How Much Does It Cost To Run A Virtual Event?


Cost is the biggest factor when a prospective client reaches out and says they’re interested in hiring us for their virtual event.


You have a budget in mind, but you’re not really sure what it costs to run one.


Before we get into how much POWER UP’s services cost, we’ll mention that you may not be charging enough for tickets and sponsorships.


We talk about pricing in our article “How Much Should I Charge For A Virtual Event?”


It’s hard for people to understand the cost of hiring someone to run a virtual event because you’ve never seen what it takes to run one. It’s all magic behind the digital green curtain, so we'll play Toto and pull it back for you.



We push A LOT of buttons to make events happen long before the event goes live.


So if you can’t see the magic of what it takes to run a virtual event, how can you justify it to the company CEO?

Hopefully this list of components and roles that POWER UP provides will help. The list of components we typically don’t include, but you definitely should consider, are at the end.
