At Selected, we're firm believers in the fact that there's simply no replacement for real, live-and-in-person events. The speakers, the attendees, the meetups, the side events, and, let's be honest, the parties (and for the rare few, the after parties) are what make them everything that we love.
That said, the world of events is evolving faster than ever before so we're here to help you figure out what's what, where to be & when!
Why are startup conferences more like business events in 2021?
The main reason startup conferences are more like business events in 2021 is because compared to previous years, startups are getting more business leads from the events they’re attending this year due to the fact that they can attend more international conferences without being blocked by travel restrictions since most events have moved online.
What’s the best way to prepare for online startup conferences?
One of the best pieces of advice we’ve heard regarding best tips to prepare for online conferences is to set an out of office message on your inbox AND any internal team chat platforms like Slack, etc on the day of the event. This will help you be more focused on the content and networking opportunities of the event itself and less distracted by the daily grind of work. Once you’ve set your OOO in place, you then need to make sure you have all the access links (and passwords) to get into the online startup conference itself as there can often be several platforms and varying links to access both the content and networking!
What are investors looking for from remote startup pitches?
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to address the current economic climate before the meeting - by adjusting your forecasts, metrics & valuation to reflect the big hit to public markets - otherwise, according to Jon Steinberg of Mountside Ventures “you could come across as naive, knock your credibility, and make building trust through a webcam even harder than it already is.” Also, don’t forget that your remote pitch is a 2-way meeting so it’s best to ask the investor(s) your own questions about why they’re best positioned to help you! Last but not least, make sure you understand the VC fund’s internal mechanics. Sebastian Toupy reminds us that “most founders understand that VC's invest in order to generate a significant return on investment (ROI). However, unless you've looked closely at a VC fund's mechanics, you might not fully grasp the magnitude of the ROI required or the expectations of your investors.”
What are some pros and cons of online vs. offline events?
The most obvious upside to attending online events is the convenience of not having to get on a plane, check into a hotel and be away from your office or family for days at a time! Another benefit of online events is the increased access to connecting with more international speakers & contacts that you might otherwise not have had the chance to meet in person. The biggest downside to online events (vs offline events) is the lack of exciting atmospheric energy that happens during offline events, including spontaneous meetings with potential clients and all the fun that happens after offline events like karaoke parties, etc ;) Whether we return to fully in-person events again in the near future, the fact remains that startup conferences are re-thinking business models with attendees in the form of pay-as-you-consume packages, add-on pricing for exclusive access to content and alternative experiences at premier prices.
