This post will be addressing Event Directors and Event Managers, introducing them to<\/span> an innovative thought process in regards to hybrid events<\/span><\/a> rather than drilling further down the mainstream checklist of requirements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Our focus is on relationship building and taking ownership of the next phase of the hybrid format evolution. The event industry is still skittering at the in-person events vs virtual events vs hybrid events phase. This is your chance to step up and shape the future.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Planning an Impactful Event in 2021<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hybrid events may be new but they are the best alternative to in-person events at the present. This format was born in the pandemic as the industry\u2019s means to adapt. And therefore it was a learning curve. This led to everyone following the same, collectively put together a handbook of how-to deliver and host a hybrid event.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when everyone does the same thing, can you really be impactful? It is clear at this point that the hybrid event craze will stretch long past the era of the pandemic. Therefore it\u2019s clear the format will evolve and new approaches will be developed. Now is the best time to take the lead and deliver an impact by being an innovator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Put the Attendee First<\/b><\/h3>\n

Remember: the hybrid event format is evolving – it\u2019s not turning into something completely new. Therefore the fundamentals of the attendees’ experience being the key are not going to be dismissed. Instead, the quality of the delivery, the purpose of the conversations and the value offered will all need to be upgraded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that bridging the gap <\/span>between two audiences has been mastered<\/span><\/a>, your priorities should turn towards delighting them both to the fullest through juggling both virtual components and real-time experience. Treat early months of hybrid events as laying down the house foundation: now is the time to build. Ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n
