Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Virtual events have revolutionized the way social causes are promoted, offering a platform for interaction and engagement that transcends geographical and physical barriers. The advent of digital tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and various social media platforms has enabled organizations to host webinars, live-streamed conferences, and online fundraisers, effectively reaching wider audiences at a lower cost (Adamu & Ishaku, 2023). In Yola South Local Government Area, Adamawa State, where access to physical venues and resources may pose limitations, virtual events have provided a viable alternative for promoting social causes, including environmental conservation, health awareness, and education campaigns.
The appeal of virtual events lies in their flexibility and capacity for scalability, enabling organizations to reach participants across diverse demographics. However, their effectiveness hinges on factors such as internet accessibility, digital literacy, and the design of the events themselves. This study evaluates the success of virtual events in promoting social causes in Yola South, exploring their reach, challenges, and potential for fostering meaningful engagement within the local community.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the advantages of virtual events, their adoption in Yola South LGA for promoting social causes faces several challenges. Limited access to stable internet, low digital literacy levels, and cultural preferences for face-to-face interactions may hinder the effectiveness of virtual platforms. Additionally, there is insufficient empirical evidence on the impact of virtual events in driving awareness and action for social causes in this region. This study seeks to address these gaps by assessing the effectiveness of virtual events in Yola South LGA and offering strategies for enhancing their impact in promoting social causes.

1.6 Significance of the Study

For social organizations and event planners in Yola South LGA, the findings provide actionable insights into maximizing the potential of virtual events. Policymakers and digital service providers can leverage the recommendations to address infrastructure and accessibility challenges. Moreover, this research adds to the limited academic literature on the use of virtual platforms in rural and semi-urban areas in Nigeria.
