5 Virtual Conference Entertainment Ideas
Looking to host a virtual conference?
Maybe COVID-19 has forced you to swap your annual in-person gathering for a digital alternative. Or maybe you’ve heard about the benefits of virtual events and want to take advantage.
Whatever your reasons, if you’ve started planning an online get-together for your audience, you’ve probably wondered about virtual conference entertainment ideas.
That’s why we wrote this article! Keep reading to learn the four most popular entertainment options you can book for your virtual conference right now.
1. Hire a Comedian
Hire a comedian to perform during your virtual conference and relieve any stress felt by attendees. The right comedic act can also make your event more memorable.
When choosing a comedian to perform at your conference, you must answer a few questions. For example, do you want a stand up comedian or a sketch artist? And do you want your entertainer to perform live or would you rather them create a pre-recorded video?
Once you know the kind of comedian you want to partner with, it will be much easier for you to hire the right performer for your virtual conference.
2. Bring in a Magician
Comedians are great fun, but if you really want to amaze your audience, consider bringing in a magician to perform during your virtual event.
At Funny Business, we regularly connect companies with top-of-the-line magicians. In fact, Alakazoom, a new show that we offer in conjunction with Digital Deception, is a special tech-focused magic act that can be easily integrated into any virtual conference.
Whether you book Alakazoom or not, make sure your magician has worked with corporate clients before and knows how to entertain a professional crowd.
3. Set up a Virtual Escape Room
Here’s a wild idea: set up a virtual escape room for your virtual conference attendees to enjoy in between keynote speeches and break out sessions.
Escape rooms have grown in popularity in recent years. If you’re not familiar with the concept, participants are locked in a room for a specific amount of time and must solve a variety of puzzles in order to escape before the clock hits zero.
A virtual escape room is the same, except conference attendees will join a digital room, which they must escape (with the help of other participants) within the allotted time.
Virtual escape rooms are a great way for attendees to unwind after the day’s events. It can also help them sharpen their communication skills and network with other professionals.
4. Host a Virtual Trivia Night
If you’re not interested in booking a comedy act, magic show, or virtual escape room, consider hiring an experienced emcee to host an online trivia night for your virtual conference.
Trivia games are one of the best ways to keep virtual event attendees engaged. Why? Because they’re fun and require players to actively participate. They also allow folks to connect with other humans — something most people miss in these times of isolation.
The virtual trivia nights that Funny Business facilitates are always run by professional and experienced hosts. Our games can also accommodate groups of any size and often feature customized questions.
5. Hire a Professional Event Host
A good virtual event emcee will bring attendees together, engage your audience, keep the energy up, successfully transition from one presenter to the next, and more. You could argue that a virtual host is even more important than a live one because the virtual format is naturally less engaging. In many cases, an experienced, confident, and professional Emcee is ESSENTIAL to the success of online events.
Your virtual conference can be just as entertaining as an in-person one — especially if you take our advice and use one of the virtual conference entertainment ideas outlined above.
