The landscape of events and conferences have changed more in the last 4 years than in the previous 25.
Currently, live events make up 84% of the market, while virtual make up 15% and the remaining 1% are a hybrid approach.
Virtual engagements in particular, provide a unique opportunity to engage the world’s best speakers for your event.
Every event type provides benefits so it really comes down to some of these key factors:
- Goal – what are you trying to achieve?
- Attendees – what type of event with resonate best with your audience?
- Budget – consider all event related costs such as venue, equipment, catering, travel, etc.
- Timeline – what is your turnaround time?
- KPIs – how are you going to measure success?
With access to talent all over the globe, Inspire Speakers have been able to provide clients with speakers, experts and celebrities for virtual engagements, that would otherwise be out of reach due to travel costs.
