Virtual event

A virtual event is an online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment on the web, rather than meeting in a physical location. Virtual events are typically multi-session online events that often feature webinars and webcasts. They are highly interactive, often aiming to create as similar an experience as possible to their physical counterparts.

Popular uses of virtual events include virtual tradeshows, virtual job fairs, virtual conferences, virtual sales meetings, virtual college open days, and virtual company-wide gatherings. Virtual events are used by organizations to deliver presentations, training, job fairs, expos, internal meetings, and sessions. They are led by a range of key stakeholders, including associations, professional meeting organizers, company executives, marketing managers, product management, human resources, and more.

Virtual events have been widely held due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which in-person gatherings have faced restrictions, prohibitions, or health and safety concerns.

Virtual event can also refer to aspects of an event that are brought to attendees through an online experience. There are several types of virtual events:

Live virtual events are live-streamed as they occur with no delays or pre-recordings much like a live television show.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of so-called global events increased, which "virtually travel the globe" "with the sun from East to West". The International Association of Constitutional Law and Alma Mater Europaea university organized their first such event in July 2020, calling it a "unique round-the-clock and round-the-globe" event, which featured 52 speakers from 28 countries.

On-demand events consist of pre-recorded content a person may access online at their discretion. The content may have originated from a prior live event or the content may have been recorded specifically for on-demand.

Simulive is an amalgamation of a pre-recorded webinar and a live interaction (simulated+live = simulive). In a simulive event, all audio, video, and presentation materials are pre-recorded. However, the event is scheduled and delivered to a live audience at a designated date and time.
