Over several posts I have told you what great backgrounds for virtual events or video conferencing could be. What I haven’t told you are the big No-No’s:

- Don’t situate yourself in front of a plant or piece of artwork that will show near your head on video. Humans don’t grow a plant out of our heads so let’s not look like it.
- Don’t put yourself in a position where a window is to your back, it will basically make you look like a shadowy figure on camera.
- Don’t go outside for your video conferencing unless you can control the sounds of nearby landscapers, police/fire dept. vehicle sirens or dogs barking.

Need a BIG value-add to your virtual conference or event? Consider collaborative learning as a way to network and solve problems. Here’s how to do it virtually:

- Create a group of people that have the same problem (i.e. group of restauranteurs)
- Bring them into a networking lounge to discuss the collaborative learning process they will participate in. For this group, ask them to come up with 3 marketing solutions to help bring in customers for take-out.
- Then, they will all break out into mini sessions of 5 people. They will discuss for 25 minutes to formulate 3 ideas.
- After the 25 minutes, everyone will come back to the main room and one person from each group will present to the entire group.
- At the end of the session, there could be 6 – 20 marketing ideas that restaurants can take back to their store and execute.

This is the power of crowd-sourcing solutions. We all have something great to contribute!

Ever heard of a sizzle reel? These are like commercials to help promote your event.

All you need are some photos and great copy to create an eye-catching video that will entice people to register for your event. Canva.com (my fav drag & drop graphic design platform) has great templates to help you make it.

Post the sizzle reel on your website, all social media accounts and email marketing.

Since we are all still virtually communicating consider decorating your background with something that sparks conversation. Try any of these:

• Something personal that people ask about: books, photos, props
• Branded products displayed well and wholly visual with you on camera
• Floral arrangement – not directly behind you (make sure it doesn’t look like a plant is shooting out of your head)

Short on time, but need some entertainment value during your virtual conference. It’s suggested to pad in some time between each session for virtual conference, just in case speakers go over their allotted time.

For a conference last month, I had a great DJ create 5-minute pre-recorded tracks to be uploaded and played between each session with a static video (great sponsorship opportunity).

People loved the up-lifting music which created some energy during the conference. This is a great way to entertain with minimal time.

Event planners have been shifting and reinventing live event ideas into the virtual world. One of my favorites so far is live art during the virtual event Basically the artist is watching the sessions and creating an illustration according to the talks with a stylus on a tablet.

It can be funny, cute, and a great recap of the talk.

Talk to any artist friends to see if they have the capability to do this fun form of entertainment.
