While there are many ways to host a virtual summit, you’ll want to think about how your audience will respond to it before choosing the format and content for your event. Consider what kind of content your audiences are most interested in, how they’re likely to engage with it (will they watch a webinar, attend an interactive session, or follow along on social media?) and the type of information they need to hear from each speaker. To make your summits more engaging, try incorporating collaborative brainstorming tactics like mind mapping and starbursting to create an agenda that’s tailored to your audiences. You can also use tools like Answer The Public or Also Asked to find trending topics and popular questions on your industry’s topics of interest.
