What is the Difference Between Physical Events & Virtual Events?

event lobby

Mesmerize audiences with stunning 3D designs for virtual lobbies & spaces. Without capacity constraints & overcrowding, as in a physical space, this virtual launchpad will guide visitors to various sections of the event.

Virtual events offer customized exhibitor booths, smooth navigation through the exhibitor hall, and eliminate the need to wait around in long queues.

A virtual auditorium acts as a stage for scheduled webinars. Visitors can simply click on the auditorium to access webinars and other videos being broadcasted. Participants can also join Q&A sessions and participate in polls, just as in a physical space.

Webinars are typically formatted as a one-way exchange of information, given by a presenter via screenshare to a remote audience during an allotted period of time. This eliminates the cost of travel & accomodation associated with key note speakers and allows the host to address masses across borders.

Serving the same purpose as that of a physical help desk/information desk, a virtual help desk caters to visitors queries throughout the duration of the event.

Along with all other components of a physical event, a virtual lobby consists of stunning designs for an improved visitors experience. This can be used to showcase social media profiles and external links related to the event.

Engagement is a key feature at any event and so, a virtual event lets you interact in real time with audiences using text, audio and video chat. You can chat with a group using a chat room or initiate a private conversation with a promising candidate with a 1:1 chat

A poster hall is where an attendee can quickly browse through poster thumbnails on display, and just as in physical events, can pick the poster of their choice to learn more. At vFairs, we use a 3D outlook for such halls to give a realistic touch.

Certain events such as trade shows, typically involve buying and selling activities. On-the-spot sales are accelerated at virtual events by offering swag bags to visitors that act as shopping carts and can be used for online transactions.

Organizers can create sponsorship categories or tiers that promise different levels of exposure to organizations. Get in touch to learn more about sponsorship tiers.
