The study sought to evaluate the effect of virtual conference on the performance of tertiary institutions in Enugu State.

Descriptive survey design was employed for the investigation, 1992 academic staff of four higher institutions in Enugu state was engaged in the study. However, using Taro Yamane statistical formula, the population was reduced to a manageable research size of 333. Questionnaire instrument was used to solicit data for the study. The data were analysed to generate results using z-test analysis technique. The findings showed that virtual conference and its studied components positively affected employee performance in tertiary institutions in Enugu state.
