Video Conferencing Tips for Event Planners
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we do business. We've suddenly entered into this new world where virtual keynotes, webinars, and remote work environments are a part of everyday normality. While in-person meetings have been disrupted for the immediate future, the need to stay connected has become more necessary than ever. At Executive Speakers Bureau, we have the tools, training, and resources to help you work through these uncertain times and move forward with confidence in this age of digital connectedness and virtual learning.
We are also adapting so that we can work together to continue to provide you, our event professionals and meeting planners, top-notch event services using the best innovative technology and creative communication tools. Thankfully, we have relied on many friends in the industry, such as keynote speakers James Taylor and Jay Baer, to help us help YOU!
To get started, here are some must-have items you need to get set up the right way for your next video conference:
Computer/Camera - A high-quality laptop or webcam should always be placed at eye-level.
Natural Light/Light Ring - A light ring or natural light (windows behind the camera, not you) ensures a clearer picture for your audience.
Uncluttered Background/Simple Backdrop - Avoid windows in the background. If you don't have a green screen or white-board, be sure your background is simple so that your audience stays focused on you, not what's behind you
Microphone/Headset - Any type of earbuds or headset with a built-in microphone
High-Speed Wifi Connection - A hardline or Wifi connection is an obvious must.
Just having these basic things will have you one step closer to having a successful virtual conference. In our next blog, we will be identifying the things that a keynote speaker will need for his/her setup to deliver a successful presentation. The good news here is many keynote speakers are already set up to take their presentations on the digital highway. Remember, virtual conferences may be a new(-ish) thing for event planners, but our keynote speakers - innovators and digital marketing experts like James Taylor and Jay Baer - have been doing this for years!
