Ep 071 - 6 Shocking & Powerful Lessons from Major Virtual Event
Ep 071 - 6 Shocking & Powerful Lessons from Expo! Expo![00:00:00] So I attended a very, very large virtual event this past week. And I have to share with you six shocking and powerful lessons that I learned from attending this event. It was fantastic. It was eye opening, and you're going to love it. So stay tuned.Let's talk about Expo! Expo! It was just a phenomenal virtual event. It was supposed to be held live down in Louisville, Kentucky. And, it was, they were pushing and pushing and doing everything they could to have a live event. And just at the, really the last minute it was within about four weeks or so that they finally shifted and said, you know, we can't do it.[00:03:27] there's too much going on. Too much risk, eh, going on in the country to have people coming in for a live event at this point. So they switched over to virtual and I have got to tell you, I was so incredibly impressed, especially knowing how quickly they shifted from live to virtual. But let me tell you about this event. So this event and had over a hundred sessions, keynotes and workshops covering multiple tracks. So no matter where you were in the industry, what kind of a [00:04:00] focus you wanted, you were able to attend some really amazing. Amazing workshops. They had over a hundred exhibitors in their exhibit hall, which was fantastic.[00:04:11] And they had over 1200 attendees at this event. So it was a great event. , and it was a trade show. It was the trade show for trade shows. And really, like I said, one of the best virtual events I've ever attended, , they had. So much going on and gave so many opportunities to interact and engage with the speakers with other attendees and with the exhibitors, of course.[00:04:38] And it was just, it was fantastic. Learned so much from the different sessions. And made a ton of great connections. So, in fact, I'm going to be featuring several of the exhibitors in their own episode coming up and they share each of them shares a tip that they've got to, to help you with your results and your success in the industry.So you will want to be on the lookout for that episode coming up very, very soon. And the whole thing went off very smoothly. They have a fantastic team there. Everyone was, well-prepared used a great platform from swap card that made everything very, very smooth. And I mean, it had to take ups and I'll talk about that in a little bit, but it was really, really fantastic event.[00:05:23]So during this event, I took away six lessons. Like I said, some are shocking, all of them, very, very powerful. And here's what I learned. And I want you to take away for future events, especially if you are hosting events, whether that's something as simple as a, is the one hour webinar all the way up to a multi-day summit or trade show.[00:05:45] That you're doing online virtually here's six lessons. I want you to learn.[00:05:50]Number one, hold an intro session and take everybody through your platform. You may want to do multiple. If you're, if you're doing an event that's like a trade [00:06:00] show or a multi-day summit, you may want to have one session just for all those who are, are involved in putting it on your exhibitors, your sponsors, your speakers.[00:06:09] So they have an understanding of how to work the platform from their standpoint. And then when the event starts having an intro session for all of your attendees, so they understand how to navigate through the platform, how to attend sessions, how to get into the exhibit hall, how to interact with people, what to look for.[00:06:29] This was something they did very, very well. And they took the time to go through every feature and what to look for and when to check in and certain spots. So it was very, very well done. And this is something everyone needs to do because there's so many amazing platforms out there. And it seems like new ones...
