Introduction

Traditional business meetings, presentations, conferences, and conventions will endure as a primary part of the business environment. The power and passion of real-world experiences and face-to-face interaction is still the most effective way to connect, relate, collaborate, and bond with others in business. Nonetheless, for many, the global coronavirus pandemic has required us to shift to virtual channels to meet our communication needs. Be it a business call, meeting with team members, connecting with clients, networking with new acquaintances, a webinar, or a live-streamed conference, we may do it online through Zoom. Zoom is the new conference room, with the host and participants attending remotely through video connections. Other platforms with similar features include Skype®, WebEx®, GoToMeeting™, © FaceTime, Microsoft Teams®, Google Hangouts™ and even more sophisticated platforms fit for different purposes.
Whether you or your workforce are back in your office or still working from home, this new technology offers us the amazing opportunity to connect with anybody, anywhere in the world,

at any time. I can speak at conferences without going there. It is a proven way to build stronger relationships with top people in our field and boost our productivity. But as our world becomes more virtual day by day, we are radically changing the way others see us and our companies. We need to look and sound as good as possible. We need to work harder than ever to increase our impact, influence, and income. We all have to become stars of our own show—on the computer sc reen.
While most of our most popular and profitable events were previously in-person events, we have been forced to quickly transition, to take what we once did in-person and transfer it into a digital format. Our virtual remote environment, self-presentation, and self-branding matter every bit as much or more than ever but come with a new set of unique challenges to be conquered. It is therefore essential that we get onboard FAST and sharpen our virtual presentation skills NOW!

The parallels between traditional one-on-one meetings or presentations in person and virtual or remote on-screen events are familiar and comfortable to some but may panic others. Success strategies typically determine whether virtual events are magical or mediocre. Knowing the following strategies and tips for efficient and effective video communication, such as avoiding distractions, technical glitches and miscommunication, can help control ‘video anxiety’ or ‘video ph obia.’
Attention in this publication focuses first on environmental and technical preparations followed by content and slide preparation. Relevant topics that are generally not covered in other publications relate to self-presentation, including details about dress, grooming, body language, speaking, and stress manage ment.
This manual serves as a guide for you as producer, presenter, and participant. It becomes an engagement-driven learning experience, enabling all to develop a professional, yet standardized performance so that clients will experience and come to expect the same level of attention, professionalism, efficiency, consistency, and courtesy from you and your colleagues each time they connect. Said competency will be positively noticed and valued regarding branding efforts as well as affect bottom-line results. Read the sections that interest you; then file the book for future reference when you realize that all the sections are all impor tant.
CHAPTER 2
Planning the Event
Virtual events serve to take the place of in-person events, to be planned exclusively for on-line participants. Be it a virtual meeting or virtual conference, you need to think ahead and develop an intelligent, solid, proactive plan for success. You must prepare the people expected to attend. Set their expectations, why they are asked to attend, when, and where. Planning allows you to build in more interaction and participa tion.

I was a participant in a recent virtual presentation, primed to arrive on time, pay attention, and increase my knowledge of the topic. The presenter was late — 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes late. Worse, he presented himself with bedhead and a rumpled shirt. He wasn’t prepared. Supposedly he had to download some software and pick up new lighting. No amount of excuses saved the day and he never recovered. It was a virtual disaster.
When planned, prepared, and practiced effectively, virtual meetings, presentations, and conferences can be as effective and productive as live events, ensuring that you communicate effectively. They allow you to bring together participants separated by geography and strengthen relationships. They are going to revolutionize the workplace.
In addition, virtual meetings generally take less time, less labor, and cost less as well. The ability to display names on the screen does wonders to avoid embarrassment if you forget someone’s name. Being guilty of this again and again, I love seeing those names. It’s like everyone has on a nametag. Terrific!
Event planners are now more equipped to put on q virtual event than ever before. Nonetheless, your technology and tools are only as good as your ability to use them. Just assume some of your technology will fail. If you prepare, practice, practice, practice according to your plans, and keep your cool, your virtual presentation should be a success. Amazing!
