In the post-COVID era, virtual meetings remain at an all-time high. Services like Zoom, RingCentral, Webex, Google Hangouts, and Microsoft Teams are the norm, not just for office meetings, but also for friends and family members to share a drink or attend a social event without leaving the house.
As a society, we can stay connected without actually needing to be in the same room. However, this also presents new challenges. With so many possible outside distractions during an actual meeting, keeping everyone’s focus is harder than ever.
Dynamic event ideas and formats are a must. These engage attendees in creative ways and offer a way to truly leverage this digital format to host the best possible online meeting.
Here are four great ways your next meeting can benefit from incorporating virtual entertainment.
A virtual entertainment hire can boost the meeting’s perceived value
With the sheer number of virtual meetings nowadays, it’s easy for yours to get lost in the shuffle. Whether it’s an employee logging on for their fourth of seven Zoom calls for that specific workday or a friend logging on for a ‘happy hour’ get-together for the fifth straight week, positioning your event as valuable and meaningful is not always easy.
Booking virtual entertainment for hire to headline or surprise your group can be a big win. If you do the former, it will build anticipation. If you do the latter, it will certainly make a memory. Adding one of our virtual comedians, magicians, or keynote speakers can be an effective way to achieve this.
A virtual comedian can make your group meeting more memorable
Adding virtual entertainment can make your next online meeting a real standout experience. This will keep you and/or your organization top of mind and also lead others to want to attend your next online workshop, webinar, or meeting.
Hosting a virtual concert with a live band, incorporating an online cooking class, or booking a virtual comedian can significantly enhance the ‘wow factor’ and overall exposure of your meeting.
In particular, hiring a virtual comedian makes for a unique event. Whether it is a comedian who specializes in professional settings for your next virtual business luncheon or picking a G-rated comedian for an online youth group retreat for your church, we can help you find the perfect act for your next event. We make the process of hiring a comedian simple and straightforward.
Virtual entertainment helps ensure engagement during a meeting
Let’s face it. We’ve all slogged through meetings – both in-person and virtual – where you are simply watching the clock tick by instead of actually paying attention. This is even more challenging when everyone continues working through the meeting. While it’s appreciated that you’re working hard, it can disrupt the overall experience.
Even the best-planned events can be a real dud if the audience is disinterested or not participating. Booking a virtual magic act or hiring an interactive virtual comedian can ensure and maintain high engagement, leading to a successful overall virtual event.
Make your virtual meeting distinct from regular online meetings
You want to make sure that your virtual event is not just a run-of-the-mill happening. Instead, bringing in a virtual entertainment hire, such as a virtual comedian, illusionist, or another variety act, will ensure that it’s fun and engaging. This will really help you to set your event apart from the usual Zoom call, for which most of your employees or friends probably dread logging on. Virtual meetings are not only an excellent tool but a way of life in a post-pandemic workforce. These four reasons explain why going the extra mile and adding virtual entertainment will benefit the ambience, attention, and overall appreciation of the meeting. Booking a virtual comedian, magic act, or other entertainment option is a great way to accomplish this and ensure that your next online event really stands out.
