6 Benefits of Attending Virtual Events

Recent events have increased the demand for virtual access to industry knowledge, interactive sessions led by industry experts and networking opportunities with peers. Although some countries have begun to lift their own restrictions, there are still many affected by lockdowns and travel bans.

For those who cannot attend physical summits or those who choose not to, we are pleased to offer the option of an online pass, which allows you to take full advantage of the benefits of a physical event virtually.

Let’s explore the benefits of attending online events:

Accessibility — Gain valuable knowledge from thought leaders while never leaving the comfort of your home. View the conference presentations directly on your PC, phone or tablet. Online events allow you to attend from anywhere, paving the way for a larger, more diverse audience.

Cost Saving — Online events eliminate travel costs, hotel accommodations, food expenses, etc. so you are only responsible for the registration fee. This not only saves you money but also time since you do not have to worry about scheduling anything aside from time for the summit itself.

Hear Real Experiences — Working remotely can make you feel that you are handling any issues that arise alone but through the experiences shared during virtual events, you can see how other organisations are handling current situations and discover solutions to push your business forward.

Networking — Networking is a benefit of any event but it is more important than ever during this time of social distancing. These opportunities to exchange insights and establish valuable business connection can’t be beaten. The benefits compared to traditional events is no time crunch to meet everyone you’d like to in between sessions and it’s easier to collect information from the people you meet online. Aside from the business aspect, it is good to have that human connection and sense of community during troubling times on a personal level.

Alternative Learning — Online events provide alternative learning options such as workshops, interactive sessions and group discussions that couple nicely with different speaker presentations. Opportunities like these allow you to leave with new knowledge or a new skill set, which is super beneficial on its own.

Self-Investment — You no longer have to be in a huge venue full of thousands of people to achieve self-growth. Online access to our events lets you invest in yourself in a less committal way. Invest in yourself, your business and your employees without having to break out your business attire. Get inspired by others and revive your motivation by feeding off the energy of your peers during these virtual sessions.

For these reasons and many more, we are thrilled we can continue to provide a platform for global brands and industry experts to come together to network, share knowledge and discuss the latest innovations helping organisations be successful through the pandemic and beyond.

Traditional online webinar platforms are outdated but recent innovations are closing the gap between physical and online events. New technologies allow real-time, personal discussions, just as you would have at a physical event. The latest innovations bring virtual access to life so these summits offer much more than just absorbing information from a screen.

We have several events coming up with the option to attend in person or through online access. This allows you to choose which option is best for you and does not limit anyone from taking part in these important discussions.

Our Continued Effort and Response To COVID-19

As some countries begin to release restrictions around the Coronavirus (COVID-19), what does this mean for Luxatia International events?

Well, our goal is still to provide the safest possible platform for event speakers, sponsors and attendees to gather, share knowledge and discuss innovations of the future.

Safety Precautions

To ensure your safety, we are continuing to closely monitor the guidance and recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and local authorities in locations where our events are held.

As the situation in those countries changes, we will update our event attendees accordingly. This is why it is extremely important to register early so you are informed of any updates.

Measures To Guarantee Your Safety

The safety of everyone attending our events has always been our top priority. That is no different now; the only difference is how we are responding to this new threat. To guarantee your safety, the following terms will be implemented during summits:

• A limited number of event participants
• Seating will be set up to keep all participants socially distanced
• Extra sanitization measures will be in effect during the event such as the availability of plenty of anti-bacterial disinfectants throughout the event venue
• Networking will be encouraged through digital devices and platforms instead of handing out physical business cards

The Importance Of Digital Learning Spaces During COVID-19 and Beyond

As the impact of COVID-19 spreads across the globe, it has left schools scrambling to quickly adapt to a new way of doing things: online only! If the importance of virtual classrooms wasn’t apparent before, it is now.

Virtual learning can supplement existing classes, promote inclusive learning and maintain educational continuity in the face of long-term closures (which we’ve most recently seen).

As more educators are utilizing virtual classrooms, we can take a closer look at the advantages:

High Interactivity

In traditional learning environments, there was primarily one communication channel being used in the classroom: face to face communication between the teacher and student. In an effective virtual classroom, there would be multiple channels such as instant messaging, voice chat, and video conferencing.

This allows students to communicate in the manner they are most comfortable while allowing the teacher to easily adapt to individual students’ needs. Live virtual classrooms provide similar agility and responsiveness of an in-person class.

Shared workspaces also help maintain engagement with the course materials.

Collaborative Learning

One of the biggest concerns with moving to a digital learning space is the loss of physical interaction with others. While that is a valid concern, educators don’t have to sacrifice collaborative learning in digital spaces. There are several platforms that allow breakout sessions, similar to working in pairs or small groups in a physical classroom. Students can also work together through shared files, digital whiteboards and more.

Content Variety

Many educators have already adopted interactive whiteboards in the classroom. In fact, the interactive whiteboard market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.69% between 2018 and 2023.

Virtual classrooms provide similar benefits by allowing educators to bring in different file types, embed media and access a wide range of learning material.

Challenges Moving From Physical to Digital Spaces

There are clearly many benefits of transitioning to digital learning spaces but what challenges might you run into?
