Defining Types of Hybrid Events

The article A Modern Approach to Understanding Hybrid Events from Corporate Event News provides valuable definitions for planners. Consider which of the following formats may be the best for your audience and organizational capacity. 

Light Hybrid

Provide a basic A/V set-up to live stream on a popular platform like YouTube or Facebook. Solicit questions for Q&A via social media platforms. 

Sequential Hybrid

Host a virtual event following the live event. Utilize recorded content from the live event. Offer sponsorship, exhibiting, and connection opportunities. 

Complex Hybrid

Simultaneous physical and hybrid events with multiple cross-networking touchpoints between in-person and online attendees. A virtual event platform and mobile event app are essential to create a shared experience.
