Growth Factors in the Virtual Events Industry:

● Rising Number of Business Events

The global market for business networking, knowledge sharing and collaboration is expected to expand with an increase in the number of businesses operating at a global level. As per the World Bank, the number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) worldwide was recorded at almost 332.99 million in 2021. Making up over 90% of the world's workforce, businesspeople are a convenient demographic to consider for business meetings. With the growing number of business meetings, it is often difficult for a businessperson to attend all of them in person due to time and travel costs, or scheduling conflicts. Additionally, it's cost-prohibitive for more businesses to host in-person events. For instance, Event Cube reported that 65 percent of companies increased their event budgets in 2023. Virtual events can be accessed from anywhere where there is internet, so attendance is likely to be higher than in-person events. A vFairs survey, "The Future of Virtual Events" found 93.2% of participants would consider their virtual event a success based on attendance figures. The survey found 77.2% of respondents preferred virtual events as they are easier to attend than physical events and are driving growth in the virtual events market.

● Popularity of Online Streaming

Growing demand for online streaming instead of in-person presentations is driving the market. A February 2024 article from Forbes suggests that as streaming services become more common, households in the United States are expected to have multiple streaming platforms. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ are the three most popular streaming services, and 99% of American homes subscribe to at least one of the services. They feature live streaming, on-demand browsing, interactive features and audience interaction tools that could potentially benefit presenters and audience members in many ways. Today, online-presentations are also used by more presenters and organizations than just conference and seminar speakers. Webinars, virtual summits, product launch presentations, and training and workshop sessions are also considered virtual presentations. Various formats are being adopted as per industry needs and audience requirements, fueling the growth of the virtual events market. For instance, Yamaha Motor India hosted an event called 'Yamaha Virtual Launch' for the launch of new Yamaha products in January 2024. The reissues of the iPad Airs all launched on the same day in May of that year via a virtual event from Apple called the "Let Loose" event.

● Technological Advancements

An important factor in the rise of virtual events has been the development of streaming technology, giving ease and performance in streaming high-quality live video over the internet. A number of specialized virtual event technology platforms have been developed, giving a software solution to host, manage and support virtual events. They may include capabilities for organizing virtual venues, attendee registration and management, live chat, polls, and questions, and integration with customer relationship management (CRM) software and social media platforms. For example, in August 2023, Chati, one of the providers of virtual and hybrid events, launched its own hybrid audience interaction platform worldwide. The platform may also have other features, like breakout video chat rooms, where attendees can meet and talk to one another. Event companies also use mass-scale AI algorithms to analyze attendee data, such as registration and browsing history and event behavior. For example, in January 2024, Splash, an event marketing technology company with a global footprint, announced the official launch of Attendance Perceptions, a first-of-its-kind predictive AI tool for the event industry that estimates attendance based on attendance to similar events and provides recommendations to improve attendance. This is expected to greatly expand the virtual events market scope.

Key Trends in the Virtual Events Market

● Rise of Immersive Experiences through AR and VR

AR and VR technology is changing events. Event planners are looking to create 3D environments and virtual exhibitions that can give virtual attendees an experience similar to being physically present at an event venue. People can navigate, use, and interact with booths and digital objects in real-time which increases information retention in educational, medical, or entertainment environments. Large companies are also developing platforms for organizing hybrid metaverse events. As AR/VR devices become more affordable, they may become part of in-person events or virtual events that people attend remotely.

● Growing Popularity of Hybrid Event Models

More such hybrid events are likely to be occurring, where some people will attend in person and others will attend online. Hybrid events are attractive to companies because they allow a single host to reach both audiences, add flexibility and save money. Hybrid events have seen their most engagement in trade shows and exhibitions, product launches, and corporate conferences, on platforms that combine live broadcast, virtual lounges, and real-time data. The business world can benefit by attending face-to-face networking events that embrace the scalability of the web, and participants will benefit by being able to attend from anywhere. This may well be the future for large scale events.

● Data Analytics and Personalization in Virtual Events

Data-driven personalization is a differentiator for virtual events. AI-based analytics track attendees' behavior, preferences, and level of engagement to deliver tailored recommendations and post-event perceptions to participants. Organizers use this data to improve future events and marketing. Personalization may include individualized schedules, matchmaking algorithms to suggest other attendees to meet with, and content that adapts to audience interests. Machine learning will allow platforms to predict KPIs and ROI. As technology for virtual events continues to improve, analytics and personalization will become important for creating engaging experiences and measuring outcomes.
