These are the slides of a series of completely-free and educational-only online courses, I hosted together with Jennifer Kingen Kush, highlighting some of the most effective solutions for organizing Digital and Hybrid events. The slides can be helpful to all those colleagues working in the meetings and events industry around the world, damaged by COVID-19 that need to pivot to digital or hybrid events. The presentation provides guidelines on the most important aspects to consider when switching to digital, also giving an overview of what are the most effective techniques to engage participants. It gives also an overview of the most reliable tech solutions to use, and of some selected free tools including Facebook-live and other social media features.
