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.

Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.

We thought the event was organised and ran extremely well. All of our staff had a fantastic time, great fun! Would recommend Maximillion.

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.

Resolis

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.

Hybrid Conference FAOs

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.
