Virtual Experiences that Connect

Trisha Leon-Guerrero, founder of Experiences on Demand Events, is an expert in creating events that foster connection- even in our virtual pandemic world. Some of her top tips for planning virtual work meetings and events:

• Get on the same page. Whether it’s a wedding, a fundraising event, or a launch party, it’s essential that everyone is clear and aligned on the purpose and vision for the event.

• Focus on feelings. Trisha is guided in her work by the words of Maya Angelou- “People will never forget how you made them feel.” She is emphatic that it IS possible to foster authentic connection and community virtually, especially if you center the experience and feelings of participants.

• Add capacity. Especially right now, when organizations are running pretty lean, consider investing in extra capacity to plan and produce important events. Virtual and hybrid events have tons of moving parts and there are infinite ways things could go wrong. Knowing that someone is 100% responsible for the event plan (even when obstacles arise!) allows all attendees to be fully engaged and present.
