Determining Your Virtual Event Format An online event can be structured in a variety of layouts depending on your goal for this particular event. Below are some popular formats you might consider.
Type	Description	Pros	Cons
One Speaker	A single presenter speaks, demonstrates, and answers questions from the audience.	Fewer people to coordinate and train on the Webinar tool.	A lone presenter is more likely to become the authority at the “front of the room,” which might make some in the audience reluctant to participate and ask questions.
Interview Style	Interviewer asks a set of predetermined questions.	More engaging to hear multiple voices.The fact that the interviewer is asking questions of the expert(s) often encourages the audience to do the same.	More people to train and coordinate.Scheduling the run-through and the actual webinar may be more difficult.
Moderated Panel Discussion	Multiple people on the line at the same time, with a moderator facilitating the discussion.	Offers a variety of voices and perspectives.	More people to train and coordinate.  Scheduling the run-through and the actual webinar may be more difficult.  Can be challenging to keep panelists from talking over each other.
Interactive	Audience members participate fully via instructor-led exercises and facilitated conversations.	If done well, participants receive a deeper understanding of the topic because they’re fully engaged in the dialog and the exercises.	Can only accommodate a small group. Requires a very skilled, experienced teacher/facilitator.

Equipment and Your Space

This is such a crucial element for a well put together virtual event, like a webinar or teleseminar.  Keep in mind that the webinar tool and format you choose will determine the type of equipment you’ll need.  In general, you will want to have the following:

• Headsets. The organizer and all presenters will need headsets — telephone headsets if your webinar tool uses a phone bridge or computer headsets if your tool uses integrated web audio. Technically, you can use the telephone handset if your webinar package has a phone bridge, but it’s distracting and tiring to lift a phone to your ear for an hour or more, especially when you’re using a mouse and keyboard. Never present a webinar using a speakerphone. Even in a quiet location the audio quality is often poor, and in noisier spots a speakerphone will pick up background noise.
• A power cord if you’re using a laptop, as a backup for your battery.
• A network cable to connect you directly to the network if you aren’t using a wireless connection.

Helpful hints:

•  Regardless of the equipment you use, please be sure you are in a quiet and calm environment with minimal distractions during the event so that you are fully present and can fully immerse yourself into the event and the experience. The space you choose should be as secluded as possible and free from outside distractions, such as construction noise, sirens, dogs barking or children playing.
•  For the call I highly recommend that you are on a land line, or a location that has very good cell service.
•  It also helps to have a script and your agenda in front of you, so that you can stay on track with the topic and timeline.
•  This may seem odd, but make sure you stay hydrated throughout the day before the event. Have a glass of water or tea close by. This will help prevent a possible hoarse voice, coughing or voice bubbles.
