hybrid events reimagined

By allowing delegates to join in person or online, hybrid conferences offer the best of both worlds. The hybrid format expands your range and widens your reach, allowing you to bring people together without putting undue pressure on their schedule, their budget or the environment.

Technology is key to this, of course, and that’s where our expertise in platforms, livestreaming and audiovisual systems comes into its own. We’ll work with you to ensure that the virtual and physical experiences blend together seamlessly, so that all participants feel that they’re right there in the room – whether that’s in the main plenary discussions or the smaller breakout sessions.

creativity & expertise

We can also diversify your delegates’ day by drawing on our expertise in team-building and entertainment, giving your guests the opportunity to network and enjoy each other’s company whether they’re face to face or continents apart.

And we’ll synchronise the delivery of snack packs, swag bags and post-session refreshments so that everyone can unwind in the same way at the same time.

Client Kudos

Everyone had a really good time and loved all the different levels and variety that Level-Up brought. Maximillion always provide an excellent event and guide you through the organising process with clarity, confidence and advice.

Davidson Chalmers Stewart

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

I could not be happier with how the event was organised in the months preceding the event and how it was managed on the days. Sarah and her team were both efficient and delightful to work with. I also had positive feedback from my co-host colleagues and a large number of delegates. I am in fact already in dealings with Maximillion again, in preparation of a new international meeting. I highly recommend Maximillion and Sarah Esslemont for leading and organising meeting.

Ross and the team at Maximillion were an absolute pleasure to work with and played a HUGE part in the success of the Phoenix Leadership UnConference 2023! From the very beginning Maximillion embraced the relaxed feel of this year’s conference and helped bring our vision to life! From a bespoke centre stage to Lego figurines, beanbag seating to branded sticky notes – everything was planned and executed to the highest of standards and myself and the wider team could not be happier! Maximillion have delivered many events for Phoenix Group, they are an extended part of the team and we honestly couldn’t deliver the events like we do without them!

Phoenix Group

Our guests were delighted with the day of Highland Games, the team of maximilion was fantastic. I will recommend them 100%.

Horizons – TPG Scotland

Sarah and her team at Maximillion are professional in every way. The quality of events we have run over the last 3 years has been of the highest quality across a mixture of online and larger face-to-face events. You not only get a ‘can do’ attitude but also adaptability as circumstances change and ideas that improve what you are offering your delegates.

BSGAR

Your team on the night for installation were on time, super efficient and gave clear guidance on usage of the games and when I called to say we’d finished early – returned quickly and dismantled with the same efficiency.

Natwest

Maximillion ran the Urban Adventure for our teams with the activity run in Edinburgh city centre and the feedback has been nothing but positive. The activity brought teams together from different offices and different business areas and was a great way for everyone to get to know each other in a fun and informal activity.

Nucleus Financial

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lake District. Jenny & Rhys are extremely easy to work with and made both our Wednesday evening boat cruise and Thursday team building events, evening meal and band fun and enjoyable for all who attended. We would definitely use them again.Thank you Maximillion.

What is a hybrid conference?

A hybrid conference is a type of event that combines in-person and virtual components. Participants can choose to attend either in person at a physical location or remotely via a virtual platform.

How does a hybrid conference work?

A hybrid conference typically involves:

  • In-person sessions: Attendees gather at a physical venue for workshops, keynote speeches, or networking events.
  • Virtual components: Remote participants can join the conference through a virtual platform, allowing them to watch live streams, participate in online discussions, and network with other attendees.
  • Interactive elements: Hybrid conferences often incorporate interactive features like live Q&A sessions, polls, and breakout rooms to engage both in-person and virtual attendees.

To make a hybrid conference successful, you’ll need to incorporate AV elements. Check out our Conference Production page for more informaton on conference AV, or talk to our team today to discuss options!

How do you host a hybrid conference?

Hosting a hybrid conference requires careful planning and execution. Here are some key steps:

  • Choose a suitable venue: Select a physical location that can accommodate both in-person attendees and the necessary technology for virtual participation.
  • Select a virtual platform: Choose a reliable platform that offers features like live streaming, video conferencing, and chat functionality.
  • Develop a hybrid agenda: Create a schedule that balances in-person and virtual events, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants.
  • Promote the conference: Reach out to potential attendees through various channels, including social media, email marketing, and industry publications.
  • Provide technical support: Ensure that there is adequate technical support available for both in-person and virtual
  • participants.Evaluate the conference: Gather feedback from attendees to improve future hybrid events.
