Kajabi Virtual Summits Overview

Kajabi is not just a run-of-the-mill platform; it's a comprehensive all-in-one business solution designed to simplify the process of operating online and by extension... hosting virtual events.

For most of my events, I've used a summit hosting platform called HeySummit that I can't say enough good things about! It takes a lot of the leg work out of things like creating stand-alone pages and a full website, but I've recently found that using Kajabi is just as good! 

Here's why-

I love the freedom to create your funnel the way you see fit!

From setting up a visually stunning summit registration page to creating specific offers that lead users through unique journeys - I love the ability to really create an end-to-end experience inside the same place where your actual business is run!

The analytics in Kajabi are great! 

Kajabi streamlines the entire virtual summit event management process. It provides a seamless ecosystem where you can effortlessly handle registration, deliver value-packed sessions, and build a thriving community.

How To Host A Virtual Summit On Kajabi

Now that we've talked about why Kajabi is a great platform to host a virtual summit on, it's time to talk through some of the general setup on how you'll want to get this going. And as with every project you take on, you'll have some upfront planning that needs to happen.

This will include: 

• defining your theme,
• selecting topics and speakers,
• defining your target audience,
• choosing how many days your event will run,
• deciding which virtual summit session will be recorded and which will be live,
• and setting your goals. 

While not an exhaustive list of the steps you'll need to execute a full virtual summit on Kajabi, this is a high-level look at the key pieces you'll need in place for your event.

1. Create a Landing Page For Summit Registration: Begin by creating a dedicated landing page for your virtual summit. Use Kajabi's page builder to design an attractive and compelling landing page that highlights the value and benefits of attending the summit. Include an enticing headline, engaging copy, and a clear call-to-action (CTA) for visitors to register. Grab our FREE Kajabi Virtual Summit Registration Page Template for a HUGE headstart!

2. Set Up A Registration Opt-in Form: Within the landing page, add an opt-in form using Kajabi's form builder. Collect essential attendee information such as name and email address. Keep it simple to avoid putting hurdles in front of people who want to register fast!

3. Build a Sales Page For Your All Access Pass: If you are offering an All Access Pass for extended access to your virtual summit, create a sales page using Kajabi's page builder that showcases the benefits attendees will get from upgrading their tickets. Highlight the additional benefits and value attendees will receive with the upgraded package. Include pricing details, payment options, and a clear CTA to encourage sales.

4. Create a Thank You Page: After people buy your all-access pass, direct them to a Thank You page that explains their benefits, next steps, and details about the event. Customize this page with a confirmation message and any additional instructions or details they need to know.

5. Set Up A Welcome Sequence Automation: Use Kajabi's email automation feature to create a series of emails that will be sent to your attendees after they register. Set up a welcome email to thank them for registering and provide any necessary details about the summit. And create follow-up emails to share updates, reminders, and exclusive content before and during the summit.

6. Set Up A Product For Your All-Access Pass: Create an online course on Kajabi and call it your all-access pass. This is where participants can access the summit content for an extended period of time if they've upgraded their ticket. This will serve as the central hub for hosting and organizing your virtual summit as well as where buyers of your All-Access Pass will continue to engage with summit content after the live event run.

7. Set Up An Event Schedule: Create a schedule or agenda page for your virtual summit. You can then organize sessions by date, time, and topic to ensure your attendees can easily navigate and access each session.
8. Create Daily Video Pages: These pages are open to all attendees and will be where you host your daily collection of videos. Usually, we offer 24 hours of free access to these pages before they expire and an all-access pass is needed. 
9. Deliver Additional Summit Resources: Enhance your virtual summit attendee experience by providing additional resources to participants. This could include downloadable materials, worksheets, or audio-only content. Upload these resources to your Kajabi product for easy access.
