What is a hybrid event? The term hybrid event simply refers to any meeting, seminar, or conference that has both an offline (in-person) format and an online (virtual) format. The online format is meant for remote attendees and the offline format means a physical meeting of attendees in one specific place (hall or room). Hybrid events have certainly gained traction in the last 5-10 years, and since the pandemic, they are more popular.

What is a virtual event? A virtual event is an online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment on the web, rather than meeting in a physical location. Virtual events are typically multi-session online events that often feature webinars and webcasts. Another definition A virtual event is an organized gathering that enables a group of people to communicate, share ideas, and enjoy a shared experience virtually not by a physical meeting. The only difference between physical events and virtual events is that virtual events occur online, rather than in-person. You don't need any special equipment to host a virtual event but we only need digital online conference platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and others depending on which platform we choose that will comply with the requirements of our event.
