You\u2019ve heard the buzz among event professionals: Virtual events will never replace in-person events. That the future of the events industry is\u00a0hybrid<\/a>.\u00a0We don\u2019t disagree<\/em>. But there is one aspect of meetings and events where virtual is coming out a clear winner:\u00a0Data<\/p>\n

Just think about it.\u00a0Data<\/a>\u00a0has already shown us that compared to their in-person counterparts, attendance rates at virtual conferences and trade shows have skyrocketed. In some cases, our clients have reported increases of over 400%! This is fantastic news. But do you know what\u2019s even more exciting?<\/p>\n

Virtually everything (no pun intended) with\u00a0online events<\/a>\u00a0can be captured, analyzed, and reported. Imagine being able track every movement, click, and action taken by attendees within a\u00a0virtual event platform<\/a>? Think of what it could tell us: Detailed demographics about your audience, which sessions, topics, and presenters were most engaging, social buzz, how long attendees spent with exhibitors, which sponsor ads were more effective, and much more. Such a goldmine of information to\u00a0measure event success and ROI<\/a>\u00a0makes me feel giddy!<\/p>\n

The only catch? With so much available data, it can be overwhelming. And maybe even a little intimidating. After all, not everyone has a\u00a0BI data analyst<\/a>\u00a0available on their team to provide insights and feedback from all of this information.<\/p>\n

Fear not!<\/p>\n

This blog helps explains the key types of virtual event data in a way that\u2019s easy to digest. Learn what each metric means, and insights you can glean. We\u2019ve broken it down into 5 main areas, including:<\/p>\n

1. Virtual Audience Demographics<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Virtual Sessions and Content<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Virtual Attendee Engagement\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Virtual Networking Activity<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Virtual Sponsors and Exhibits<\/a><\/p>\n

Virtual Audience Demographics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a given that we want to learn as much about our event audience as possible. But asking them too many\u00a0questions during registration<\/a> can feel invasive. If you make registration too\u00a0arduous, your prospective registrant may abandon the process and that\u2019s no good! Here\u2019s how you can collect some of that additional information and improve your attendee experience at the same time: networking questions. To give virtual attendees a personalized experience and match them with meaningful connections, topics, and sponsors and exhibitors they may be interested in, ask them a set of\u00a0networking questions<\/a>\u00a0during your onboarding, like:<\/p>\n
