The Covid-19 crisis has forced people all over the world to change physical events to online events. Conal is supports online events; please watch our social media platforms for hints and tips; and add your online events to Conal.
When adding an online event to Conal, please put: “Online” in the city field, and “Other” in the country field. Add keywords such as “online”, “virtual” and “webinar” to your event keywords to help subscribers who are looking for online events find your event more easily. This will also ensure that your event is listed on the Conal Online events page.
Use a reputable platform to host your online event, such as Zoom or Google Meet.
Spend time familiarizing yourself with the online platform you have chosen. What features do they offer? Some useful features include:
- Polling meeting delegates
- recording the meeting
- changing the background to your video; this could show your company logo, for example
Check if there are limits on the meeting package you choose; such as a time limit to the meeting, or a limit on the number of people attending the meeting.
Before the event goes live; do a try run. Check your camera and sound to make sure they are working correctly. The best lighting is from the front; make sure that people will be able to see you and all other delegates.
