In the fourth episode of our series ‘Next-Generation Virtual Events’, we’ll show you how to monetise your virtual events.
Overview
Fallen into the COVID trap, live events which were the main source of revenue for many events professionals, have been cancelled. Seeing a continued need to maintain a connection with customers and audiences, they turned to hosting events virtually instead.
However, despite hosting multiple virtual events, event professionals are still struggling to capitalise and generate income virtually. Leading to these questions of "Do the usual sponsorship offerings work for virtual events?" and "Can event professionals price their tickets and how much are people willing to pay for a virtual event?"
In this episode, we will show you how to monetise and increase ROI for your virtual event. The episode also includes a fun breakout session to demonstrate how gamification can increase audience engagement while acting as a potential avenue for sponsorship.
Agenda
1. Different pricing models to maximise the ROI of virtual events
2. Ways of providing additional value to sponsors and exhibitors
3. Exploring sponsored gamification as a new revenue stream
4. Using virtual event analytics to measure ROI of virtual events
We have also prepared a fun breakout session with Engamio to demonstrate how gamification can increase audience engagement while acting as a potential avenue for sponsorship.
