Hybrid Event Support

Is your event going virtual or hybrid for the first time, or could your virtual experience use a boost of creativity and excitement?

You’re in the right place!

For over 15 years, we have worked with businesses and organizations in several industries to help them go beyond the four walls of their venues to reach audiences all over the world. Before more advanced virtual event platforms existed, we mastered the art of engaging online viewers through the comments and chat features on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and Zoom.

The most exciting shift that we’re seeing in the event space is the rise in some of the most amazing virtual/hybrid event platforms. Some of them existed pre-pandemic while some were birthed during the pandemic, coming out of the gate with better features for audience engagement and participation beyond the standard chat box.

The Move to Hybrid Events

Expand the reach of your event with a virtual experience.

Now that the world has shifted, virtual events are becoming a part of the fabric of events large and small. Your event attendees expect to have a virtual option as the pandemic proved to us that it is absolutely possible to connect and attend and event from the comfort of your home or office.

The virtual option also opens the door for you to bring your in-person and online audiences together like never before. The move towards a hybrid event experience is gaining momentum as many event goers are demanding both options as they make their decisions to attend events. We have seen that events that offer both an in-person and virtual option are generating more revenue as this allows for more people to attend online.
Are you missing out on lost revenue because you don’t offer a virtual option?

Embracing Hybrid as the New Normal for Live Events

So what do you do when the demand for virtual events is not going away, yet your in-person events are what your team knows how to deliver best? Combine the two audiences into one hybrid event and create the best experience for both worlds.
It’s not enough to simply offer a virtual attendee option. For your event to truly be a hybrid event, the virtual experience has to be just as well planned and thought out as the in-person event. This is where many events miss the mark. If the virtual experience feels like an after thought, your attendees will know it, and they will lose interest in the event. The last thing you want is for your online audience to be disconnected. This can cause them to leave a negative review or worse, choose not to come back.
When you work with us to facilitate your virtual event, we will help you create an experience that everyone is sure to enjoy. From the pre-event check in to audience participation activities, to networking and all the way through the post-event survey, we work with you to make every attendee feel like they are a part of the same event – whether they are inside the event venue or miles away in their home office.

Live Virtual Event Host
Hire Lane Jones Be Your Virtual Event Moderator

When our clients returned to in-person events, they ran the risk of disconnecting from their virtual audience, even though they relied on them to get them through the pandemic. To bring the virtual audience into the in-person event, they added a virtual host whose only focus was keeping the online attendees engaged and cared for. The goal was to make them feel just as warm and welcomed as the in-person attendees felt.

Allow me to elevate the connection between your hybrid audience as your Virtual Platform Event Host or Moderator.

May Include:

Virtual platform attendee engagement • Between-session entertainment • Breakout room emcee • Comment moderation • Co-Emceeing with in-person host • Virtual backstage interviews • Run of show rehearsals • Professional studio background/stage
