Plan the agenda Have reasonable expectations for an
attendees time Don’t follow an in-person event model
This is a web experience – treat it as such Keep content short and engaging Structure agenda with little or no down time Hide “down time” as a planned activity
Once you have an experience created, look to technology to enable it.

First Impression
•Kick off the event with a message from an official host
•Remind users of how to get around, where to find things and what not to miss
•Push attendees into the opening session to get everyone on the same page
Opening Session
•Keep it short – 15-20 minutes tops
•Explain where certain audience segments should spend their time
•Be explicit about the purpose and goals for the event
Networking
Experienc
e
•Be sure to expresslydedicate time on the agenda for networking
•Push to specific, seeded forums or booths
•Show a video as part of the opening session that explains how the networking features work
Exhibit
Experienc
e
•Highlight platinum sponsor booths by giving them space on the agenda
•Task sponsors (or partners/departments) to provide engagement in their booths beyond just chat – incorporate the forums and video
Breakout Sessions
•Create tracks for different attendee types
•Don’t box all webcasts into one type – be conscious of the content
•Keep it SHORT – 15-30 minutes. Presenters are BORING online when they drone on
