A virtual event is an online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment on the web, rather than meeting in a physical location. Virtual events are multi-session online events that often feature webinars and webcasts. As the CoronaVirus is spreading all over the world, many industry events have been postponed, cancelled or transformed into virtual events. These modern tools allow attendees to connect from all over the world into an immersive online experience.
