                            when and if they want to. So keep their attention top-of-mind.

                          Configurations. When you move the audience and speakers to
                          different spaces, you can start recombining the building blocks of
                          your hybrid event. Here are some commonly used configurations
                          for hybrid events.


                                                                    Legend
                                     space types                             communication connection




                                                   = Face to face event
                                                                               = realtime 1 way broadcast stream


                                                                               = realtime 2 way communication
                                                                                                                   Some of your virtual viewers may get together in groups and
                                                   = Pod event                                                     watch the event together. Here, pods “watch” the content in
                                                                               = on demand broadcast stream
                                                                                                                   four groups; each has its own “live event” in other locations.                                                                                        This can then also be combined with pods and individual virtual
                                                                                                                   This technique is often used when room capacity at live events is                                                                                     participants.
                                                                               = near realtime
                                                   = Studio event                                                  insufficient, or when you want to connect groups of people who
                                                                                                                                                                                                  It’s also possible to combine elements from the above formats.           Studio + 2 way pods + virtual participants
                                                                                                                   can’t travel, and thus gather remotely in pods to have their own

                          Traditionally, we have speakers and attendees in the same venue.                           Main + 1 way pods
                          You have staging and production equipment in place for your
