Keynote Speakers and Workshops
Your keynote speaker(s) and/or workshop(s) are one of the main drivers of attendance for a virtual conference. They provide a fun reprieve, a recharge, and/or comic relief in trying times. They get attendees excited to join and keep their focus on your event. This helps them ignore the many distractions of the virtual world.
You should plan and produce these main headlines accordingly. They should be easy for all your guests to access. This includes those in different time zones or who speak other languages. They should also support the main goal of your virtual conference.
As-Live for Headliners
No matter where your attendee, motivational keynote speaker, or headliner is logging in at (or often WHEN), a virtual conference allows them to connect. If you are planning a conference across different time zones or countries, our event planners can help. We will create an event that works well for everyone.
We often suggest an “as-live” rather than a full “live” event. This type of virtual conference has many benefits. An “as-live” event consists of pre-recorded pieces that someone edits into one event, which then goes live at a specific time.
BEHR Paints hosted an as-live event with not only speakers but musicians as well. Each keynote speaker can practice and record their speech. They can also have it edited to make it look its best. Learn more about as-live and live events on our virtual event production page.

Reviews From Our Clients
The Big Picture
We don’t live and work in silos. That is why we have developed large screens and communication tools that allow us to cross through the virtual world and reach each other. Presenters can appear on large screens, even life-sized! This helps create smooth transitions and easy conversations, making everyone feel like they are in the same “room.”
This offers a more natural way to communicate. Our team can record the event from different angles and views. Later, we can edit it into a polished piece that is fit for Hollywood.
As-Live For the Attendees
An “as-live” event also has benefits for the attendees as well. One significant advantage is that guests can attend during the “live” time, like a regular event. After the first run, they can come back and enjoy the event again.
Guests who could not attend the live event can return anytime and watch the parts they missed. This allows them to have the best experience and understand the material fully.
Speak to Them
Pre-recorded events also reach more attendees because they are able to be translated ahead of time. Give each audience an experience that connects with them.
Use ASL, Spanish, Cantonese, or another language. You can add translations as closed captions or create a dubbed version. You can also translate supportive material and edit it to give them an experience tailored to them.
Work-less Workshops
Workshops allow attendees to work and learn side-by-side with other team members. Large groups can split into smaller breakout groups. They can collaborate using mind mapping, virtual sketches, polling, and other fun activities.
Looking beyond the typical TED talk style of workshop can lead you to novel forms of audience engagement.
Get interactive with your brainstorming. Use the virtual world to make your ideas come alive. Mind map with digital resources such as the Zoom whiteboard. Or, consider holding polls and quizzes or posts through social media to increase engagement during the event.
Have fun and use memes in your virtual sketches. Toss out the traditional “select one” poll and turn your team members into judges with real physical 1-10 signs to vote with. Game-a-fy your sales and leadership training with puzzles, escape-room-like tasks, and more.
