LET'S FACE REALITY...ALL EVENTS GOING FORWARD WILL BE HYBRID

ALL EVENTS GOING FORWARD WILL BE HYBRID

ATTENDEES WANT OPTIONS

But it's not just health and safety concerns that's driving the shift. Attendees want more options.

A client shared with us recently that 50% of their attendees across multiple meetings responded to a poll saying in-person is better but wanted a choice between attending meetings in-person or virtually.

EXECUTIVES APPRECIATE THE VALUE

And with a year's worth data, executives are understanding the value of hybrid events.

The CEO of a Fortune 500 food company said recently, "Look we understand the value of bringing people together. But the reality is, virtual events have given our workforce more visibility to the ELT (Executive Leadership Team) than it's ever had."

THE EVENT INDUSTRY HAS GOTTEN GREAT AT HYBRID

At the beginning of the pandemic when events went all-virtual, 'Zoom Fatigue' was real.

But the Event Industry adapted, as it always does, and started producing highly engaging virtual experiences that drove business results – Sales Training, Investor Conferences, Technology Summits, Brand Launches, Product Demos…all kinds of events, produced like broadcast television shows.

As Lital Marom from Forbes says, "As the world reopens post-Covid-19, live events are sure to surge back to life, but the headway made with digital events will continue to have a lasting effect."

Karen Chupka, Executive Vice President of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) would appear to agree.

Quoted in a recent Fast Company article, Chupka says, "Going forward, I believe events will become a hybrid. We’re just at the infancy stages of figuring out how the two come together.”
