Virtual Events Are Here To Stay:

Get On The Fastest Path To Impact & Income
Through The Power Of A Live Virtual Event

There’s no denying the power of live virtual events. $827+ million in revenue for our clients over the last three years proves that creating your very own purpose driven payday is easier (and more affordable) than ever.

If you have been sitting on the sidelines, dreaming of the spotlight, waiting to be invited to somebody else’s stage, dreaming of time and money freedom (and your family’s time and money freedom FOREVER)— all while serving your right fit clients at the highest level —

This is it. The wait is over. The moment is now. For you to choose to either get off the sidelines or stay stuck where you are. Which will it be?

It’s never been easier, more affordable, or more approachable to host your very own live event because of virtual events. In fact, we’re calling it the democratization of live events.

Join us at THE Virtual Event on Virtual Events May 11th - 13th, 2023

LIVE EVENTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE
FASTEST PATH TO A PURPOSE DRIVEN PAYDAY…
AND NOW IT’S 10X EASIER

For 16 years, we designed and produced live in person events and helped some of the biggest names in the industry craft high converting, high ticket offers using our proven framework and launch them through the power of a live in person event - generating over $700 million in revenue for our clients.

But in March of 2020, our business collapsed overnight. When the country was put on lockdown, we got phone call after phone call and watched as event after event evaporated off our calendar.

We had to make a decision:
  • Roll over and play dead, furlough (essentially lay off) our team, and hope everything would go back to normal soon.
  • ​Get creative and find a way to keep our team, keep our business and our client’s businesses afloat while serving their audiences at the same time.
We chose to get creative. And in the weeks that followed, created an event format that would not only save our business and our client’s businesses, but completely reinvent an industry.

We produced our first live virtual event less than three weeks after that lockdown. Compared to the same client’s in person event the year prior, we had an audience four times the size that was global for the first time ever. But best of all, generated 20% higher gross revenue - and not only that, had a 50% higher profit margin.

We realized we were onto something, but weren’t sure if it was something we could replicate just yet.

Three weeks later, we had our second live virtual event. The results were even better with a bottom line profit increase of 200% year over year.
The snowball effect continued, and since then, we have leveraged the power of live virtual events and generated $827+ million in revenue for our clients.
That’s right, in the last three years, we’ve generated more money for our clients than in the first 16 years in business.

We knew we couldn’t keep this magic to ourselves, so for the first time ever we started teaching our process. See, there’s a repeatable, time-proven structure that works regardless of country, language, industry, niche or market.

At THE Virtual Event On Virtual Events, we’ll spend three days peeling back the curtain on everything you need to know about hosting your first (or next) successful and profitable live virtual event. We’re going to show you how people just like you are launching 5, 6, 7 and multi-seven figure pay days.

THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF LIVE EVENTS

Pre-pandemic, hosting a live event came with a substantial amount of risk. You had to rent a ballroom, fill a roomblock, meet a food and beverage minimum, rent equipment, pay an A/V team…In other words, it was reserved for the elite, for corporate or for massive risk-takers.

But now, virtual has leveled the playing field and made it easier than ever to get off the sidelines and expand your reach from your very own living room, with nothing more than a laptop, a TV and a zoom account. 

You don’t need a big list, a big budget or a big studio, and it doesn’t matter if your event is for 5, 50, 500 or 5,000 people, this immersive, interactive event is designed to help you strategize, monetize and actualize your own live virtual event.

And if there’s one thing we’ve proven over the last three years, it’s that the time is now to harness the power of a live event and change the direction of your life and your business forever. 

It’s not rocket science - you can do this! - but there are some key things that most people get wrong when it comes to designing a high-converting event. At THE Virtual Event on Virtual Events, we’re going to help you avoid those mistakes and help you create your purpose driven payday faster, simpler and easier.

WHY VIRTUAL IS HERE TO STAY

You may have expected there would be a rush back to in-person events when the pandemic ended. (To be honest, we sort of did too).

But the reality has been much different. Even the biggest in-person events this year only had a fraction of the attendance compared to pre-2020 years. Live virtual events are continuing to outperform live in-person events in both attendance and overall conversions.

It makes sense when you think about it. Flying is a nightmare. Ticket prices are up, lines are long, TSA workers and airline attendants are overworked and underpaid. The hospitality industry has been hit hard, and people are paying more for their accommodations with less than five-star service.

(And that doesn’t even touch on the environmental concerns.)

With virtual live events, attendees get a front row seat from the comfort of their own homes, and they don’t have to shell out thousands of extra dollars to see you live (money they could use to invest in your high ticket offer instead!)

Bottom line, virtual is better for your attendees, and it’s better for you, too.

Less overhead, less risk, less audience dropoff (they can stick with you until the very end because no one is leaving to catch a flight!), more reach, more impact and more net income for your business.

At THE Virtual Event on Virtual Event, we’ll take you step-by-step through the exact same process we use with every single one of our private clients (clients like Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Russell Brunson, Jeff Walker, Pedro Adao, Stu McLaren, Ryan Levesque, Mary Morrissey, Jamie Kern Lima, Gabby Bernstein, Shanda Sumpter, Jack Canfield and more….) so that by the end of our time together, you’ll have your personalized event blueprint to host your first (or next) successful virtual event.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT US

Bari and Blue have changed my life, they've changed our business forever based on what I've personally learned from them, based on what we've learned as a company from them.
Ryan Levesque
My really good friend, Bari and Blue, they have not only changed my life, they've changed the lives of the majority of information marketers that you see out on the internet right now.
Shanda Sumpter
Bari understands how to produce an amazing experience, and Blue understands how to make people feel at home as though they're in the room with you.

Let the Structure Do the Selling For You

What we discovered when we pivoted to live virtual events, is that our hallmark “strategy-first” approach to live in person events still applied.

The place where our time-tested in person event structure met the new live virtual event model created a massive new opportunity, and we’re here to help you seize that opportunity by handing you the exact blueprint we’ve been using to create high-converting events for almost 20 years.

When you get this part right (and we’ll make sure you do!), you can make sales easily without ever feeling icky, salesy, or sleazy.

We’ll show you how to plan out the content for your 3-day live event in a way that has your audience asking to take the next step with you before you even introduce them to your offer. (And yes, you absolutely can fill up the entire three days).

In fact, you’ll see that in action at THE Virtual Event on Virtual Events. Because everything we do is exactly what we teach you to do.

LET’S GET YOU OFF THE SIDELINES

Can we get personal for a minute?

If you are being really honest, what is the number one thing that is holding you back from hosting your event? Or getting your offer out there into the world at all?

Maybe you were overwhelmed.

Maybe you were afraid.

Maybe you were distracted.

Maybe you didn’t know where to start.

Maybe you were wondering if the dream you have to create time and money freedom is a pipe dream. Maybe you had that voice in the back of your head (or a real person in your life) saying you know what, you’re not actually cut out for this.

Here’s one thing we know to be true, you were made for more. 

The vision you have to create an amazing, thriving business. To have a life that you love. To work with clients that you love. To have a generational impact on your family and on the people you serve.

It’s 100% possible.

So if you feel stuck right now, it comes down to one of two things: lack of belief or lack of a fail-proof blueprint.

Guess what? We’re going to solve both of those problems at THE Virtual Event on Virtual Events.

You’ll see exactly how a young divorcee from the wrong side of the tracks made a decision to change her life and launched a multi-billion dollar business from her guest bedroom.

You’ll see how literally hundreds of other entrepreneurs just like you have followed the exact formula we teach at THE Virtual Event on Virtual Events to create their own purpose driven paydays (and how it’s possible for you, too).

If you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, do the work, and apply what we teach, you’ll walk away with a crystal clear blueprint for your offer, your messaging, your event content and your tech.

Basically, we’ll make it next to impossible for you to NOT launch your very own live virtual event.

What THE Virtual Event On Virtual Event Is…And What It Will Do For You

This is a virtual live event that you can attend from anywhere in the world! And we promise, it won’t be just another zoom meeting. You’ll get a personal one-on-one check in experience to make sure you’re all set, access to an event dashboard with everything you’ll need during the event, plus bonus sessions and interactive breakouts throughout the event so you can put your thoughts into action.

Then we’re going to break down the exact STRUCTURE to use to STRATEGIZE, MONETIZE and ACTUALIZE your live event……...

On DAY 1, we’re going to walk you through how to take YOUR irresistible offer and turn it into content and how to take that content and turn it into messaging. I am going to share the single biggest strategy all the big guns are using that is a game changer for high converting offers.

I’m going to walk you through how to overcome tech challenges. (We know you’re worried about the tech. We promise you it’s easier than you think!)

Then on DAY 2, we’ll show you how to fill your live event seamlessly and effortlessly with your right fit client…because you don’t want just anyone at your event, you want your virtual audience filled with your dream clients! The ones most likely to want to buy your offer.

On DAY 3, we show you exactly how to structure your content and your speakers into a cohesive, high-converting event — an event that has people coming to you saying “this event is amazing, I want MORE!!!!” When you get this part right, the structure makes the selling easy!

BUT, we know there is some fear around how to overcome objections to your high ticket offer. So, we’ll also share a simple, proven framework for overcoming objections – without feeling icky, salesy or sleazy.

Then we’re going to wrap up the event with a simple 8 week event timeline (that’s right!!! how to host your first, or next, event in just 8 weeks!). How to take all these parts and put them into a plan of action, so you’re not just THINKING about a live event, you’re actually DOING a live event. 

So let me ask you — would you like to learn how to sell for 3 days so you can serve for 362? If you had to choose between dialing for dollars every single day, or learning the three-day event model where the structure does the selling for you – which would YOU choose?

HERE’S WHY IT MATTERS

The last few years have been interesting to say the least…

When our lives changed in March of 2020, we know that yours did too.

We know you’ve been dealing with uncertainty and fear about what your future and your family’s future looks like.

But what we’ve learned is that not only can you survive in this time when others are dealing with economic uncertainty, you can THRIVE. You can have security, but the only way to do it is to create it yourself.

There’s never a time when your right-fit client isn’t out there struggling with a problem. And it’s the exact problem you solve! In fact, they need you now more than ever.

And we know that the fastest way to reach them and create impact and income for you is through the power of a virtual live event.

So together at THE Virtual Event on Virtual Events, we’re going to give you the blueprint to get you hosting your first (or next) successful event.

WHAT OTHER ATTENDEES ARE SAYING…

I attended the training last year and it lit a fire under me to try out virtual events. I decided to pivot from having to cancel most of my 3-day live events and retreats for 2020 to hosting my very first 3-day virtual event in June 2020. Since then, I've hosted 3 virtual 3-day events, served 150 attendees and generated $640,000 in sales.
Rosetta Thurman
Ok I’m doing it!!! I took a million notes at TVE made my offer today for my virtual event during my 3-day free challenge. Now to promote the heck out of it the next few weeks! I have a small audience but high conversion rates and this will be my third time offering my high ticket offer!!
Holly Southerland
Using the Bari and Blue pivot.. my mini ZoomZilla raised $60,000 in 20 minutes for Alzheimer respite care. 30 years of professional fundraising and only 10 years as an auctioneer, you guys opened the doors to new prosperity. Eternally grateful.
DeeDee Truesdal Kiesow
Once in a lifetime event! I tell everybody who's striving to do virtual events about our experience with Blue and Bari, but I just can't do it justice when describing the experience.
George R. Williams Jr.
Whoa! I did a 3 day 2 hour per day challenge per Blue and Bari and sold a $3,000 (or 12 x $297) program to 12 people right off the bat! The 3-day event is scheduled for 2 weeks from now and I plan to fill the rest of my seats in my charter membership. Whoot.
Julia Stege
An amazing event and Bari and Blue made history with this event.
Galyn Fergeson 
I appreciate Bari and Blue and the Sage team. I attended TVE4 and did my first 3-day event. Then I attended most of TVE5 and did my second 3-Day event on 15-17 of December! I dove in with all that I learned…and because of Bari Baumgardner and Blue Melnick, I can now share with others and "Serve Hard to sell soft!" Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Carla Jones
That was such a great event full of great memories! Thank you for the inspiration and the model of how to do this with excellence.
Anne Stark Hummeldorf
Loving the content, the vibe, the heart, and all you guys do in the world, appreciate you!
Scott Brandon Hoffman
Bari and Blue pretty much invented the success strategies used by the top internet gurus. And to have them let us peek behind the curtain is a HUGE privilege. They have validated so many ideas I've been using and shown me how to build the life of my dreams taking my biz to a higher level with virtual and live events.
Sandra Angelo
I’ve been training with Bari & Blue since Nov 2022…life and business changing!

  • Laser focused on ONLY the activities that move your business forward
  • Selling hard for three days so you can do what you do best for 362

MEET YOUR EVENT HOSTS...

Bari Baumgardner

Bari started SAGE Event Management, Inc. sixteen years ago in a guest bedroom turned home office. She quickly became known for her “strategy first” approach to designing high impact, high converting events.

From working with Glazer Kennedy Insider’s Circle to some of the biggest names in the speaker, author and influencer industry — Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Pedro Adeo, Mary Morrissey, Pete Vargas, Lisa Sasevich, Jeff Walker, Amy Porterfield, Stu McLaren and others — she quickly became the go-to resource for her “sales is service” mindset.

The key to her success is reverse engineering high ticket offers and programs to create purpose driven pay days, without being sales-y, while letting the proven structure do the selling for you.

Her selling from the stage strategies have helped her clients double, triple, even quadruple their attendance, create raving fan audiences, and generating 7 (or multi-seven) figure purpose driven pay days.

Blue Melnick

Blue joined Bari at SAGE in 2008. With more than 8 years experience running his family’s sales and marketing company, he was the perfect complement to Bari’s sales is service approach — and he added valued expertise in audio visual and technology.

When the pandemic forced a pivot in March 2020, it was Blue who quickly launched a tech platform to harness the power of Zoom to create immersive, interactive virtual live events that work for 5, 50, 500, or 50,000+.

As the creator of Obvio, the key to his success is approaching every virtual event from the perspective of the Host first, audience second — designing events that are not “just another Zoom meeting’. The key is integrating tech strategy and enrollment strategy. High tech and high touch.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM BARI:

I truly believe live events are the single greatest platform for getting your message out there and affecting real change. For positioning, for authority, for building brands and empires, for transformation. For purpose-driven pay days. Impact, before income (made easy, with a simple sales is service approach).

Over the last nineteen years, we have generated over $1 billion for our clients through the power of live events. That’s a lot of pay day! But, beyond those pay days is even more people served: HUNDREDS of thousands of attendees (that we can track), and quite literally HUNDREDS of millions of viewer minutes!

That’s what we mean by a purpose driven pay day – everyone wins, and more people take your ideas out of our virtual ballrooms and out into the world to effect change for them, their families and the people they were meant to serve. The ripple effect is real.

That’s your purpose — to serve your people, to get your tribe out there putting ideas into action. And for those that need extra hand-holding, or a faster path — there’s you!

With a solution and an invitation, designed exclusively for them, to get them there faster and easier. With accountability, community and enhanced opportunities that you created expressly for them, knowing what you know, doing what you do.

Yay, you! The world needs you!

DON’T LET A DAY BECOME A DECADE

Listen, we know that now more than ever your resources (time and money) are more precious than ever.

You might be wondering if this is actually going to move your business forward. Or if it’s going to be another event that teaches you another strategy you feel excited about for a couple weeks, and then never think about again.

You could let this opportunity pass you by. You could skip out on learning the shortcuts we’ve learned after nearly two decades producing high-converting live events.

You could wake up 10 years from now and wonder if this would have been the thing that changed your life.

Or you could say yes to yourself, invest your time, invest the $97 to claim your seat, and roll up your sleeves and create a brand new life for yourself.

This isn’t a “get rich quick” scheme. We aren’t going to give you a magic wand that does the work for you.

But we are going to hand you everything you need to know to transform your business and your life through the power of a virtual live event.
