A virtual event platform is a software that enables users to host virtual conferences, meetings, seminars, online trade shows, virtual sports competitions, and other events. The web, software programs, and mobile browsers can all be used to access virtual events. These platforms require less capital but yield more significant profits. As a result, low-budget companies can also use these platforms. An essential component of the connection between clients and enterprises is considered a necessary and helpful form of communication in today’s worldwide and networked environment. Virtual events include video and audio conferencing, as well as live streaming and broadcasting. By merging developing technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and 3D simulation to mimic in-person event experiences, the platform enables virtual communication from faraway locations. The platform’s interactive features, including a live chat box, live polls, and one-on-one video and audio chats, allow thousands of individuals to discuss information in real-time.
Individuals can join in any event using digital media regardless of their location. Many web-based platforms are utilized to bring people from all over the world together to attend events. Furthermore, online communication and collaborative activities are fulfilling all aspects of a physical event with the integration of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The virtual events industry is growing because of a growing desire among enterprises to use digitally simulated platforms to manage time and resources effectively. Trade displays or exhibitions, video/audio conferences, summits, job fairs, and sales meetings are all examples of digitally simulated events. As a result of stay-at-home initiatives, the industry sees enhanced growth opportunities, as virtual events allow businesses to conduct their business procedures digitally.
Growing global adoption of digitally simulated platforms in various sectors, demand for intercontinental communication services for information sharing, the need for a communication platform, the rising popularity of Unified Communication as a Service, and innovative technologies are the factors driving the market. Lack of awareness, the growing threat of cyber-attacks while operating in a virtual environment, compatibility challenges at various corporate levels, and integrating virtual event software limit the market growth. The availability of several open-source, free solutions for event management, the outbreak of COVID-19, the importance of virtual event software as a powerful tool, and several open-source, accessible solutions for event management are predicted to drive market expansion.
