Virtual events are growing in popularity, especially as the world continues to deal with the Covid-19. Fortunately, modern technology has made it possible for companies to host amazing online events that rival in-person versions, leading to many benefits for both event planners and attendees alike.

A virtual event, also known as an online event, is an interactive gathering that happens on the internet. Unlike in-person events, virtual ones aren't restricted to a single location. A remote attendee can join and participate from anywhere in the world, given he or she has access to the web.

Some events are completely virtual and every guest attends sessions from the comfort of their own home, favorite coffee shop, or wherever they might be. Others have both in-person and virtual components, which is also known as a hybrid event.

Lastly, virtual events are extremely measurable. Companies can easily learn which sessions were the most popular, how many people attended, where those attendees live, how they paid for their tickets, and much more. Just about every attendee action can be tracked and analyzed. This information can then be used to improve event strategy.
Now, let's take a look at How to Set Up a Virtual Event Website With WordPress In 5 Steps?

Step 1: Choose a WordPress Host and Domain
As with any website, the first step is to choose a WordPress host and register a domain name as per your business. If you’re setting up an event site on an existing WordPress site, you can skip this step.

There is a variety of WordPress hosting providers to choose from. Some, such as GoDaddy, Kinsta, let you purchase and register a domain with your plan.
