The hybrid model of working adds an extra layer of logistics and complexity to an event. Luckily, the Roundhouse has got you covered with five ways to reconnect with your audience and group in a hybrid world!
Have a clear objective of your conference and follow through!
Having this north star in mind will give the audience more structure amidst the other logistic details there may be! Your objective is your big idea, and we want your audience to walk away with your intent!
Keep your network informed
With work now operating on two different platforms, it’s important to sustain your connections and keep your network informed! Messages can be lost in translation so there should be more of an emphasis on maintaining transparency. Establishing this transparency will create more effective and more authentic connections within your team and network!
Have a strong and tech savvy facilitator/host
No event is hybrid without a possible tech issue and being tech savvy as a host is a great perk! Being able to establish tech expectations and move with last-minute changes is not a job for everyone and having that one host or facilitator will elevate your conference.
Encourage a safe space for your audience
Ensuring that your conference is a safe space to share (with a facilitator who is ready and flexible) is one of the most important things for a virtual space and can avoid the common virtual lulls in conversation. Attendees may feel disconnected from the audience and the event so encouraging discussion, maybe through virtual Q&As or forums, should be on your mind!
Let your audience feel valued by your inclusivity
Establishing the right technology is key to creating connection from all angles. The Roundhouse can assist you, where we are equipped with hybrid web conferencing with dynamic multi-camera and AV capabilities. Accruing your “connection currency” is key and can be vital in your event and conference management!
