Top 10 Tips to Increase Engagement During Virtual Events
Natalie Yeadon shares her top tips for making your virtual events engaging and interactive
If you are a member of the Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS), you might have caught our popular webinar on how COVID-19 has impacted (and will continue to impact) live events. As part of this webinar, we discussed how engagement can be enhanced during virtual events. I also recently shared our top 10 tips for running a successful virtual event. As a follow-up, here, I share my top 10 tips for increasing engagement during virtual events.
1. Don't just rely on static slides for presentations
Don't get me wrong, slides get the job done. However, to take your presentation to the next level, interactive videos or animations should be leveraged. Additionally, other interactive features such as polls or quizzes can be added to encourage participant engagement. Any kind of dynamic content will help keep participants interested and alert, and actively involving them through polls or audience Q&A keeps them on their toes.
At the end of the day, you want to create conversations, not broadcasts.
2. Include a combination of asynchronous and synchronous interaction opportunities
Virtual events should be more than just a series of presentations. If including aspects such as poster sessions or "hot topics" discussion forums, give participants and presenters the option to interact either asynchronously (i.e. on their own time using annotation, discussion forum, or chat functions) or synchronously (in real-time using video). Some people will prefer the former as it gives them more time to review the poster or discussion thread and formulate their thoughts before responding. Others prefer the latter, especially if they are more extroverted or verbose. Offering a combination of engagement tools allows better personalization and thereby optimization of the interactivity.

- Top 10 benefits of virtual advisory boards: Save Time and Resources
- We've broken down the top ten benefits of why virtual advisory boards are superior to in-person and hybrid advisory boards.
#1. Countless Hours of Time-savings and Substantially Reduced Costs
We’ll start with two of the most obvious advantages of virtual advisory boards compared to in-person meetings: time and cost savings.
With shrinking budgets and smaller Pharma cross-functional teams, it is becoming increasingly important to strategically assess how to best allocate funds to specific customer target segments. Most customer universes have increased in size and complexity over the years, as physicians are no longer always the primary decision-makers when it comes to prescribing medications. Administrators, payers, nurses, pharmacists, other allied health professionals, and patient advocates are all playing substantial decision-making roles. Many of our clients are choosing to conduct parallel advisory boards with HCPs from different regions or with different groups of advisors (e.g., patients and doctors, general practitioners and specialists), which can quickly become very expensive and time-consuming if done in person.
By moving your advisory board activities online, for the cost of one in-person meeting, you can reach three times as many customers or engage the same group of advisors four times!
