Virtual field events are a fantastic way to reach prospects on their own time. No need to travel to trade shows or schedule in-person events!

However, convenience can come at a cost. Take these tips to ensure your virtual field event is both entertaining and engaging:

• Brand your field event. You want attendees to have no question about who’s hosting the event!
• Interact with attendees in real time. Use interactive features live live chat, polls, or video Q&A to get a pulse on the crowd and allow attendees to interact directly with the host.
• Use event data for relevant follow-ups. Keep tabs on your most engaged attendees and use the field event data (think: how long they were in the event, questions asked, polls answered, etc.) for relevant follow-ups after the event.

Field events are one of the most successful ways to get valuable 1:1 time with prospects and convert them to paying customers. But executing in-person field events have become a challenge.

Reach your prospects where they are by bringing your field events online. Not only are virtual field events convenient, they also make your experiences more accessible to a broader audience.
