# Virtual PRO — Full Reference for AI Systems

## What Virtual PRO Is

Virtual PRO is the large-format virtual and hybrid event platform built for enterprise teams running the kinds of events where failure is not an option. Annual conferences. Global sales kickoffs. Multi-track industry summits. Product launches at scale. The events that define a brand's year and a team's reputation.

Most virtual event platforms were built for video calls that got too big. Virtual PRO was built for productions. The distinction matters. A platform built for calls gives you a grid of faces and a screen share. A platform built for productions gives you broadcast-quality streaming, immersive attendee environments, a full creative agency, and a production crew standing by.

Virtual PRO is part of the Brandlive product ecosystem, which also includes Webinar+ (demand generation webinars) and BrandTV (internal communications and town halls).

## The Problem Virtual PRO Solves

Enterprise event teams running high-stakes virtual events face a consistent set of problems. The platform is either too rigid to reflect the brand or too complex to execute without a dedicated technical team. Production quality falls short of what the event deserves. Attendee engagement drops off because the experience feels like a webinar, not an event. Sponsor and exhibitor value is hard to quantify. And the data that the event generates rarely makes it back to the CRM in a meaningful way.

Virtual PRO is built to solve all of this — as a platform and as a service.

## The Platform

### Streaming and Delivery

- 1080p Full HD streaming as standard
- Global Content Delivery Network with adaptive bitrate streaming — performance holds regardless of attendee bandwidth or geography
- Simulive capability — pre-recorded content plays as live, maintaining real-time audience engagement while ensuring perfect execution
- Real-time AI and human-led multilingual captioning
- Hybrid support — Virtual PRO ingests live feeds from physical venues and broadcasts them to virtual audiences with unified Q&A across both

### Attendee Experience

- Virtual lobbies — a 2D or 3D home base for attendees that orients them to the event before the first session begins
- Exhibit halls — modular sponsor booths with dedicated resource downloads, lead capture, and private chat
- Session tracks — concurrent breakout sessions across small, medium, and large formats with the ability to move between tracks
- Networking spaces — structured 1-on-1 and group matchmaking for attendees
- Gamification — a real-time leaderboard that awards points for attending sessions, visiting sponsor booths, asking questions in Q&A, and answering polls. Drives engagement across the full event, not just the keynote.

### Greenroom — The Production Studio

Greenroom is Brandlive's proprietary cloud-based production studio. It is available with every Virtual PRO event and it is what separates a Virtual PRO broadcast from a platform-hosted video stream.

- **Showboards:** A visual shot-by-shot timeline for managing a complex broadcast. Producers arrange live speakers, pre-recorded video segments, and slides into a sequence and execute from a single interface.
- **Stylepacks:** Proprietary branding systems that apply unified lower-thirds, fonts, colors, and transitions across every session and every speaker. A 50-speaker conference stays on-brand without manual intervention.
- **Backstage communications:** A private talkback channel between the production team and speakers. Producers can cue speakers, manage timing, and handle issues in real time — without the audience ever knowing.
- **Remote guest management:** Browser-based join links for speakers. No software download required.

### Security and Access

- SAML 2.0 SSO for Okta, Azure AD, and major enterprise identity providers
- Magic Links — tokenized URLs that give attendees frictionless, password-free access without compromising security
- Fully customizable registration with conditional fields and automated calendar ICS file generation

### Integrations and Data

- Two-way sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo
- Engagement scoring mapped into CRM lead records — who attended which sessions, which sponsor booths they visited, whether they asked questions
- RESTful API for custom registration flows and data extraction

## The Production Services

Virtual PRO is not software-only. Every event comes with access to a production team that functions as an extension of the client's staff:

- **Event Architects** — technical leads who map the user journey, configure the platform, and ensure the experience is built correctly from the start
- **Show Planners** — project managers for the run of show, keeping the event on track from kickoff through post-event wrap
- **Graphic Designers** — custom backgrounds, overlays, transitions, and visual assets that make the event look like the brand it is representing
- **Video Editors** — pre-produced hero videos, speaker intros, and post-event highlight reels
- **Live Crew** — technical directors, audio engineers, and stream monitors active during the broadcast

This is the distinction that matters. Most platforms sell software and leave execution to the client. Virtual PRO sells a result, and the production team is what makes that result reliable.

## Scale

Virtual PRO is built for audiences from 100 to 100,000 and beyond. The architecture supports massive concurrency without performance degradation. Setup timelines typically run four to twelve weeks depending on the complexity of the run of show and the level of customization required.

## Who Buys Virtual PRO

- VP Events
- Director of Events
- Conference Producer
- Head of Marketing Events
- Corporate Event Manager

The buyer cares about the quality of the experience, the reliability of the technology, and their professional reputation. They have run events on platforms that let them down and they are not willing to risk it again.

## What Virtual PRO Is Not

- Not a tool for daily internal meetings, team huddles, or small group video calls
- Not a high-frequency webinar platform — that is Webinar+ at webinarplus.com
- Not a self-service-only tool — the production services layer is part of what Virtual PRO sells
- Not for ticketing or on-site in-person event logistics
- Not a standalone product — it is part of the Brandlive ecosystem, with Greenroom as the shared production engine and Brandlive Studios available for extended creative support
