Virtual events require a lot of effort and time to produce and involve as much, if not more work than an in-person event. When things start to go wrong, attendees don't have to walk half a mile to report it. Problems are immediate and people expect solutions a whole lot faster. This makes it all the more important that you have the right people to prevent and handle these issue when they occur. You want a dream team.

For this session, we've assembled our own mini dream team of veteran event profs to share their experience and best practices. We'll cover what roles you need when your building your dream team, where to look for vendors and partners, and what you'll need to get started. Whether your big or small, we'll show you what the critical must haves are to ensure your event runs smoothly.

Unsurprisingly, virtual events have a lot of unique tech requirements, which can be confusing and overwhelming when figuring out what you need for your event. Our mini dream team is here to help and will share their essentials for technical equipment to help make your speakers shine and provide your attendees with a seamless experience. We'll also do a deep dive into how to build your virtual event tech stack and the big things to look out for (and how to avoid them). You'll learn the key questions to ask when building your tech stack to ensure that you get what you need and not get ripped off in the process.
