Professionally Managed Events
Sometimes, conceptualizing a virtual event is overwhelming enough, never mind actually executing a flawless experience. This is where GlobalMeet’s Professionally Managed Events comes into play.
Because not a lot of platforms offer this level of hands-on virtual event management, let’s start with defining “professionally managed.” A professionally managed virtual event simply means that in addition to our software, you gain a team of GlobalMeet professionals to configure, customize and actually facilitate the event, along with any rehearsals. It’s like the difference between buying a movie camera and hiring a Hollywood production crew.
Step into the ultimate virtual event experience with our Professionally Managed Events option. With this package, you’re not just getting virtual event management assistance; you’re unlocking a collaboration with seasoned experts. Our team meticulously crafts every aspect of your event journey—from enhancing brand aesthetics to rigorous presenter rehearsals; we’re on top of every detail. Concerned about tech jitters for your presenters? We’ll host a thorough training session, ensuring they’re primed and ready. Plus, as the event draws near, our on-call support ensures you’re never left in limbo.
On the big day, while our team seamlessly runs the entire show, you can focus on what truly matters: the message and the audience. This leaves your team with the freedom to deliver top-notch content and relish the event themselves. With GlobalMeet’s Professionally Managed Events, you’re not just planning an event; you’re curating an unmatched virtual experience.
Professional Assistance
Enter GlobalMeet Professional Assistance for those that aren’t quite ready to take the self-service plunge. With this option, you get the best of both worlds—the flexibility of Self-Service Events with the safety net of expert support and guidance for events up to 10,000 attendees.
With Professional Assistance, you get everything included in the Self-Service Events package, plus a dedicated Event Production Manager who serves as your trusty sidekick during the live event. The production manager will join you 30 minutes before your event kicks off and stick around to professionally run your event for up to 60 minutes total. Additionally, your personal production manager will handle audio and video checks, review presenter controls and provide guidance on best practices to ensure a smooth event.
During the event itself, your Production Manager helps facilitate pretty much everything, from layout switching, managing headshots or video pinning to launching polls and Q+As and handling technical attendee questions. It’s the ideal hybrid approach for organizations looking for live event management and support but yet are still comfortable building the event itself.

Elevate Your Live Events with Confident Guest Participation
We empower guests – making sure they’re thoroughly prepared, relaxed, and in the moment for the broadcast. Special guests can ask their question on video with confidence ensuring their message is heard and answered during the live event. This enhances audience engagement, adds energy to the presentation, and shines a spotlight on the audience, not just the presenters.
You simply decide who joins your event on video to ask a question. We reduce the anxiety of an invited audience member ruining the meeting due to audio or video issues, empty chair no-shows or disruptive “zoom bombing” moments. Our experienced production managers facilitate the vetting of guests and conduct pre-checks before putting anyone live into a meeting to ask a question. The secret lies in meticulous preparation and meticulous screening.
