“Representing a highly fragmented space, webinars and virtual events are ripe for market consolidation and technology unification,” said Roopam Jain, VP, Research, Information & Communication Technology at Frost & Sullivan. “Businesses will increasingly demand a unified end-to-end platform that meets the full spectrum of needs from online meetings to events of all sizes, spanning in-person, virtual and hybrid experiences. A single platform that integrates onsite and offsite tools allows customers to realize the full potential of hybrid events, including the ability to centralize audience analytics.”
Jain added: “Artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven insights along with hyper-personalization are becoming the cornerstone technologies. The market is seeing an unprecedented pace of innovation with intelligent software, allowing for AI-based attendee insights, personalized content and networking recommendations accelerating engagement and better business outcomes.”
To tap into the opportunities presented in the market, participants should:
- Harness the full potential of AI: Providers should tap into AI-enabled technologies that better capture timely, actionable insights to understand attendee engagement, event experiences, and outcomes.
- Reimagine virtual events: Aligning with experienced physical event organizers and producers can help virtual event providers move into the hybrid space while each party remains focused on their core competencies.
- Bridge the gap between virtual and physical: Focus on offering connected and unified experiences across a range of event types, and join modes leveraging technologies that allow physical and virtual events to complement, not cannibalize, each other.
- Focus on team collaboration integration: Create a vast ecosystem of third-party hardware, software and integrated collaboration technologies to simplify the process of the event lifecycle.
