Awesome, interactive hybrid events aren’t the future; they’re the present! Around the world, amongst all sorts of companies, communities and organisations, people have made the switch to hybrid events – a semi-virtual event which has components taking place both in-person and online.
But setting up a hybrid event probably takes loads of knowledge, equipment, effort and resources, right?
Actually, you’d be quite surprised. Facilitating a top quality hybrid event is a lot easier than you’d think and today the experts at AVisual Productions outline the new tech you’ll need for doing so.
Visual
Putting on a great hybrid event is all about making your virtual attendees feel like they’re not just in their bedroom or home office, but as though they’re right there, in person, at the event. To do this, you have to give your virtual attendees the gift of sight, which is where visual tech comes into play. This could include:
- High quality cameras recording the physical event
- High quality webcams
- Projectors
- Virtual event platforms (which we’ll discuss further in the post)
Audio
Hybrid events need top notch audio too, so that all attendees can clearly hear what’s happening. Audio that you’ll need for hybrid events includes:
- High quality microphones
- High fidelity speakers
- Audio interfaces for virtual presenters
Interactive touch screens
An incredibly powerful tool for in-person events, interactive touch screens can be used for almost anything – from work conferences to interactive art exhibits to wedding celebrations! Nothing is impossible when you have an interactive touch screen.
Let’s say you want to set up an interactive touch screen in which wedding guests can write something meaningful to the lucky couple, so that they can always look back and cherish their special day. Interactive touch screens can make that possible.
But, even cooler than this, the same technology can be employed for virtual attendees. Let’s say you’re hosting a work conference, in which polls and quizzes feature heavily. For physical attendees, a portable interactive touch screen (like an iPad) can be used. But for virtual attendees, a simple smartphone app or desktop website can be used to facilitate this.
Virtual event platforms
And finally, you’ll need a virtual event platform. These useful tools allow modifiers to create polls, ask questions and give answers, enter private video rooms and much more.
