6 Types of Events you can Take Online During Pandemic

Ever since this pandemic situation started taking our personal lives hostage, it’s become more and more difficult to upkeep our personal lives at a level that it used to be on, so to speak.

For example, picking up groceries and visiting your physician represent nowadays one of the last remaining activities where you get to leave your house and get in touch with the outside world.

For many people, their work is getting set up and reorganized in such a way that it can be done remotely.

So, one less activity where you can socialize with people.

As bad as the current situation is, there is a silver lining to it, as the technology that keeps many workers stuck at home doing their work remotely also can connect people.

Throwing online events, for example, isn’t exactly a new thing, but following the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic, it is only now that we see the full potential of such a way of gathering people together and presenting them with interesting pieces of information.

In this article, we’re going to list six different types of events you can take part in entirely online while in quarantine or otherwise while self-isolating.

Here’s the deal.

Employee Training

While the ongoing pandemic has certainly hurt the global economy, this still doesn’t mean that all companies have completely been stopped in their tracks.

Even under difficult conditions of working during curfews and other restrictions, many businesses still find ways to not only work but also grow their businesses (however slowly) and even hire new employees.

Now, as exciting as hiring a new person is to your company, it’s not much use if you can’t train them properly.

This is where online training comes in.

If the new employee can come to your office physically, they can attend an online course you provide for them and learn the ropes of working as a part of your team within your company that way.

Virtual Job Fair

If training a new employee online can be challenging (possible, but at times challenging), imagine what hiring someone might look like when you don’t even get to meet them in advance.

The thing is, if you’re an owner of a large conglomerate factory and the job position is not that complex, this might not even be that much of a deal.

On the other hand, if you run a small business or you run a large business but you’re hiring for a sensitive and complex position, getting to know the candidate’s personality and skill levels are of massive importance.

Still, with some preparation and dedication, even this delicate process can be completed online – from start to finish.

Online Expo

One great thing about seminars and expos where the attendees all walk around with one of those cards around their neck would be that these events can fairly easily be moved online.

Sure, you may not get to mingle and meet with the representatives of various national companies, but you can still display your new ideas, products, and services fairly well.

If you’re not sure how to approach this novel type of task, you can always seek the help of a company that deals in this line of business such as Veritas Events. With the help of such a business, you can set up a world-class expo and wow all of your attendees.

Conferences

… can be a great way to bring the type of folks who all share a certain interest.

The great thing about them concerning the current pandemic situation – conferences are perfectly easy to set up online.

You’ve probably already seen examples of meetings and conferences where someone joins in via a video link and their face is on the screen because they were unable to attend physically, for some reason.

Well, when online conferences are in question, all of the attendees join in via video link, so there’s not much you need to worry about in terms of getting them all together in the same place. (Other than sending them an invitation in a timely fashion.)

Wellness Sessions

As long as it can be comfortably televised so that the folks looking at the activity in question in their homes can repeat it – it can be moved online.

As odd as this may sound, workout videos and wellness sessions can also be presented to an audience via video link or otherwise online, so whoever is free to sit behind a screen for an hour or so can also do a workout with the help of that screen.

Podcasting

A podcast is a type of event where two or more people have a radio-show type of conversation in a studio (or a similar place where it is quiet) and the conversation is broadcasted and recorded and then sold as either an audio-only radio show or a show complete with video footage.

A podcasting setup is not a complex one and the great thing about it is that many podcasts are already filmed and recorded with the participants of the conversation being in different locations, so COVID19 or not – anyone who’s ever done a podcast will tell you that organizing it online is a piece of cake.

All in all, the current pandemic has created a host of issues for pretty much everyone in the world – whether they’re employed, unemployed, or running a business. That said, at least we have the silver lining in the fact that many of the processes and actions we perform regularly can be easily moved online.
