An Instructional Designer’s Guide to Exceptional Virtual Events

It’s official: Most associations and event planners have made the long-term switch to virtual events. In fact, according to Event Manager Blog's Experience Design Report (2021), “Almost three-quarters of planners (71%) plan to continue to employ a digital strategy to maintain their virtual audience once they return to physical events.”

So, for most associations, virtual events will now become one of the primary drivers of membership and education revenue. Understanding how to design and deploy engaging webinars may well be the most valuable instructional design skill of this decade.
