From industry-leading speakers to highly beneficial networking events, attendees leave conferences with increased knowledge and valuable new connections. Unfortunately, due to the physical proximity of conference centers, the reach of in-person events is inherently limited.<\/p>\n<p>Through hybrid events, the reach of conference centers becomes limitless. Networking, speakers, presentations \u2014 all become accessible worldwide with hybrid events. With expanded reach, a conference overcomes geographic limitations and expands brand power, potentially leading to more diverse in-person conference attendance down the line.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"expanded-engagement\">Expanded Engagement<\/h3>\n<p>Alongside broader world reach comes expanded event engagement at large. Modern IoT technology allows organizers to give <a href=\"https:\/\/coxhn.com\/blog\/2023\/02\/09\/convention-center-industry-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real-time event updates<\/a> on dazzling event screens. For hybrid conferences, these screens can even further connect in-person and online attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers can send out real-time surveys about industry topics to all hybrid event attendees for a comprehensive, diverse data-set. Screens can also show highlights from both online and in-person sides of the conference, and allow for communication &amp; calls between attendees hundreds of miles away.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"greater-anticipation\">Greater Event Anticipation<\/h3>\n<p>With hybrid events, organizers can greatly increase engagement &amp; anticipation during pre-event roll-outs. Online sign-ups for hybrid conferences are sharable and low risk for attendees, spurring greater attendance numbers to further promote high sign-ups conference marketing. Additionally, with an inherently online component, attendees may feel more inclined to interact with virtual posts and promotions at large.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"follow-up\">Easier Attendee Follow-Up<\/h3>\n<p>Conference attendee follow-up is key to improving future events; surveys can give organizers valuable feedback on speakers, event organization, and overall event experience. Due to the frequent need for travel during in-person conferences, however, it can be difficult to track down guests for feedback post-conference.<\/p>\n<p>Hybrid conferences offer extensive new ways to reach attendees post conference \u2014 for those that attended both in-person and virtually. Organizers can reach virtual attendees as soon as a conference finishes by giving immediate survey CTAs through hybrid conference platforms. Meanwhile, organizers can entice in-person attendees by offering free access to filmed and online conference content as soon as they fill out a survey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/coxhn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/best-practices-hosting-hybrid-events.png\" alt=\"best practices for hosting hybrid events\" width=\"840\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coxhn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/best-practices-hosting-hybrid-events.png 840w, https:\/\/coxhn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/best-practices-hosting-hybrid-events-480x223.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 840px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-hybrid-events-work\">How do Hybrid Events Work? Best Practices for Hosting<\/h2>\n<p>Hybrid events work by combining engaging in-person events with IoT technology specifically designed for hybrid events. When hosting a hybrid event, it\u2019s essential to skillfully leverage this technology in order to satisfy all conference attendees. Some of the most important pieces of technology for hybrid events include hybrid conference platforms, webcasting equipment, and reliable internet access.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hybrid-conference-platforms\">Dedicated Hybrid Conference Platforms<\/h3>\n<p>To successfully launch a hybrid event, organizers need to ensure intuitive event access to all attendees, regardless of how they\u2019re attending. The best way to do this is through a dedicated hybrid conference platform.<\/p>\n<p>Hybrid conference platforms offer a holistic means to integrate all attendees into one unified event population. These platforms include intuitive chat sections for interaction during presentations, online event registration, personalized agendas, engagement features such as polls &amp; word clouds, and more. To streamline your hybrid event, leveraging a platform is key.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"webcasting-integration\">High-Quality Webcasting Integration<\/h3>\n<p>Most hybrid platforms will offer a means to stream, or \u201cwebcast\u201d conference presentations and speakers. In order to provide a high-quality stream, however, conference centers need appropriate, high-quality video &amp; audio equipment.<\/p>\n<p>These may include cameras that can stream in 4K (4,000 x 2,000 resolution), lavalier microphones directly pinned to speaker clothing, or even iPhone cameras depending on an event\u2019s needs &amp; budget.
