Emilie Barta – Professional Trade Show Presenter, Product Demonstrator – Virtual & Hybrid Event Host, Emcee – Corporate Meeting Host, Emcee, Moderator

Hybrid events are gaining in popularity, and participating virtually is better than not participating at all.

A hybrid event occurs when a face-to-face event and a virtual event happen simultaneously to enable two audiences to participate as one.  You have an Emcee to address your live audience and make them feel welcome, but how do you make the virtual audience feel the same?

You hire Emilie Barta to host the webcast or virtual event and take care of your virtual audience for you!

Hybrid events allow associations and event management companies to increase their total number of attendees, and allow for greater interaction between the face-to-face audience, the virtual audience, the speakers, and the producers of the event. But the fact remains that the virtual audience is not live at the event and consequently may feel like an outside observer. 

Emilie allows the virtual audience to feel more connected to the live event by speaking to them directly through the camera lens, and providing them with something that is unique to their experience:

• welcome the virtual audience to the event
• instruct the virtual audience on how to use the interface and the various ways in which they may participate in the conversation
• introduce the next session, topic, and speaker(s)
• interview speakers after their session specifically geared toward the virtual audience
• allow the virtual audience to question the speakers in a more intimate setting
• announce late-breaking news and updates
• facilitate contests specifically geared toward the virtual audience
• wrap up the day’s events and announce the agenda for the following day
• and anything else that allows your virtual audience to feel like an important part of your event and not an unwelcome intruder

You have a responsibility to your virtual audience, especially if you are charging them admission.  Virtual audiences pay attention to how they are treated, and are quick to point out if they are being ignored or taken for granted.  Emilie has the ability to keep them engaged in a more personal way even though they are not live at the event.  She allows the virtual audience to not only share in the experience, but to have an experience that is all their own. 

So contact Emilie today to ensure that your virtual audience feels appreciated and like an active, not passive, participant in your live event.
