Virtual meetings and events are the best way to keep people connected. Yet at the same time, “Zoom fatigue,” has become a real thing. Add on the distractions of working from home – i.e., family, delivery drivers, or pets – and in a blink, your attendees bummed out.
Here are just a few creative ideas to help you re-energize virtual meetings.
- Use dynamic video, music, and motion graphics to keep all eyes and ears on the content.
- For large groups, integrate polls, Q&As, and other engagement tactics to help improve interactivity.
- Icebreakers and energizers are best practices for kicking off meetings, starting conversations, and boosting networking.
- Virtual teambuilding activities, like scavenger hunts, are great for boosting morale and brainpower. Break up long events with virtual escape rooms or gameshow-style sessions.
- Add health and wellbeing breaks to your event, e.g., virtual yoga or meditation to break up intense sessions.
- Book music or magicians. You read that right. Book a DJ, comedian, or magician for an online appearance to celebrate the end of a successful event.
