Virtual workshops FAQs

  • The first step is to decide what your workshop will focus on — like educating employees or increasing product signups. Zone in on just one goal, and then settle on one specific idea so your workshop can be in-depth and interactive. Learn more in our guide to online workshops.

  • A virtual workshop is a collaborative discussion where you and your participants dive into a specific topic in detail. These workshops are typically far more interactive than traditional online meetings.

  • Interaction is important, so include plenty of activities and exercises that encourage attendees to chime in and participate — from small group discussions to demonstrations to brainstorming sessions.

  • If you want to keep things simple, you’ll only need a reliable internet connection, a video conferencing solution, and ideally, a way for people to collaborate virtually (hint: an online whiteboard tool like Miro). Learn more in our guide to collaborative workshop facilitation.
