Know about what Events are and the best practices about creating, conducting, and managing Events and attendees.
Overview
An event is a meeting, seminar, presentation, course, curriculum, virtual classroom, or recording that is moved to the Content Library and enhanced with pre-event and post-event management features. Event management capabilities include registration, automated reminders, surveys, and detailed tracking reports.
Create an event in the following situations:
You want participants to register. You also want the option to screen participants for the event based on their registration information.
You want to create branded event pages, such as listing and description pages that publicize the event as well as branded registration and login pages.
You want to customize the collected participant data for your reports. Because this data is based on registration information, it supplements the reports that relate to event content, such as the responses to quiz questions in a course or polling questions for a meeting.
You want people outside your organization to participate. Events are often listed on public websites, so many participants can find your event there and register at the site.
You want to send automatically generated email messages, such as invitations, reminders, registration confirmations, and thank you notes.
You want to track individual campaigns, such as email offers, search engine campaigns, or banner ad campaigns.
Event phases
An event progresses through three key phases:
Pre-event
Pre-event tasks include determining license availability, creating event content, setting permissions, and managing participant invitations, registrations, and reminders.
In-event
The in-event phase involves participant attendance. Presenter attendance is required for on-demand events and for events that include live meetings or seminars.
Post-event
Post-event activities include redirecting participants to a specified URL, responding to unanswered participant questions, and reviewing event-tracking data through surveys and reports.
Best practices for events
Here are some tips and tricks for tasks that you perform for live events and during meetings and seminars associated with events:
Create a lobby. The lobby can be a Chat pod where participants meet and greet each other before the event begins.
Use PowerPoint animations. Appropriate use of PowerPoint animations can bring an event to life with motion and sound. Don’t add so many, however, that the animations become distracting.
Incorporate polls into your event. Polls give you instant feedback so you know if your message is getting through. They provide an easy way for your audience to actively participate in the event.
Leverage video assets. If you have appropriate video files, add them to your events.
Coordinate carefully between co‑presenters. Choose Meeting > Enable Presenter Only Area to include items such as an agenda with notes and moderated Q&A pod. Consider giving presenters Enhanced Participant Rights versus Presenter Rights.
With preloaded content, do a dry run before the event, at the same time of day you intend to conduct the event (network traffic differs by time of day). Use the exact hardware and network connections you plan to use for the real event.
