Hybrid events: by taking into account the different needs and expectations of physically present and virtual participants, you improve the impact of your hybrid event.

The hack: set up separate programmes for both the physically present and virtual participants of your event

When organising a hybrid event, it is essential to set up two programmes: one for participants who are physically present and one for remote participants. People who participate virtually often have a completely different experience of the event than participants in the room and therefore have different needs in terms of interaction. Therefore, make sure your programme pays attention to engaging both groups. Think of interactive Q&A sessions via live chats, virtual networking opportunities and special breakout sessions for online participants. By tailoring the programme to the needs of both audiences, you create an inclusive and engaging experience for all.
