Using Microsoft Teams Live Events and Webinars for all your Event Management Needs

In this session, we will look at how you can jumpstart your own production company on budget using Microsoft Teams Live Events and Webinars.

We'll start off by comparing the two types of events (Live Events and Webinars) and when to use a specific type of event. We'll then explore all the steps involved when planning for both types of events - what needs to happen to set up a webinar and what needs to happen to set up a live event.

We will also see how some of the Microsoft 365 apps can assist, such as Microsoft Forms for registrations, Microsoft Power Automate for adding conditional logic in your registration forms, creating accessible and inclusive presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint, analyze post-event data with Microsoft Power BI and other tools in the Microsoft stack as well as other third-party tools to further enhance the events you hold.
