Are you planning to host a virtual event or virtual exhibition in Singapore? Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organisations and corporate businesses have migrated online and have found platforms where they can conduct online events and earn participants. The adaptation has brought a new trend—a way of planning and executing events.

If you want to have a successful virtual event, it’s more than just a standard event management system. Knowing the most common mistakes allows you to have a contingency plan to turn things around and provide a positive impact on audiences. Find out the most common things that could go wrong with your virtual event:

1. Unexpected internet loss

Rain and thunderstorms can affect your Internet signal. Sudden Internet loss can lead to a common technical issue, such as abruptly ending the session and leaving participants hanging. Should things happen, ensure that you have a backup source, such as wifi tethering from your phone.

2. No one is showing up

So you plan to host a virtual event in Singapore for your participants, but very few to no guests are making themselves available to attend. A low turnout can be an enormous blow to every event host and organiser, and it still is a problem for online events, such as conferences. So, what do you do? Clear communication (such as sending reminders to participants) and learning how to market and promote your event is the solution.

3. Technical failures

Problems with the sounds or visual presentation errors are common technical concerns that need to be addressed. While they are common in any virtual exhibition or event, one should learn how to minimise the chance of failures happening. The most common and simple solution is to run tests or perform dry runs weeks, days and hours before the actual event. It’ll save you a lot of trouble!
