During this global health crisis, many events are planning the pivot to virtual. Virtual events may be the new normal for your organization for the foreseeable future. You may be wondering how can I build a website for a virtual event? What should be collected in the registration process? What tools can I use to make this event a success? Cvent is here to help you answer those questions through our webinars and training offerings.

If you are planning on hosting a 100% virtual event, our two-part virtual event training is a great resource! Part one, or Virtual Event Landscapes, covers:

  • Industry overview
  • Different types of virtual events
  • Components of virtual events
  • Event goals and attendee engagement
  • Success metrics and data

Part two, or Creating your Virtual Event, dives into the Cvent product and walks you through how to:

  • Convert an in-person event to virtual
  • Create a simple virtual event
  • Employ advanced considerations
  • Adopt virtual presenter tips and tricks

If you are planning on hosting a hybrid event with in-person and virtual content, our two-part hybrid event training will be a great resource! Part one, or Hybrid Events Foundations, covers:

  • Creating your hybrid event strategy
  • Hybrid event design
  • Content strategy
  • Hybrid event tech toolkit
  • Creating community and engagement
  • Post-event data activation 

Part two, or Creating your Hybrid Event, walks through the Cvent product and how to:

  • Create one event with two attendee experiences
  • Building your RFP for a hybrid event
  • Event creation & configuration for hybrid events
  • Virtual solutions integrations
  • Engagement through mobile event apps

These trainings also highlight Cvent’s new Virtual Attendee Hub! The Virtual Attendee Hub is an integral part of our Evet Marketing and Management Platform, providing solutions to reliably and securely plan, promote, and drive engagement for virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. Tune into the training to see some of the backend configurations and what it looks like from an attendee’s perspective –you won’t want to miss this!

During these challenging times, our Product and Technology teams are working to enhance our products to meet the demands of the industry. One of the best things about these trainings is that the content is updated as new features and enhancements are released. A new feature that is now highlighted is the ability for attendees to select their timezone when registering for an event to better understand when the session will be hosted in their native time. 

Both the Virtual and Hybrid Courses earn you credits towards your Certified Meeting Professional certification. Typically a $395 value, you can register and attend these for $0 for the time being. The trainings are hosted Monday – Friday at multiple times to fit into your schedule and timezone.
