhance Speaker Experience [Apart From Selecting the Best Virtual Event Platform]10/15/2020 Once you have chosen the best virtual event platform for your upcoming conference, it is important that you take some fundamental actions to support your virtual speakers. This will ensure they get a seamless experience and are able to deliver good quality sessions at your event. Here are 3 things that you can do: 1. Prepare a speaker kit In the speaker kit, include a platform demo link and a step-by-step guide on how to enter the virtual stage and take the subsequent steps – starting from how to access the virtual conference platform, to how to view the speaker profiles, how to start and join sessions, how to connect audio and video and also how to screen share. Similarly, include another document with suggestions on how to set up for the event. This can include pointers on lighting, camera positioning, microphone setting, network testing, document preparedness, attire tips and also clearing up the background, so that they are clearly visible on screen. You can also share presentation templates and branded virtual conference backgrounds that they can use when presenting. 2. Include session moderators Moderators are critical for the success of your event. They are the main link between speakers and attendees, on the online conference platform. Other than ensuring presentations remain relevant and engaging, they provide a huge support to speakers. They are responsible for setting the stage for them (such as lining up the presentation decks and giving speaker introductions), coordinating the order of presentations, keeping track of presentation timings, ensuring discussions do not go off topic and also giving them the right exposure by selecting relevant questions from attendees, for them to answer. 3. Market your speakers Take a moment to consider what value do speakers seek from events.
Speakers attend conferences to share knowledge and ideas, network, develop connections and build their profiles. Therefore, you must make sure you address the visibility factor through interesting ways. Publicize your speakers on your event website and social media accounts, and give them a chance to showcase their experience through individual speaker profiles that attendees can view (and send chat messages and meeting requests to). Also send out timely push notifications to inform attendees about upcoming sessions and who will be speaking at them. Don’t forget, speakers are the backbone of your event! The best virtual event platform will provide you the right tools to deliver value to your virtual speakers.
