Giving attendees the option to participate online is a smart, flexible approach that works for everything from national all-staff meetings to fundraising galas. At AVENUE, hosting hybrid events is simple thanks to our built-in live streaming studio and expert on-site production team.
Why Hybrid? The Benefits for You and Your Audience
Hybrid events increase accessibility for your guests, resulting in a much larger potential audience compared to an in-person-only event. Cost, time, and location are removed as obstacles to participation. Whether you’re reaching a national sales team, remote donors, or busy educators, hybrid events allow them to engage on their own terms.
Your live stream recording can be shared post-event for added impact—extending engagement beyond the venue and beyond the event date.
Hybrid events also make it easier to track metrics and engagement. You’ll be able to see how many people joined remotely, how long they stayed, and even which segments generated the most interest. That kind of insight can help you refine future events and communications.
What It Takes: Planning a Professional Hybrid Experience
Hybrid event planning requires thinking about both in-person and virtual audiences from the start. Here are a few key areas to consider:
- Content flow: Will everything be streamed, or will there be online-only or in-room-only moments?
- Audience engagement: Will remote attendees be able to ask questions and participate in polls?
- Platform selection: Choose a platform that’s reliable, secure, and suited to your goals—whether it’s your YouTube channel or a custom live stream landing page.
- Run-of-show coordination: Precision timing and clear cues help create a polished experience for both audiences.
The good news? You don’t have to manage it alone.
