Virtual & Hybrid Events
Need your event to be virtual or hybrid? We're ready for you.
Our technology services team has enlisted the best local vendors to help you with any virtual or hybrid needs. We will work with you to select a vendor that matches your needs, so you don't have to.
What are Virtual & Hybrid Events?
Virtual Events = Attendees are 100% online
Hybrid Events = Attendees are part online, part in-person
As many of us have experienced, 2020 was the big boom for virtual and hybrid events. Pushing the envelope on both ingenuity and technology alike, these platforms opened the door to the future of meetings and events. As we continue to bring back events safely, many meeting planners have adopted these platforms into their event strategies. And, as we look toward the future, hybrid events will continue to provide additional opportunities for planners to include a larger audience and increase attendee rates.
Getting Started
Although virtual events include 100% online attendance, the space to host these events doesn't have to be virtual as well. This is where setting your stage can really show off your creativity and move you beyond a digital backdrop.
Hybrid events not only provide the required space to align with health and safety regulations but also allows you to extend your audience to those who may not be able to make it in person.
But it can be challenging to know where to start. That's where we come in.
Once you and your sales rep have outlined your event we will connect you with one of our certified Digital Event Strategists (DES) who will work with you to bring your vision to life.
