A successful hybrid event is about the balance between in-person event and online event. All participants should be able to share the same event spirit. Content should be accessible to both groups of participants in one way or another, and communication among all participants must also be ensured. A tried-and-tested platform for hybrid events provides a seamless link between the two parts. Participants can be managed centrally; agendas can be planned and success can be measured. It is particularly important to have a reliable streaming solution and good speakers who are comfortable in front of a camera. For global events, you also need to make sure you are smart about dealing with different time zones. An attendee from Boston is not likely to attend a keynote that takes place at 9 am in Frankfurt. In these cases, make content available on demand or schedule key presentations live multiple times. Again, the right platform will help you to stay on top of things.
