A webcast is the broadcasted video component of a live conference, presentation, workshop or lecture delivered in-person. By broadcasting a live event, a webcast becomes the hybrid experience between a webinar and an in-person event.

Anytime Conferencing, also known as “reservationless” calling, is a great tool for smaller, on-the-fly collaboration calls where you want several people to be able to participate in a conversation. These can be used as small, audio-only meeting rooms for several participants.

An audio conference is a professionally produced conference that is facilitated by a professional moderator and enables you to optimally deliver your message to a large audience. In an Audio Conference, participants should mostly be on listen-only / mute with the exception of Q&A sessions. This will eliminate unwanted noise and allow for a more professionally executed event. Conference Moderators can be utilized to manage participants and ensure a technically seamless event.

A few minutes before the conference begins, your participants will call a toll-free number and either enter their PIN or be greeted by a live operator. This will put them into a “waiting room” where they will hear music or pre-recorded commercials (depending on how the event was set-up) until the event begins at its specified time. Once the BeaconLive moderator begins the call, all attendees are brought in on listen-only mode. The operator will greet the participants and continue to moderate the event.

A virtual event utilizes webinars, webcasts, virtual breakout sessions, virtual exhibit halls/booths, chatrooms, live polling and other virtual activities to create captivating, informative and interactive experiences. BeaconLive has 50+ features that can be built into any virtual event to make the experience unique, engaging and technically seamless. Some of our features include live polling, breakout sessions, Event Emcees, Sponsorship opportunities, facilitated Q&A or chatrooms.

Creating a virtual event is similar to creating an in-person event. You will want to organize your speakers, presentation materials and schedule of your event. BeaconLive will work with you to add customized branding and sponsorship opportunities, prepare and upload any multimedia presentation materials, build breakout sessions, chatrooms, live polling and other engaging activities as well as market and promote your event.

A hybrid event is any in-person conference, trade-show, celebration, presentation, workshop or lecture that has an added virtual component. Hybrid events utilize webcasts and webinars with added virtual components like breakout sessions, chatrooms, live polling, sponsorship and networking opportunities, custom websites and virtual technical support staff to ensure a seamless and integrative event.

Virtual conferences allow the presenter to reach a much larger audience. They are often much more cost-effective, as a presenter does not need to travel, rent out space, nor provide food and drink for attendees. Virtual events and conferences are also a more sustainable way to gather large groups of people.

To add a virtual component to your event you must work with a virtual event provider like BeaconLive. BeaconLive will help you to broadcast any in-person experience to thousands of online participants. Interactive activities like breakout sessions, virtual exhibits/booths, chatrooms and live polling will be added to your virtual event to ensure audience engagement.

Continuing Education (CE) certificates verify that an individual attended a CE event. This event can be online or in-person. The certificates are granted in a semi-automated fashion via the CEC application. After a participant views a Live or On-Demand CE even, they can receive CE certificates based on a number of criteria and combinations. The participant may receive an individual certificate or a combination of a few based on the course they are taking. The participant must watch the entire Live or On-Demand event and may be prompted to complete a quiz or evaluation in order to receive credit. BeaconLive can tailor any course to specific CE requirements and customize desired evaluations.
