Hybrid Events

What is a hybrid event?

A hybrid event is the best of both worlds – a live event for onsite attendees, and a virtual event for remote attendees. However, it is more than simply placing a camera at the back of a conference or meeting room – it requires great planning to ensure both attendee types have a common experience.  This includes features such as networking between attendees, content sharing, agenda management, speaker management, Q&A and polling engagement, etc. With some attendees in the room, and some remote, careful consideration is required to ensure all attendees can get the most out of the event and feel like active participants.

Hybrid Event Platforms

 As with virtual event platforms, there is a plethora of ‘new’ hybrid event platforms on the market. Some of these only focus on the virtual event aspect, whilst some are ‘traditional’ #EventTech systems that now combine their delegate management strengths with a virtual delivery feature.  Which platform is best for your requirements depends on a number of factors… but let HybridEventSolutions.com carry out the legwork for you. Simply submit your event requirements and we can help you find the platform that best suits your needs.
