What Do Students Need From Virtual Fairs?

Virtual events have taken center stage following the breakout of the Covid-19 pandemic last year. Social distancing, with masks and other precautions, has become mandatory at any public space. To overcome this shortcoming, physical event providers switched to the virtual format of events to reach out to their audience. 

Different sectors rolled out virtual events and the education institutes and event organizers were no different. Virtual Education events gained pace and started happening all across the world, helping students find their right school for higher education and equally helping parents find the right schools for their little ones.

Although both organizers and attendees miss physical events, can we ignore the benefits it has brought along with itself? In order to refill the void created by physical events, many virtual event platforms had cropped up and eventually started to help organizers deal with the crisis of recruiting students for higher education. Though video-conferencing apps were a preferred platform, virtual events platforms like ibentos set a different standard for student-institute networking and engagement.

ibentos is a virtual event platform helping event organizers, educational institutes, and organizations execute full-fledged virtual events with focus on marketing techniques and attendee engagement. What sets it apart from other platforms is its involvement in the world of events prior to the pandemic.

Check out how these engaged students at education events and what is in store for them to look forward to -

1. Virtual Education Fairs offer vast opportunities to students to network and engage like no other. It helps students connect with the University heads, representatives and alumni students.

2. Virtual Education fairs are also an opportunity to ask detailed questions to the institute representatives and schools. This means the students must be provided with a platform that allows them to connect seamlessly with the institute representatives.

3. Students benefit from the one-on-one meetings at Virtual Education Fairs. Student recruiters must keep in mind to set up the platform in a way that provides them all the information regarding scholarship opportunities, admission fees and courses which are available at the institute.

4. Virtual Education Fairs are an opportunity for students to gain as much knowledge as possible about the institute before they go ahead. Therefore, you as student recruiters must give an in-depth knowledge about the courses and what job opportunities could be available. Also, the Virtual Education Fair will gain more traction if you invite in the alumni to come and interact with the prospective students.

5. Attending the Virtual Education Fair is an opportunity for students to assess themselves and their eligibility to get into an institute. You, as student recruiters must give them the clarity of their possibility in getting into the institution.

6. As attendees, students attend the Virtual Education fairs to gain better perspective and understanding before getting into an institution. Make sure you make their time worthwhile, by conducting educational webinars or by giving them an opportunity to interact with educationists to clarify their doubts.

7. As student recruiters, your attendees must feel comfortable and made aware of their position. So, make sure you recruit a team of experts who help the students understand the need of getting into that particular institute, dive deeper into their apprehension regarding certain subjects and clear their doubts and queries.

The above steps can help you set up a Virtual Education Fair effortlessly and give an opportunity to the students to benefit from them. ibentos, a virtual event platform has been instrumental in helping colleges, universities and independent education event organizers hold virtual education fairs and be of use to the student community.
