You can\u2019t just hope that people will connect with each other in the hallway or during breaks like an in-person networking event. Instead, you have to create the opportunity for networking.<\/p><p>Make sure that your virtual networking strategy includes the following:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time slots dedicated to networking<\/b> \u2013 It\u2019s helpful to provide clear opportunities for networking. Make the time for it in your event schedule, and clearly name all networking sessions, so people know what to expect.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Virtual networking spaces<\/b> \u2013 You should also create spaces dedicated to networking. While chat can be helpful for certain meetings, most events should go above and beyond chat with special virtual rooms designed for networking.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fun virtual networking ideas and prompts<\/b> \u2013 You need to break the ice. Offer games, questions, and prompts to give people something to talk about.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>A motivation for networking <\/b>\u2013 Do people want to share advice on shared problems? Do they want to expand their business network? Figure out why people want to network and use when strategizing.<\/li><\/ul><h3><b>Things to consider when choosing virtual networking ideas<\/b><\/h3><p>Use these factors to help you determine which ideas will best fit your virtual networking event.\u00a0<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your audience<\/b> \u2013 How tech-savvy is your audience? Are they tired of seeing the same virtual networking event ideas used again and again? Are they hard to impress? The answers to these questions will help you decide which ideas will truly work.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tentative group size <\/b>\u2013 With a very small group, you can implement simple icebreakers and chat prompts. But the more attendees you have, the more effort you need to put into facilitating networking.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Capabilities of your virtual event technology<\/b> \u2013 There\u2019s only so much networking you can do with Zoom. If you\u2019re using basic tech, you might not be able to implement some of our more advanced ideas. (See how you can take interactivity to the next level with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/platform\/ax360\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Airmeet AX360<\/a>.)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The goal of the event <\/b>\u2013 Networking should feel like a natural extension of your event\u2014not something you\u2019re forcing onto everyone. Make sure that the ideas you choose match the purpose of each event, whether that\u2019s knowledge transfer, team building, community building, or something else.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>Now, onto our best virtual networking ideas!<\/p><h2><b>Virtual networking ideas that work great for any event\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a238b64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a238b64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-Networking-\u2013-Ideas-to-Transform-your-Next-Virtual-Event-1024x908.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-102337\" alt=\"Virtual Networking \u2013 Ideas to Transform your Next Virtual Event\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-Networking-\u2013-Ideas-to-Transform-your-Next-Virtual-Event-1024x908.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-Networking-\u2013-Ideas-to-Transform-your-Next-Virtual-Event-300x266.png 300w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-Networking-\u2013-Ideas-to-Transform-your-Next-Virtual-Event-768x681.png 768w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-Networking-\u2013-Ideas-to-Transform-your-Next-Virtual-Event.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea08eac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea08eac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These concepts are a great fit for all sorts of meetings and virtual networking events.<\/p><h3><b>1.

For\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/virtual-conference-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual conferences<\/a>\u00a0with lots of activities and sessions, you can have Social Lounges available the entire time. Whereas for webinars they\u2019re typically best offered before or after the main content. A dedicated space like a Social Lounge might be the key to a successful virtual networking event.<\/p><h3><b>3. Proximity-based networking rooms<\/b><\/h3><p>Why not gather people together virtually based on proximity? After all, that\u2019s how conversations flow at large conferences.\u00a0<\/p><p>With Airmeet, you can create what we call<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/blog\/host-virtual-events-that-inspire-upgrade-your-events-fluid-space\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Fluid Spaces<\/a>, which mimic the way that people walk around a room. Attendees can move their digital avatar around the Fluid Space, and then the proximity-triggered algorithm will automatically place nearby people in the same networking room. People can join different conversations in a fluid manner.<\/p><p>And with our megaphone feature, you can announce upcoming sessions or offer icebreaker prompts and ideas.<\/p><h3><b>4. Virtual speed networking event<\/b><\/h3><p>Speed networking is the backbone of any virtual networking event. It is so effective because the lightning-fast format adds an element of fun that puts everyone at ease.<\/p><p>You can host a dedicated speed networking events or sprinkle some speed networking sessions throughout your conference schedule.\u00a0<\/p><p>To<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/product-blog\/speed-networking\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> manage speed networking with Airmeet<\/a>, all you have to do is setup a Social Lounge and choose the time duration for the speed networking feature. We recommend 2 to 5 minutes per session. And make sure to have dedicated time slots for speed networking so you ensure enough people are available to participate.\u00a0<\/p><h3><b>5. Interest tags<\/b><\/h3><p>Interest tags can help people strike up conversations with event attendees that share similar interests. With Airmeet, you can add<a href=\"https:\/\/help.airmeet.com\/support\/solutions\/articles\/82000884348-how-to-add-custom-interest-for-attendees-profile-\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> custom interest tags<\/a> based on your company, industry, or event topic. Each attendee can select the ones they like. Then, throughout your virtual event, people will be able to see others\u2019 interest tags and will be able to use this information to choose their connections.<\/p><h3><b>6. Two truths and a lie<\/b><\/h3><p>Two truths and a lie is a simple icebreaker that offers a great way to kickstart networking. Break everyone out into small groups or Social Lounges and encourage them to share their two truths and one lie. Then have participants guess which statement is the lie. It\u2019s so fun that it should definitely reserve a spot in your list of networking event ideas\u00a0<\/p><h3><b>7.

We suggest opening it 30 to 60 minutes before your event. Make sure to prepare some icebreaker questions ahead of time to get the chat flowing.<\/p><h3><b>8. Host a GIF war in the chat<\/b><\/h3><p>Play to your strengths with the idea that only works for online events and can\u2019t be replicated offline. Host a<a href=\"https:\/\/help.airmeet.com\/support\/solutions\/articles\/82000890633-how-to-send-gifs-on-your-airmeet-event-\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> GIF war in the chat<\/a> by encouraging everyone to post their all-time favorite GIF. Or ask a question and tell people to answer it with a GIF. This will get everyone interacting before or during your event.<\/p><h3><b>9. Would you rather<\/b><\/h3><p>You can also play a game of would you rather. This is one of the most fun virtual networking ideas because it encourages everyone to use their imaginations and share their opinions. Theme your question to your audience or the event. For instance, if the event is about yoga, ask if people would rather go on a yoga retreat for two weeks or have a yoga instructor come to their house every day for a year.<\/p><h2><b>Virtual networking ideas for large groups<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-102338 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-ideas-for-large-groups-1024x561.png\" alt=\"Virtual networking ideas for large groups\" width=\"800\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-ideas-for-large-groups-1024x561.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-ideas-for-large-groups-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-ideas-for-large-groups-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-ideas-for-large-groups.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/b><\/h2><p>Use these networking ideas for virtual events with lots of attendees.<\/p><h3><b>10. Host cooking or crafting classes in smaller groups<\/b><\/h3><p>Cooking and crafting classes are popular at virtual events. You can ship out the materials ahead of time and engage everyone in a fun activity, be it cookie baking or candle making.\u00a0<\/p><p>But with large groups, it can be hard for people to interact with each other. Try breaking up the same concept into smaller groups. So, a company of 50 people might all be creating the same craft, but in 10 different breakout rooms. This way, there are only 5 different people in each room, and it\u2019s much easier to comment on each others\u2019 silly creations. You can have everyone watch a simple tutorial together before they get started.<\/p><h3><b>11.

Have everyone provide clues about themselves to the moderator, who will then share these with the group at large.\u00a0<\/p><p>Depending on the size of your virtual group, you can have people guess aloud or in the chat.

Company trivia<\/b><\/h3><p>Come up with a mix of easy and difficult trivia questions about your company and posit them to your team. To adapt this idea for large events, make sure to use breakout rooms, so people have a chance to interact with each other better. You could make those breakout rooms competitive, or have people collaborate as teams within the rooms to try and get more right answers than any other team.\u00a0<\/p><h3><b>21. Planned one-on-ones for strategic intros<\/b><\/h3><p>If you\u2019re hosting an important company event and you want to make sure that the right people get a chance to interact, you should coordinate meetups.

Then, tell people who they\u2019re supposed to be chatting with during networking opportunities, or setup the conference room links for each pair.<\/p><h3><b>22. Finger food and cocktails to set the mood<\/b><\/h3><p>Food and drinks are always a great way to get people talking. Not only do they set the tone, but they also give people ideas for small talk.

Small fireside chats<\/b><\/h3><p>In the business world, people want to spend time with people they can learn from. Invite business leaders and niche experts to host intimate fireside chats.

Self-led sessions with 6 participants max<\/b><\/h3><p>Convert any event topic into a virtual networking session by letting participants host it themselves. For instance, let\u2019s say you have 3 different networking session topics (revenue operations team structure, churn analysis, and business alignment). For each of these session categories, provide several different time slots to ensure that people can book the sessions they want while still keeping the room sessions small. Then, have everyone chat about that topic and share their best advice.<\/p><h3><b>25. Chat questions that kickstart networking<\/b><\/h3><p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019ll be hosting Fluid Spaces or Social Lounges right after a speaker\u2019s session. You could help people identify who they want to interact with the most by having everyone answer a question in the chat. For instance, you might ask people to share their number one weakness, pain point, or question as well as their number one strength or skill. Then encourage people to read the chat responses and find someone whose responses aligns with their own.<\/p><h3><b>26.

Attendees can then collaborate, bounce ideas off each other, and collectively develop potential solutions or strategies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29bc518 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29bc518\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Virtual networking event ideas for award ceremonies<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d91e7a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d91e7a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-event-ideas-for-award-ceremonies-1024x490.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-109363\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-event-ideas-for-award-ceremonies-1024x490.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-event-ideas-for-award-ceremonies-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-event-ideas-for-award-ceremonies-768x368.png 768w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Virtual-networking-event-ideas-for-award-ceremonies.png 1237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44802ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44802ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>43. Meet and greet<\/b><\/h3><p>Allow your event attendees to meet each other before the live award ceremony. Establish a matchmaking setup and make attendees connect with other attendees for a quick 3-5 minutes of conversation.\u00a0<\/p><p>After the end of each round of conversation, participants will automatically connect with the next available attendee. The meet and greet session helps attendees establish new connections with others and also connect with their peers, friends, colleagues, and other stakeholders.<\/p><p>You can also create meet-and-greet sessions by dividing attendees into different breakout rooms or leveraging a networking lounge, enabling them to engage with each other in a roundtable, a more formal setup.\u00a0<\/p><h3><b>44. Spotlighting the awardee<\/b><\/h3><p>Spotlight the awardees of the night by bringing them on stage during the award ceremony. This will provide each of the awardees their special moment with them on stage, even in a virtual setting.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is also a great opportunity for awardee to individually interact with the hosts and award presenters on stage. Allow the awardee to share a few words about their experience.\u00a0<\/p><h3><b>45. Award after-party<\/b><\/h3><p>Use the networking lounge or breakout rooms to host a party post-award ceremony. It can be a cocktail or gala where all awardees, attendees, hosts, organizers, sponsors, and chief guests gather together to celebrate the night.\u00a0<\/p><p>Keep a dress code or have a themed-based after-part to make it more immersive and captivating. Assign attendees different breakout rooms or allow them to join the lounge, take a seat with their peers and converse.\u00a0<\/p><p>If you\u2019re an Airmeet user, you can also leverage our Fluid Space feature and allow attendees to connect with each other at their own accord. In fluid space, your attendees can float around, find other participants within the range and directly engage.\u00a0<\/p><h3><b>46. Create memories with virtual photo booth<\/b><\/h3><p>Integrate a virtual photo booth into the award ceremony event and offer attendees an opportunity to have fun and take pictures with their peers, friends, sponsors, and other stakeholders.\u00a0<\/p><p>This virtual networking activity will create a fun environment, adding an element of surprise and allowing participants to create memories.\u00a0<\/p><p>You can also set up a virtual gallery where all the pictures are displayed and your audience can roam around the gallery reminiscing about memories.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d18b1a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d18b1a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>47. Virtual Meal Sharing<\/b><\/h3><p>Virtual meal-sharing is an excellent idea that works for both small and large gatherings. It will give attendees more time where they can talk about their hobbies, share personal experiences, and so on.<\/p><p>For example, you can send out meal coupons to each attendee and allow them to order their choice of food, such as a sandwich, pizza, and burger. Add those attendees in one group (3-4 members) who have the same meal, and allow them to connect, mingle, and have their meal together.<\/p><h3><b>48. Pre-Event Picture Competition<\/b><\/h3><p>If you want to build a buzz around your networking event, hold a pre-event picture competition. You can ask participants to share pictures under a specific theme, like virtual office setup, best photo they have ever clicked, and so on. Plus, you can encourage participants to share cool photos they&#8217;ve taken of their pets. After everyone has shared their photos, you can ask everyone to vote for the picture they liked the most. The picture with the most votes is declared the winner of the contest and offered prizes.<\/p><h3><b>49. DIY Craft Challenge<\/b><\/h3><p>This is an engaging endeavor that will spark your participants&#8217; imagination. You can ask attendees to make DIY crafts with products they have around. Floral purse, paper bowl, drawstring pouches, cup wraps, paper gift topper, and paper flowers are some of the easiest DIY crafts that you can ask your attendees to make. After attendees complete their challenges, have everyone show off their art. Before giving a DIY craft challenge to attendees, just ensure that participants have all the materials needed to make the craft.<\/p><h3><b>50. Skill Swap<\/b><\/h3><p>This is a fantastic activity that allows team members to teach their colleagues the skills they are good at. Allow your workforce to exchange skills and expertise with each other, such as coding, marketing, graphic design, and more. Form a group of people with similar learning skills so that everyone can be taught at the same time. Lastly, get feedback from everyone and ask them how they felt about learning that specific skill.<\/p><h3><b>51. Virtual Bingo<\/b><\/h3><p>Virtual bingo is a great icebreaker game to add more fun to your virtual networking events. It not only brings excitement but also encourages participation, which keeps the energy level of the attendees high. Most importantly, this game is easy to set up and play. It is suitable for any group size and perfect for both small and large remote teams.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-421fd36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"421fd36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>How to choose a virtual events platform designed for networking<\/b><\/h2><p>To help you manage these virtual networking event ideas, you need the right tools.<\/p><p>With a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/blog\/virtual-event-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual event platform<\/a>\u00a0designed for connectivity, you can easily create bespoke virtual networking sessions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50d1d38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"50d1d38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/virtual-events-platform-designed-for-networking.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-99001\" alt=\"virtual events platform designed for networking\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/virtual-events-platform-designed-for-networking.png 512w, https:\/\/dev-hub.airmeet.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/virtual-events-platform-designed-for-networking-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12741be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12741be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Airmeet comes equipped with:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Chat replies and emoji reactions<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Breakout rooms<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Social Lounges<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Fluid Spaces<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Speed networking<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Exchangeable profile cards<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Interest tags\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Ability to host trivia, polls, and Q&amp;A<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Connect meeting attendees together in meaningful ways with our virtual networking platform,<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmeet.com\/hub\/platform\/ax360\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <b>AX360<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00a5f82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00a5f82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h2><p>While virtual events may not offer the opportunity for face-to-face conversations and meetings, they are still important.
