Virtual conferences aren’t a groundbreaking idea anymore, but event planners are continually learning how to use them in groundbreaking ways. What grew out of necessity is quickly turning into a benefit, with new ways to connect and explore with people around the globe.
One of the many benefits is a hybrid element, which includes the best of in-person and virtual events. With new ways to creatively connect, inspire, and share, event planners are excited to learn how to leverage hybrid events to their fullest potential.
Learn how virtual conferences work, which key components you need to include to really stand out in your field, and how going hybrid may be the trick in a post-pandemic world. Plus, check out our list of the best virtual events and conferences to attend and be inspired by in 2024.
What is a Virtual Conference and How Does it Work?
Virtual conferences are just that — conferences that you attend virtually on the web. Conferences tend to be larger events that can last days or weeks, depending on the purpose, as opposed to shorter events such as webinars.
Virtual attendees can register, pay for their ticket, and hop on from wherever they are in the world, engaging in content digitally and enjoying all aspects of the conference in an online format.
The best virtual conferences are packed with interactive components tied to trademark conference staples, such as networking opportunities, breakout sessions, engagement tools, keynote speakers, and gamification.
Exciting content such as virtual tours and workshops are also becoming common in the digital event world.
Virtual Conference vs. Virtual Event: What’s the Difference?
Virtual conferences are a type of virtual event. While there are a variety of virtual events, virtual conferences include many elements of traditional conferences, and sometimes other types of virtual events. Ultimately, they’re longer, larger, and more involved.
In addition to conferences, other virtual event types include:
- Webinars
- Expos
- Concerts and festivals
- Trade shows
- Job fairs
- Trainings
- Summits
The length and scope of virtual conferences results in many exciting virtual opportunities. With a larger audience and longer time length, the options for creativity are endless. How far can you extend your reach? What types of engaging, immersive content and activities can you add?
An event app can be a great event engagement and management component to a virtual or hybrid conference. Check out the 25 best conference + mobile event apps for 2024.
8 Key Components Every Virtual Conference Needs
Some event planners still worry that it’s too difficult to keep virtual attendees engaged, especially when it comes to holding a multi-day conference. But it’s more than possible to break out of that box. Consider how to build these key components into your conference for a richer, more engaging experience for attendees.
From virtual entertainment to sponsorships, learn how you can make a digital or hybrid conference just as exciting — or more exciting — than its fully in-person counterpart.
#1) Solidify Your Message With a Keynote
Keynotes are an essential element of conferences. They define the main theme of the event in a moving and inspiring way, often by tying together personal stories with important ideas that are true to the event goals.
Keynotes can be used to set the tone for the event and introduce the purpose, they can be strategically placed throughout the event, or at the end to wrap up certain aspects or ideas. No matter where you choose to place the keynote, this speaker often has a certain level of influence and can draw more attention and attendance.
Keynotes teach, inspire, and entertain attendees, while simultaneously solidifying your message and connecting with your audience. The most exciting part about keynotes in a virtual setting is the ability to obtain wider-reaching connections. Your message can be viewed globally, and shared on all platforms.
#2) Deliver an Experience With the Right Virtual Conference Platform and Event Technology
You might have all the perfect speakers, content, and experiences planned — but do you have the right platform and technology to deliver it? The most important part of a successful virtual event is having the right software.
Choose wisely, because not all platforms are created the same. It must be capable of easily handling your audience size, engagement tools, virtual entertainment, integrations, and more. And don’t forget about security and analytics.
Evaluate your current event tech stack, and research which platforms will support it. On the other hand, if you’re feeling ambitious, find your ideal virtual event platform and update your tech stack to match it.

#3) Start the Conversation With Breakout Sessions, Round Tables, and Panel Discussions
To combat the idea that virtual elements lack engagement, pack in all the opportunities you can. Include breakout sessions for networking opportunities and Q&As, round tables for specific topic discussion and exploration, and panel discussions to share various perspectives from industry experts and leaders.
In a hybrid setting, users can join in virtually from the physical event with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone if they’re interested, allowing the opportunity to network with all attendees. Add collaborative tools for interaction or brainstorming.
You also can create these breakout spaces for casual conversation and lunch breaks, where attendees can chat and network in a relaxed setting.
#4) Educate With Workshops and Demonstrations
Everybody values a learning opportunity, and workshops and demonstrations lend themselves perfectly to a virtual or hybrid world. Presenters can even bring attendees into their home, office, or workshop by filming demonstrations of their product or idea. They can share their screens for how-tos, and upload other content and graphics.
Use engagement tools such as live chats, polls, or Q&As so presenters can view and respond during the demonstration. Attendees can take quizzes or surveys after the workshops to test their knowledge or share thoughts and feedback.

#5) Build Credibility With Sponsorships
Worried about how to incorporate sponsors into the virtual side of your event? Fortunately, you have plenty of cool options:
- Place sponsors on your virtual platform with banners, graphics, or video ads
- Feature sponsor-provided speakers, keynotes, or workshops
- Encourage sponsors to send swag or gifts to attendees
- Collaborate with sponsors on virtual networking or after-parties with entertainment
- Work together on social media content and promotions
Discover what ideas your sponsors may have, and how they would like to see these ideas executed with your unique goals and specific platform in mind.
#6) Offer Every Opportunity to Network
In-person conferences are known to be huge networking opportunities. Sophisticated virtual event platforms were built with this understanding, so they allow for networking chances at every turn.
Allow your audience to connect on discussion boards based on common interests, and break into small groups or one-on-one chats. Attendees can find each other based on who is nearby, share personal QR codes, and exchange contact details.
Make games and activities natural icebreakers using gamification, encouraging friendly competitions that connect more people and result in points and prizes.
Incorporate an event app as well to offer attendees the opportunity to interact and keep up with event announcements on their smartphones.

#7) Engage with (Virtual) Entertainment
The key to providing valuable entertainment is knowing your audience. Provide surveys and polls ahead of events to discover what types of entertainment they would like to see to break up or end the day. Understand what kind of content will make people forget they’re at a computer, and become immersed in something fun and engaging.
Consider these types of entertainment:
- Live performers
- Virtual travel opportunities
- Game shows based on live participation
- Photo streams sharing the unique surroundings of attendees at home
Have your team brainstorm the most creative ways to engage your audience in a way that fits your brand and image.
#8) Make it Valuable With VIP Experiences and Curated Digital Swag
Create opportunities for people to get more out of the event, if they choose, with VIP experiences. With a special VIP ticket, what can you offer to attendees that takes the event up a notch and still expresses your goals and values?
Consider exclusive networking sessions or one-on-ones with experts in the industry, special entertainment opportunities, early access to sessions or VIP-only sessions, vouchers for food or entertainment in the area, and, of course, plenty of gifts and swag.
The best part about swag for virtual events is that you can mail them swag packages filled with branded gifts. These boxes will make great shareable photos for social media.

Planning a Conference? Here’s Why You Should Go Hybrid
While in-person and virtual conferences each have their own strengths and benefits, together they make one powerful event: the hybrid conference. With hybrid events, you can fulfill multiple needs and create unique experiences for your audience, no matter where they are.
Having an in-person component to your conference with a venue, speakers, and live audience can be exciting for virtual attendees, adding another vibrant dimension to those who are tuning in on their phones or computers.
Helping virtual attendees feel part of the action is more fulfilling and entertaining — plus, you’re reaching many more people and gathering valuable engagement data.
Dynamic Reach and Engagement
Creating a hybrid conference meets multiple preferences, allowing a much farther reach and greater audience satisfaction. You will attract those who prefer, and are able to attend, an in-person experience, while still providing the opportunity to connect with those who are unable to attend in person.
The best part? You’re able to connect in-person and virtual attendees through event apps and technology. This widens networking opportunities, and gives each type of attendee a feel for the other’s unique experience.
Data, Data and More Data
When events were exclusively in-person, it could be difficult to gather accurate data on attendees and their points of engagement. With the technology available with today’s virtual event platforms, you can track just about anything, including:
- Attendance
- Costs
- Engagement rate
- Which sessions were most popular
- Email click-through rate (CTR)
Analyzing these event metrics will help you see which sessions, speakers, and content were effective so you can improve future events and enhance your brand.
Boosted Event ROI
You will easily boost your event ROI with a hybrid conference, because you’re providing many more engagement opportunities for attendees and are able to simply and instantly track it. Plus, you can use these sophisticated tracking tools to understand how to better target content in the future.
With the right virtual event platform, you also can continue to interact with participants long after the event, in the form of social media content, blog posts, surveys, emails, and more.
The single best way to boost your ROI is to make sure your event goals are clearly defined in the first place. This is especially important in the hybrid event world, where your goals must be clearly executed across two types of channels: in-person and virtual.
