How Can You Include People Who Cannot Travel to Your Event?

An interested person may miss your event because of distance, cost, timing or caring responsibilities. Adding remote access gives them another possibility while you continue to welcome guests at the venue. Start by finding out what would help the people you want to include.

What can Live VR offer?

A headset-based 360° view can provide a remote perspective on the event’s setting. Present it as an additional attendance option, with a clear explanation of the camera viewpoint. Do not suggest that every aspect of being in the room is reproduced.

What barriers remain?

Viewers need suitable equipment, an account and a workable connection. Some people may prefer or require another format. Reducing travel does not automatically make an event accessible to everyone. Explain the supported options and invite people to ask about their requirements.

How can the programme help?

Publish the time zone, duration and breaks. Use clear speech and readable presentation material. Confirm any arrangements for questions before promising interaction. If a replay is offered, state what it includes and how viewers obtain access.

What should you ask afterwards?

Ask whether the option made attendance possible and which parts were difficult to follow. Use feedback to improve the next event. Adding Live VR is most useful when it responds to a real audience need, rather than treating a new attendance format as a complete solution for every person.
