Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a hybrid event?

A hybrid event is exactly that, a hybrid between a live, in person event and a fully online offering providing you with the same features as a live event. It is an extension of the live event, providing you with another way to engage, doubling your opportunities to connect with your audience – both in person and online. This is done through various user-friendly virtual platforms and include live streaming, matchmaking services and more.
Why participate in a hybrid event?

Over the past year, the way we communicate and engage has completely transformed. Even technophobes have had to join the party and are finding it surprisingly easier than expected. So too, we have had to adapt the way in which we host events to enable us to continue to connect buyers and sellers through strategic networking and credible content in a safe and convenient way.

So in 2022, while we recognise that face to face engagements offer opportunities for deeper engagement, we are embracing the exciting world of hybrid events and looking forward to providing successful and safe events!
What are the benefits of a hybrid event?
In a recent study conducted by The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), 81% of participants surveyed stated that although they would prefer to attend a live event, there are significant benefits of attending a hybrid event which include:
- Extended reach: meeting and engaging with people from across the globe both in person and digitally allows you to extend your reach and gain more exposure.
- Grow your network: the hybrid event allows you to engage with an audience both in person and digitally, allowing you greater access.
- Meet your clients where they are at: with the pandemic causing havoc, clients might find themselves unable to travel or have increased pressure on budgets and time out of office. A digital option is the perfect way to overcome those challenges.
- Increased ROI: with a larger audience reach through the hybrid offering and the exposure gained in a measurable and quantifiable platform increases the value received.
- Flexibility: The hybrid event allows you to participate and gain exposure despite any disruptions that might arise.
- Shift in audience needs: Due to travel restrictions, some are not yet able to travel but still have the need to engage with the market. By participating virtually, we are able to overcome the restrictions and keep you connected to your audience.
