There are various types of virtual events but at the base level, they are all the same. They are events in which you have the opportunity to share content with an audience via bridge line or webinar.

Here are examples of virtual events:

• Teleseminar - the most basic type of virtual event. Hosted by yourself and a content expert or the content can be delivered by you. Done on a bridge line where people call in to listen to you, and possibly a guest speaker, speak on a specific topic. Can be free to attend or you can charge a fee for the event or just the recording.
  
• Webinar - a webinar is similar to a teleseminar with the main difference being that visuals are shown from your computer to your participant's computers. Webinars also, usually, have a space where your registrants can ask questions to you and / or your guest speaker.
  
• Group coaching program - a group coaching program is an on-going series of teleseminars that starts on a specific date and continues to an end date. The material is highly niched and the group is usually the same from the beginning of the program to the end. They are always a paid program and the price tag can be quite steep.
  
• Telesummit - a telesummit is a group of speakers that are brought together by one organization or event coordinator to speak on a specific theme. The event is packaged and sold as one event and the price tag is much higher than a standalone teleseminar. Some organizations use these as list builders and they upsell recordings and other items on the backend.
