Simulive - Simulate a Live Virtual Event

Everyone loves a great live event, but few people understand the headaches, costs, and stress of planning and having one. A simulive event is a great alternative because it perfectly simulates a live experience for audiences (hence the name), but it’s far less costly and stressful for event organizers. That’s because while it appears live, simulive content is prerecorded, so you know everything is going to play and work as expected. Simulive offers a great audience experience that reflects well on your brand and saves you a lot of money and effort.

There’s so much you can do to make a simulive event memorable and to deepen audience engagement. Overlays, quizzes and polls, in-video web content, chat, and other interactive elements keep attendees involved and further that feeling of being at a live event. But since everything is prerecorded, you can sit back and enjoy being at your event, too. And it’s so easy to implement, you can even do it yourself. There’s no need to hire some big, expensive agency to deal with all the complexities, because there aren’t any.

Event planners are already pressed to come up with fun and engaging virtual or hybrid events. Simulive gives them a safer, more predictable way to do that while delivering the benefits of a live experience. For marketers without an event person on staff, simulive is so easy and accessible, they can manage it on their own. Teams can record the content, get everything ready with an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface, and set it to go at the designated time. No more worrying about speakers being late (or not showing up at all), feeds cutting out, and the many other things that can go wrong with a true live event.
