8. Virtual Events

Just as with an in-person event, careful consideration of logistical elements is paramount when organizing a virtual event. Start by deliberating on the online platform that best suits your needs. Different platforms offer various interaction capabilities for organisers, speakers, and attendees. It's essential to understand the capabilities and limitations of available platforms.

At present, the University's supported platforms for virtual events include Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams Live. These platforms offer versatile functionalities to create engaging and interactive virtual gatherings.

For additional guidance, we recommend referring to our Virtual Events Guide.
