According to Leesa Barnes, one of the leading authorities on virtual events, a virtual event is a “learning occurrence that happens on demand over the phone, online or on a portable media player.”
In other words, instead of driving to a building and walking into a room or instead of flying to a city to attend training in a boardroom or hotel conference room, you pick up your phone, or launch your browser, or turn on your portable player (such as an iPhone, iPod Touch or Android) and learn from the comforts of your home, office or while you’re on the go.
Bottom line: No travel! Great information!
