Hybrid events: live and online connected in one experience

Hybrid events are hot! The concept has been around for a while, but since the coronavirus pandemic, this event format has accelerated. More and more organizations are choosing a hybrid event for its greater reach and increased flexibility.

Not very familiar with this type of event yet? No worries! On this page, you can read what a hybrid event is, what it delivers, and how we at TotaalBeleving ensure your hybrid event becomes an impactful total experience – both online and offline.

What is a hybrid event?

A hybrid event is a combination of a physical *and* digital event. Both the live attendees and the online participants take part in the event at the same time and experience the same content. But each from their own location: on-site or online via computer or phone.

Important difference from a regular livestream: While a livestream is often only one-way traffic (broadcasting a presentation), a hybrid event is all about interaction. Think of live Q&A, polls, online breakouts, quizzes, and even live voting.

The goal? Expand reach *and* create genuine engagement – for everyone.

Why choose a hybrid event?

A hybrid event offers unique benefits:

• Greater reach – everyone can participate, no matter where in the world
• Increased engagement – thanks to smart interaction
• Cost-saving – less travel, less logistics
• Sustainable – lower CO₂ footprint
• Flexible – scalable and quickly adaptable to changes

For companies with multiple locations, international teams, or a mix of target audiences, a hybrid event is often *the* solution.
