HOW THE SWITCH TO HYBRID COULD LEAD TO BETTER BUSINESS CONFERENCES

HOW THE SWITCH TO HYBRID COULD LEAD TO BETTER BUSINESS CONFERENCES

New technologies and tools help create a cohesive experience at hybrid events
and allow in-person and virtual attendees to connect and engage.

By Deborah Lynn Blumberg — January 20, 2022

Just as it seemed like there was a window of opportunity for safe in-person
events, the rapid rise of Omicron slammed it shut. The much-anticipated annual
Consumer Electronics show (CES) saw only 45,000 in-person attendees in Las Vegas
this year, down from it’s usual 170,000+. The World Economic Forum postponed its
annual meeting in Davos to early summer. The Sundance Film Festival, which kicks
off this week, will happen almost entirely virtually, without the annual crush
of film fanatics to Park City. But after two years of pandemic ebbs and flows,
event planners are able to take it in stride, because many events are now hybrid
events from the start. This new style of event — in which some attendees
participate in person and others join online — offers opportunities to rethink
business conventions and the potential to engage new conference-goers.


About 50% of corporate event attendees believe hybrid events are the right
format  — even beyond the pandemic — because they offer the benefits of
in-person attendance with the convenience of virtual participation. 

Hybrid events make it possible for more people to participate, since a plane
ticket and hotel room aren’t required. “It makes an event more accessible, and
it can bring new folks into your community,” says Rachel Heller, senior event
content manager at the Santa Fe-based cloud accounting software firm Sage
Intacct. 


ENSURING REMOTE PARTICIPANTS FEEL INCLUDED

In 2020, Sage Intacct went virtual with Sage Transform, its annual 4,000-person
conference, where accountants come to network and learn new skills. But in 2021,
Sage Transform decided to go hybrid. Some 2,000 people convened in Las Vegas in
early November for the event, while another 2,000 joined online. Heller and her
team used the RainFocus event platform to integrate in-person and virtual
elements, paired with the CLEAR app to verify COVID-19 vaccination status for
in-person attendees. They planned 100 in-person breakout sessions and delivered
livestream and on-demand content to remote attendees, along with branded
notebooks sent in the mail.

Hybrid events aren’t as simple as broadcasting what’s happening in the room. To
foster connections between in-person and virtual attendees, event planners have
been tapping into new technology and tools to create a cohesive experience.

Jenny Burke, chief marketing officer at Shared Assessments in Santa Fe, says
it’s critical to choose a host and concierge who’s available to virtual
attendees via chat throughout an event. During livestream Q&As, the moderator in
the room should coordinate with the virtual moderator to make sure questions are
split evenly between in-person attendees and those joining online.

Virtual moderators should ask questions in the chat to engage participants and
encourage activity — where are attendees logging in from? Who’s a first time
attendee?

Shanee Kraus, manager of HP’s Experience Lab, notes that including far-flung
participants also means accounting for their different time zones. Responsible
for organizing and hosting big events, the Experience Lab even before the
pandemic produced distributed, live events for audiences (including some 50,000
HP employees) by setting up studios for panel discussions and presentations in
several continents, so participants can tune in live during their own business
day. 

“It’s not an American, European, or Asian event,” she says. “It’s a global
event.”


CONNECTING ATTENDEES NEAR AND FAR

Hybrid events aren’t as simple as broadcasting what’s happening in the room. To
give everyone valuable content and foster connections between in-person and
virtual attendees, event planners have been tapping into new technology and
tools to create a cohesive experience.

Don’t think of it as two separate forums, says Kraus. “It’s one event where
you’re connecting everybody.”

Kraus suggests choosing one robust event platform that works for both in-person
and virtual attendees. The best ones have interactive features and opportunities
for networking. She uses Canapii, which offers features that mimic the feeling
of networking and mingling; and Hopin, which has built-in email marketing tools,
a registration feature that gives insight into attendee preferences, and a
networking component where participants can link up for one-on-one video calls.
Pigeonhole is another app that provides Q&As, polls, chat, reactions, and
surveys.

Having a robust platform is important because virtual attendees often want to
participate in sessions live but also access them on demand.

Shared Assessments' Burke is planning a hybrid conference for risk management
experts in April and chose Vario Productions, a virtual planning platform with a
social area where participants can create their own profile as well as an
integrative polling feature. “It’s a nice way for people to interact,” she
says. 

In addition to tuning in for livestreamed event sessions, virtual reality
platforms like EXVO can help remote attendees feel more present, with
opportunities to explore virtual event halls as avatars and socialize in online
lounge spaces. 

“People want to be connected — especially when they’re on the virtual end of an
event,” says Natasha Miller, founder and CEO of San Francisco-based Entire
Productions, who has helped companies set up a video booth in a quiet conference
hall corner where in-person attendees can network with virtual ones.  “Giving
them access to the people and energy of those on site will really amp up their
feeling of engagement and being seen and heard.”


GETTING CREATIVE WITH CONTENT

High-quality content is table stakes for any conference, but especially for a
hybrid one, where attention spans of remote attendees are shorter. Virtual
attendees want to participate in sessions live but also access them on demand.

To up engagement, Heller and the Sage Transform team had around 70 speakers
pre-record 15-minute “lightning talks” made available to attendees on the first
day.

Jean Foster, senior vice president of marketing and communications for the
Consumer Technology Association, which produces CES, says that when the event
went virtual last year, “we threw out our playbook on conferences.” An hour-plus
keynote is just too long to engage a virtual audience, she explains, noting
about 25 minutes is more digestible. She coaches speakers on how to perform for
a virtual audience by alternating between looking at the in-person audience and
the camera.

As more events go hybrid, expect faster-paced, shorter segments that include a
variety of formats, including speeches, interactive talks, and experiential
presentations. Conference organizers are also trying virtual break-out sessions,
one-on-one video chats, and gamifying elements like virtual scavenger hunts.
Recording also makes it easier to repurpose content in blogs and social
channels.

Another benefit is the ability to tap into data to improve events. Planners can
gain insights for future events, such as gauging engagement by examining how
many users dropped out of a particular session and after how many minutes. One
colleague of Heller’s used virtual conference data to discover who the top 10
favorite speakers were at her hybrid event, and then planned to bring those
speakers back over the course of the year for a series of webinars.

With these new opportunities to enhance the event experience, along with the
flexibility and accessibility hybrid events provide, Kraus envisions more and
more organizations embracing the model. 

“It gives us more options,” she says. “Hybrid is here, and it will stay.”
