A hybrid event is a live, in-person event with a virtual component. This is an integrated solution that combines elements of a live event with a virtual audience.
Whether you have experience or not, we will simplify hosting hybrid events while giving you the flexible framework and guidance required to create an engaging event experience. Maximize collaboration and get the most out of your meetings or events by harnessing the impact and energy of a live meeting to drive virtual engagement. By partnering with our team, we’ll guide you through every step of the way.
Here are some examples of hybrid events:

  • Workshops & demos
  • Conferences & seminars
  • Demos
  • Meetings
  • Tradeshows & exhibitions
  • Corporate Training

THE ADVANTAGES OF HYBRID EVENTS

Maximize Budget

Host a broader audience without requiring a large venue space and save on the costs of food & beverage.

Reach a Larger Audience

Host attendees who otherwise could not attend due to travel, scheduling or capacity restrictions can tune in virtually.

Elevate Virtual Events

Including live content, professional lighting, and production will give your virtual event the credibility it needs. Maintain the energy of a live event by having speakers present together in person.

Peace of Mind

Get access to state-of-the-art equipment, an in-house AV expert, reliable back ups and fast/secure wifi.

Optimize Content

Incorporate a combination of live and pre-recorded content

Include Branding

Logos, colours, and other brand assets can be incorporated into production. Increase sponsor visibility with banner ads and sponsor profiles.
