Zoom is a great tool for hosting a successful online event.

How many people will be attending? For intimate events where you’ll be engaging with your audience and asking questions, I would recommend no more than 10 people.

This is a great way to continue offering a service whilst ensuring businesses are feeling supported during a troubling time. I have therefore been helping my client to set up a series of online Business Leader’s Support Forums using Zoom and Eventbrite. Since we’ve had to cancel most of our events we’ve been looking at ways to make sure we can still service the membership clients to ensure they are still getting value, help and support. Businesses join as they want help and support with growing their own businesses and within the membership we host regular networking events, workshops and strategy days. I work with one client in particular whose business model is based on a membership subscription. We want to keep servicing our clients, providing value and doing our bit to not only keep our business running but to keep the economy running too.

Whilst online events have always been around, they are now more popular than ever as we are all adapting to a new way of running our businesses virtually. The working world as we know it is changing daily and we are all finding ourselves dialling into virtual meeting rooms to attend team chats, events, workshops and meetings with our networks.

Online events have soared this past month as we’ve been forced into lockdown.
