None of us are immune to the allure of snackable content. Even in the world of B2B, consumers expect multiple options for accessing and consuming content at any time, day or night.

You can provide the on-demand experiences they’re looking for by strategically using your event content as fuel for your multichannel strategy.

One of the best and easiest places to start? An on-demand content hub to house all your past, current and future events.

In this article, we’ll explore why a digital events hub is important for building and growing an audience of loyal fans. We’ll also share real examples of best-in-class upcoming events hub pages to inspire your own design.

Consumer viewing habits have changed dramatically in just a few short years.

News comes from TikTok. Shopping happens live in real-time. And platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime make it easier than ever to find the content you want, when you want it.

With the rise of short-form video, live streaming, and multi-screening, you can’t afford to overlook your events as a goldmine of authentic content featuring real stories from real people.

And let’s be honest. You work too hard defining the perfect event themes, recruiting marquis-worthy keynote speakers, and perfecting your video content to let it fade away in an archive folder somewhere.

An on-demand event hub lets you showcase the content you worked so hard to create in one central place where your audience can always find it.

But not every virtual event hub has the user experience and backend data you’re looking for.

Let’s take a closer look at the major advantages of an on-demand event hub, plus the top features to look for when choosing a platform to host it.

For busy marketing teams, a beautifully branded digital events hub lets you promote upcoming events, boost registrations, and host your on-demand events in one easy-to-find location.

“Going from planning to promoting events has been so easy and quick. Already seeing higher registration numbers with this event page builder,” says Jeroen Kuunders, Manager, Brand & Marketing Operations at Sendcloud.

From faster event planning and execution to evergreen lead generation, there are a host of benefits for brands that actively use a digital events hub.

Here are some of the biggest perks of a central on-demand events hub:

• Expand your reach: 44% of event attendees say never having to miss a session is one of the biggest perks of a digital event. By offering your event content on-demand, you can expand your reach to include those who couldn’t make it to the live event due to different time zones or other scheduling conflicts.
• Increased viewing time: 84% of attendees say access to on-demand content increases their viewing time allowing you to drive engagement even after the event closes. You can also use captioning and translations to make your visual event content accessible to the widest possible audience.
• Boost brand awareness: With a customizable on-demand event hub you can adjust the fonts, colors and themes to support your visual identity and keep your brand top of mind with prospects—even when you’re not engaging with them live.
• Grow your lead gen: An easily accessible event hub with multiple sections for event topic, type and audience makes it simple to attract new on-demand attendees long after your event is over.

The right virtual events hub will make it easy for your audience to find the information they need and continue engaging with your brand when it’s convenient for them. But if you cater to multiple job titles, functions, and/or industries, it can be difficult to make sure the right content is targeted towards the right audiences in your on-demand events hub.

Here are some of the key features to look for when exploring platform builders to create your digital events hub:

• No-code builder: It should be easy for your team to control the page layout without having to bring in external design or development help.
• Easy customization: Look for a variety of colors, fonts and themes to create a branded, personalized feel quickly.
• Mobile optimized: A non-negotiable for modern attendees, your digital events hub visitors must be able to view the content easily on any device.
• Easy content sorting: The builder should make it easy to point visitors toward different types of events, from webinars to multi-day conferences.
• Data analytics: You should be able to sync viewer analytics to your MAP and CRM for easy list making, follow up and reporting.

The ideal on-demand events platform will be able to offer specific hubs based on content, role, industry and more to make finding content as easy as possible for various types of prospects and visitors.

No matter which platform you choose, be sure to use your event titles, descriptions, and other details to explain the content clearly and help viewers understand which events are the best fit for them.
