Why choose Virtual Approval for your event?
At Virtual Approval, we focus on 5 values to ensure your event is a standout from the rest:
Creativity
Bringing exciting and innovative ideas to wow your audience.
We consider every element of your event with your ‘why’ at the forefront. This ensures that the event reflects your brand, and showcases your purpose with exceptional design and creative flair.
Reliability
Building a smooth event that reflects well on your brand, showing reliability and building trust.
All of our technology has been thoroughly researched and tested to ensure all is working come the day of your event. Our expert team are all trained and up to date with all of our tools, ensuring everything goes according to plan – and in the case plans change, they know exactly what to fall back on too.
Accessibility
Getting the right people in front of your event, whether that be in-person, across the globe, or a bit of both
We know first-hand how impactful an accessible event can be. Subtitles, sign language, and audio descriptions all play a big part in creating a diverse and inclusive experience, and we always strive to showcase your message to as many people as possible.
Engagement
Keeping the audience engaged through an epic experience.
Nobody wants to attend a boring event – and we don’t want to produce one. From speaker selection to venue sourcing, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to producing your event, leaving a lasting impression on your audience and keeping them engaged throughout.
Interactivity
Using the latest tools and software to bring your event to life.
We love getting to grips with your event and learning your industry, giving us the opportunity to expand our own skills whilst providing an immersive experience for you and your audience.
Hosting an event is a powerful way for brands to connect with their audience
The benefits are vast—events can enhance brand visibility, foster customer loyalty, and create unforgettable experiences. Whether launching a product, hosting a conference, or celebrating milestones, a well-executed event can leave a lasting impression on all attendees.
However, getting your event right is crucial
An event that is carefully planned and flawlessly executed can elevate your brand, while a poorly managed one risks damaging your reputation. We understand the stakes, and we’re here to ensure that every detail is perfect, delivering an event that not only meets your objectives but also exceeds your expectations.

"Rachel and her amazing team assisted us in facilitating a business networking dinner and they were truly exceptional. I would not hesitate in recommending Rachel and her colleagues. In the run up to the event nothing was too much trouble, and they shared great ideas and suggestions based on their successes from previous event experiences. On the night, they were super organised, cool, calm, collected. The feedback we had from guests was first class. For all of our upcoming event needs, Rachel and her team will be my first port of call."

"Saved our home and lives. 1st online High Court case (technology and construction) managed in a very professional manner without a glitch. if it was not for Rachel's input and management, the courts would not have been confident of the platform and our family would have been bullied and forced into bankruptcy by the council. Can't recommend the company highly enough. Thanks Rachel"

"Virtual Approval has made coordinating our virtual sessions a breeze! I have worked with their team on the operations/logistics side, when we needed a broader team to support our virtual offerings. Virtual Approval came in with a fully drawn-out process, they assigned multiple producers with time zone coverage across the world, helped us set up trainings with our facilitators, and then trained new team members on their own without our help once they knew the ropes. They are transparent and reasonable with their rates, and are so easy to work with!"

"The Annual Meeting is the BSH’s flagship hybrid event of the year, with over 700 delegates in person and more than 300 online. The event brings together medical professionals, patients and exhibitors all with an interest in Heart Failure, across the two days there are a range of sessions including plenary sessions, masterclasses and sponsored symposia. This year’s event was a huge success, and this would not have been possible without VA’s valuable contributions. Virtual Approval exceeded our expectations in the run up to our event and on the day, they listened to all our bespoke requests, and they made every effort to accommodate everything we asked for. They were organised, prepared, and reassuring throughout the process and were pivotal to making our most important event of the year a success. The Chair of BSH said “The VA team were calm, professional, unobtrusive and extremely efficient. This was my best experience with an events company to date and I have no hesitation in recommending the VA team to others."
