Tips & tricks for planning a hybrid event

Our guide to planning a hybrid event provides you with step-by-step instructions to support you throughout the planning process.

Tips for planning a hybrid event in Cologne

How do I seamlessly integrate virtual participants into my event?

Be bold and creative with formats and methods. Hybrid discussion panels, live polls, speed networking, world cafés or interactive games are just a few ideas for blurring the line between the digital and analogue worlds.

Are there any special challenges when it comes to security and hybrid events?

Data protection is an important factor. Every single participant must consent to the streaming of the event. The IT infrastructure needs to be robust and safe from hackers.

What technical requirements do hybrid events require?

In addition to a modern and resilient internet connection, video, and audio technology as well as the lighting at the location must work seamlessly together.
