Make a Virtual Meeting Fun
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
In a world of hybrid or completely virtual meetings, how do you keep your attendees engaged and eager to log back in after a break? Note the tips and pointers below for some ideas on keeping things interesting.
Virtual Buddies
Did we just become best work-friends? Virtual buddies are randomly chosen “buddies” for attendees. At some point during a break, the buddies exchange contact information and connect to learn at least one thing about each other. This could even be expanded to include a different buddy each break or each day of your conference. Give prizes for the teams with the most (or most unusual) facts about each other or random draws from the teams who participated. This is also a great way to encourage networking among those who wouldn’t normally meet during an in-person gathering.
Virtual Break-Away Rooms
Zoom offers options to host virtual rooms within your meeting. Randomly assign attendees to a room to network during the meeting. This gives attendees an informal way to network and feel more connected to others.
Prizes
Who doesn’t love a giveaway? Let’s be honest, most people will show up if it gives them a chance to win something. Offer incentives for logging on during each presentation and for engaging in the meeting. People with the most logins, engagement, participation and more WIN.
