Tools for Interactive Online Events

What are the best tools for designing interactive online events? As I explained in my last post (Design Considerations in Designing Online Events), you can't just lift and shift a face-to-face event to the digital world and expect interactive experiences to happen. You must deconstruct the face-to-face event and design an interactive online event. This post will dive into various tools for designing interactive online events.
