Virtual Emcee

Add the Human Element to Your Hybrid Events

Any event requires a combination of content + engagement. The content gets people in the door…and the engagement keeps them there and makes them want to come back for more. But the fact remains that the virtual audience is not physically at the event and consequently may feel like an outside observer. Someone who is unwelcomed and unwanted.

Fortunately, a virtual emcee has the ability to reach through the camera lens and the computer screen to create a personal connection with each and every member of your virtual audience. The virtual emcee brings the “human element” and the “interpersonal connection” to your hybrid or virtual event, and enables your virtual audience to have an emotional attachment to what is occurring. They have the ability to knock down the “fourth wall” and erase the technology barriers to make sure that your virtual audience feels welcomed, appreciated, and taken care of….and not isolated, ignored, or taken for granted.

Renown creator of the role of virtual emcee, Emilie Barta, is at the beck and call of your virtual audience. Emilie’s expertise and commitment to excellence is recognized internationally by the association, non-profit, and corporate industries. She has the ability to keep your virtual audience engaged in a more personal way even though they are not physically at the event. And she allows them to not only share in the experience, but to have an experience that is all their own.

 To ensure that your virtual audience feels appreciated and like an active, not passive, participant in your hybrid event, allow Emilie Barta to be the conduit for your virtual audience!
