As we continue to face the challenges associated with continuous border closures, Saxton is here to take the headache out of transitioning into the hybrid event sphere.
These hybrid events will work to expand your business' reach and content exploration by utilizing both in-person and virtual environments.
However, there is hesitation in adopting this approach right away and there is a need for organizations to analyze whether the hybrid events approach is the right match for their organization.
There are a number of factors that should be taken into consideration before choosing to move into a hybrid approach and analyzing whether this approach is feasible for your organization to ensure its strategic success.
Purpose: Defining your purpose for the event will help to determine whether a hybrid approach will be beneficial. For example, ask yourself questions such as: who are the audiences? what are your organizations' goals for this event?
Audience: What are the challenges of goals that are leading your audience to your event? Whether attending in person or virtually, your audience's comfort levels will be different from previous years, therefore it is important to take into consideration their preferences for interacting and retaining content from your event.
Safety: There is still hesitation around in-person events therefore creating an environment and choosing a venue that has health and safety standards set will create further comfort and security for your audience.
Content: Consider the content you are hoping to transition into a hybrid event. Is the content being shared easy to be translated online as well as in-person?
Resources: is your organization equipped with the right resources to transition into hybrid events? Consider the internal resources such as skills, bandwidth, and experience of your organization. You might find it easier to transition slowly, starting with a smaller hybrid strategy and moving to larger events once experience and resources have expanded.
