Hybrid events are more than just streaming an in-person event online. They deliver dynamic, high-quality content, optimized for both in-person and virtual audiences.

Hybrid events are, quite simply, a mix of live and virtual events. To create a hybrid event, you take your live event, complete with an audience, live content, etc., and you add a virtual component inviting your audience to participate and engage with your event, no matter where they are. To learn more, check out our blog post – What is a hybrid event? And why is everyone talking about them?

Hybrid events are a powerful tool to meet your goals and boost your brand. Here’s how it works…

Market the In-Person & Virtual Event with a Branded Registration Site

Promote your hybrid event using a fully customized and branded registration website to:

• Encourage sign-ups with an eye-catching and informative website

• Capture data about your attendees during a user-friendly online registration

• Track registrations in real time on your reporting dashboard.

One Event – Two Experiences

We work with your team to create one event with two experiences – one live and one virtual. The possibilities are endless with a hybrid event. Here are some of the components we see the most:

• Bespoke experiences for in-person and virtual attendees

• Custom questions and session selection for both virtual and in-person audiences

• Broadcast your in-person presentation to your virtual audience

• Host live Q&As with in-person and virtual audiences

• Broadcast remote speakers to your in-person audience

Facilitate In-Person and Online Networking

Networking opportunities are a big draw for many attendees, so it’s important to build this in to your hybrid event design. Some of the most common examples include:

• Matching attendees with common interests using information gathered during registration

• Allowing in-person and virtual attendees to connect through chat, private video conferencing rooms and group breakout sessions

• Creating opportunities for attendee interaction via social media, chat, live polls and Q&As.
