When the world shut and events went online only, we struggled to find ways to keep engagement and production value. While many events have returned to live or hybrid, some have stayed online only. Budgets have shrunk and travel costs have risen, but the need to meet, train, and inspire remains.

In this practical session, Rich Harrington breaks down how to plan, produce, and direct polished virtual events and webinars with remote guests. You’ll learn how to build a reliable backend, prep speakers so they look and sound great, and create a consistent on-camera style across a mix of locations and gear. We’ll also cover staffing models that scale up or down, techniques to keep viewers engaged, and what to measure after the event so each production gets better. Whether you’re producing internal trainings, customer webinars, or public-facing virtual conferences, you’ll walk away with a clear playbook you can use on your next show.
