A virtual summit is when you host a gathering of speakers and experts who all speak about a specific topic. As the summit host, you decide the topic and who you want to interview.
There are many reasons to host an event:
- Build credibility
- Become seen as an influencer in your industry
- Grow your list… attract clients
- Generate income… fill programs and sell products
- Increase invitations to speak at events
The most common reason for hosting an event is list growth. FYI – You still get all the other benefits even if your main goal is list growth. :)
They work because you are leveraging the lists of others in your industry. You could have a small list and you can still host an event. Your list size doesn’t matter, because you are capitalizing on the lists of your guests.
Virtual summits are an excellent launch platform to drastically grow your business in a relatively short period of time. You not only grow your list of potential clients, you instantly position yourself as an influencer in your industry.
By surrounding yourself with other key people in your industry, you immediately accelerate your ascension as a thought leader within that industry.
The virtual summit puts you at the summit!
You start collaborating with other who's who in the industry and by the virtue of doing so you become one of them. Immediately.
So it's a total bypass of a huge credibility building curve. What would take you two years, can take you three months.
However, hosting a virtual summit is a major undertaking with many moving parts.
