Whether for a short, targeted meeting or as a means to have key presenters to join a large face-to-face meeting they aren’t able to join in person, being able to virtually present in a meeting has advantages. However, being able to plan, chair, facilitate and participate in a successful virtual session brings a number of challenges. Virtual speaker management requires more attention to detail than managing face-to-face speakers. You have to overcome both the technical as well as the interpersonal challenges posed by not having the speaker at the event. This session will cover best practices to effectively plan for and manage your speaker to present an engaging virtual session.

Learning objectives:

• Understand technical and interpersonal aspects of presenting virtually
• Understand how to coach presenters to keep their audiences engaged even when not face-to-face
• Recognize dos and don’ts of presenting virtually
