Virtual Events in San Diego

San Diego vendors, including Alliant Events, can help assist companies with setting up virtual events with webcasting, set design and production management capabilities.

Name: San Diego vendors can do it all,

from small events where you record your presentations at an in-house studio to large, multi-media productions with all sorts of online bells and whistles. There are all different types of packages and platforms—it just depends on what your needs are when it comes to the size and scope of your event. These packages can range from $1,500 to $30,000+, depending on your needs. 

How do you decide what services you need? 

As you are planning your event, you really need to think through the basics. What is your program trying to accomplish? Is it for training? Is it networking? How many people are attending? If you’ve already held a virtual event or meeting, send out surveys and review your attendees’ responses to help refine future programming. Looking through the chats from online events also can give insight into where the program worked and where it didn’t. 

Obviously, the speakers and panelists are as key as the topics they are going to cover. The content needs to be relevant, timely and engaging. You also need to coach your speakers on how to communicate in a digital format because it can be a difficult transition for those who rely on an audience to gauge their performance and pacing.

If you are trying to do a virtual happy hour or social event, you need to figure out how to keep your attendees engaged. The good news is that San Diego is home to a whole host of companies that can help work through those questions and design a package that makes sense. We have audio-video vendors as well as meeting management companies that can take on everything from creating a theme for the event to registration to event production. All of San Diego’s vendors can work through these questions with you as well as other important details such as bandwidth needs.

How is San Diego addressing meeting planners’ concerns about hybrid events?

The biggest issue is that of safety, and every venue in San Diego has worked tirelessly to develop capacity charts and social distancing diagrams. Also, our destination is unique in that we can hold outdoor events all year round, and we have a number of high-quality outdoor venues throughout the region.

How can the SDTA assist meeting planners with their hybrid/virtual events? 

We can serve as a resource and help connect you with the right vendors for your event. As always, your national sales director is your first stop as you think through your needs.
