Hybrid Event Options

So, last blog I discussed why Hybrid events are, and I quote, “incredibly valuable if done well”!

What I didn’t do is outline some options for hosting such an event.

I know you’ve been waiting patiently, so let’s get to it.

You live-stream your in-person event. Simple right? Everything occurs on the same day(s), allowing your in-person and virtual attendees to interact real-time on your app or virtual platform.

OK, this is great! What’s the catch?

Well, it’s going to be more expensive. For starters, the venue is going to charge you an arm and a leg for the bandwidth you’ll need to stream high quality video.

Then there’s the additional personnel required to run 2 concurrent events, and the fact that, when it’s all live, anything can happen!

Hmm, how about another option?

Sure. Record all your sessions and hold a separate virtual event at a later date.

The additional cost to record your sessions is minimal relative to live streaming, and gives you some time to review and edit the content.

So you’ve got content. Now what?

Host a scheduled virtual event where you stream your recorded sessions, and, if I were you, bring your speakers back to do a live Q&A following each session.

After the event, create an on-demand archive that your attendees can access whenever they want, extending the life of your event and it’s value to your sponsors!

There are, of course, myriad other combinations but you get the idea.

Which one to choose?
