DISCOVER SOME OF THE EVENTS WE HAVE ORGANISED
ALTERNATIVE TO STATUS
Hybrid events combine the flexibility and ease of online events with the drive, features and networking of live events. A viable alternative that made it possible, during the pandemic, to continue organising and running events while respecting distances and from then on establishing itself as a new format in the events world.
I. What is a hybrid event
A hybrid event is an event that combines elements of the online with the offline. Guests can attend the event in person or digitally, depending on their location or preference. Hybrid events can include components such as live presentations, interactive sessions, Q&As, networking sessions and more. These elements are combined to create an engaging and immersive experience for guests attending live as well as those attending online.
Word from the expert
“The hybrid mode has become the norm. Hybrid events are in fact the majority of events. Just think that almost all congresses adopt a dual registration mode by default: on-site and online. This differentiates the participation costs, which vary according to the duration, even partial, of event membership. This is why the world of virtual is now a must for any type of event.”

II. Advantages
The success of hybrid events is now undeniable. How come? Read now about these 5 incredible advantages:
2. Flexibility
Hybrid events offer greater flexibility than live or online events. guests can choose to attend the event in person or online, depending on their location or preference. in addition, accessing the event content online and on a delayed basis at any time and in any location allows all guests to actively participate in the event even if not present in person.
3. Engage
Hybrid events harness technology to ensure an immersive and engaging experience for all participants. the combination of live and online interactions creates a unique momentum that encourages active participation. this increases engagement and connection with the audience and helps build more lasting relationships.
5. Green
Hybrid events are eco-friendly, the organisation and production of the event can be managed in an all-digital and paperless manner: from remote technical rehearsals, remote directions, registrations, helpdesk, marketing activities; to the possibility of managing contracts and paperless releases with a focus on reducing carbon emissions.
Hybrid events also make it possible to embrace the ‘0-flight‘ policy and with the use of local suppliers, both in Italy and the rest of the world, it is possible to greatly reduce the Co2 impact.
An innovative approach that results in cutting unnecessary costs and the possibility of reinvesting in the content portfolio.
III. How to organise a hybrid event
To organize a successful hybrid event, you will need to:
DEFINE YOUR GOALS
It’s vital to define the goals of your hybrid event before you start planning it. This will help you identify the key elements and features required to create an engaging and immersive experience for all participants.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLATFORM
There are many platforms available for creating hybrid events. Choose a platform that offers the features and customisation options you need to achieve your goals, as well as a high degree of flexibility in the interactive modules available and good value for money.
CREATING AN ENGAGING PROGRAMME
The programme is the most important part of your hybrid event. Make sure it is engaging and interactive, with the right mix of live presentations, interactive sessions, Q&A and short talks designed for better online enjoyment.
PROMOTE THE EVENT
Make sure you promote the event properly to reach your target audience. Use social media, email marketing and other marketing strategies to promote the event and invite guests to attend.
MONITOR AND REVIEW RESULTS
After your event, it is important to monitor and review the results. Analyse data on attendance and participant behaviour to pinpoint better opportunities for future hybrid events. Use this information to improve the quality and effectiveness of your organisation and marketing strategies.
In short, hybrid events represent a unique opportunity for companies to reach a wider audience, build lasting relationships with their audience and improve their effectiveness in creating events. With the right planning and the use of the right technologies, hybrid events can be a success for both the companies and their participants.
