What is a Hybrid Event?
A hybrid event is simply one that combines both an in-person and virtual experience. It is successful when both in-person and virtual attendees can experience the event together, participate equally and are offered the same engaging content.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hybrid Events
What is a hybrid event?
A hybrid event is one that incorporates a live in-person event with a virtual online element. Typically, a hybrid event will include in-person presenters and in-person attendees, as well as a live-streamed webcast.
What kinds of events can I host using a hybrid event model?
Hybrid events are suited to most enterprise events such as townhalls, product launches, marketing events, tradeshows, conferences, investor relations, exhibitions and fairs.
What are the benefits of hosting a hybrid event?
The benefits of hosting a hybrid event include:
- The ability to offer webcast content on-demand after the event
- A means of tracking online attendance and capture leads
- Cost and time savings for attendees who can’t travel
- Convenience and reduced costs for event hosts
- The ability to reach a larger audience
Can hybrid events be recorded and viewed later?
Yes, hosts can record the live event and share a link with people who could not attend, allowing to watch the recording later when it suits them to do so. Technology, such as GlobalMeet, allows hosts to create content that attendees can consume later, on their schedules. As a result, organizers are no longer bound to schedule events for a single date and time.
Is a hybrid event a good alternative to a fully in-person event?
Yes. Now that businesses have become used to working remotely, leveraging hybrid event management software opens up exciting possibilities to connect with an even bigger audience, enabling some of your audience to attend in-person and others to attend remotely. Hybrid event technology enables organizations to reach employees and customers who cannot or will not travel, enabling them to attend the event virtually from where it suits them to do so.
Can GlobalMeet facilitate interactive sessions during hybrid events?
Yes, GlobalMeet’s comprehensive hybrid event management software seamlessly integrates features like Q&A, polls, and links to breakout sessions, enabling virtual participants to actively engage with speakers and content during hybrid events.
Can presenters interact with their audience at a hybrid event?
Absolutely! Virtual events are so much more than presenters speaking to a camera without any engagement between presenters and attendees. Breakout rooms, chat functionality and real-time surveys are a few ways event organizers can bring attendees into the conversation and help them be involved.
Can I reach more people with a hybrid event?
Definitely! With a hybrid conference platform, you can exponentially expand your event’s reach. Hybrid is an opportunity to ‘upsize’ your event, taking a smaller or regional event for example, and opening it to attendees across the globe. A hybrid event is an opportunity to deliver content to people exactly how and where they want it, regardless of whether or not they can attend in person. Connect with audiences who love your message and your product but are unable to travel to meet you. Host a physical event for those who can travel and virtual for those who can’t.
Can I use my own audio and video equipment for my hybrid event?
Yes, you can. Alternatively, you can hire GlobalMeet Production Services to extend your event to your virtual audience. Professional producers and technicians, as well as our 24/7 managed support team will bring your virtual and in-person audiences together.
How many people can join a hybrid event?
With our hybrid conference platform, 100,000+ people can attend your virtual event seamlessly. Speak with your venue of choice to determine how many people can attend in-person.
