EPISODE 5
The Future of Events is Hybrid
OVERVIEW
Events are undergoing a paradigm shift amidst the pandemic. We are seeing the rise of hybrid events which are events that take place in a physical venue while also being attended at the same time online by an interactive audience. Hybrid events blend the boundary-breaking potential of digital events with the serendipity of analogue meetings.
In this session, we provide you with an overview of what hybrid events are, the new opportunities waiting to be unravelled and equip you with the resources to get started on this new journey.
