Flexibility for speakers & exhibitors
By this time, we are sure you know flexibility is the middle name for hybrid events.
The same as audiences can join in from any part of the globe, speakers can even be a part of the event easily from wherever they are located. They are not required to fly in and by physically present. This saves them cost and time, while still being capable of taking part in the event.
In the same way for exhibitors, if they are not able to exhibit in person, they can set up their virtual booth in the virtual exhibit hall. They won’t have to sacrifice the experience simply for the reason that they aren’t able to be physically present at the event.
On-demand content
With an in-person event, the exhibitors have to print out resources. Money and time is spent on designing and printing numerous guides, brochures, and flyers, etc. And most of it goes missing under a huge stack of papers on the office desk.
However, content available online can be to viewed, downloaded and printed whenever you like. The attendees can save the resources to their device. You can even email the content to attendees and non-attendees after the event.
Now how will you run the hybrid event? Being familiar with the advantages of hybrid events is just sufficient to encourage you and your collaborators that they must be pursued.
