What is Virtual Event?

Definition

An event held entirely online where all attendees participate remotely via video conferencing, live streaming, or event platforms. Virtual events eliminate venue costs and geographic barriers, enabling global participation.

Why it matters

Virtual events reduce costs by 60-80% compared to in-person while reaching 5-10x more attendees. They're ideal for webinars, online workshops, product launches, and global conferences. The virtual events market grew 400% from 2019-2023.
