Compelling reasons to plan a virtual event

While many event planners are juggling contingency plans up until the last minute, waiting to see what COVID-19 looks like in their community on the big day, we think there are several compelling reasons for you to decide now that your business competition will be virtual. 

1. Committing to a decision now lets you make a virtual event the best it can be. From testing technology, to helping judges navigate the online platform you can prepare for the best virtual event if you make the decision now instead of at the last minute. Plus, making a decision frees up a lot of mental space - and who can’t benefit from a little less stress these days?

2. Extend access to the greatest number of participants. Whether you’re welcoming students at different schools with different schedules, bridging geographic divides, or accommodating participants who are quarantining for health reasons, a virtual event is the most accessible way to host a competition.

3. VentureDash provides all the tools you need to run your best virtual business competition. Promotion, registration, judging, resources - we have it all.
