"How to Hybrid" by Encore
Speakers: Debra Mategrano, Regional Sales Director
John Rissi, SVP, Customer & Industry Relations
Encore Global
As our industry moved from live events to virtual events during 2020, meeting professionals started to become familiar with how to produce an effective virtual event. Although not ideal, there has been a reluctant acceptance of virtual events. However, hybrid events are still a bit of a mystery to a lot of meeting professionals and they are seen as complex and costly.
This presentation will focus on the six key drivers that every meeting professional needs to know about planning, producing and executing a successful hybrid event.
Learner Outcomes:
Define a hybrid event and the benefits
Understand the key drivers behind hybrid event success
Understand how to apply the key drivers to common meeting types
