This document introduces a new hybrid conferencing platform called "Hybinar" that aims to unite online and in-person conference attendees into a single audience. Hybinar allows remote speakers and attendees to view the same presentation slides and videos as the in-person audience in real-time. It also enables interaction between online and in-person participants through features like question/answer functionality, polls, and a dashboard for speakers to see both audiences. The document outlines how Hybinar benefits speakers, attendees, and event

2. Part 1. Preface
• More and more communication will be done
On-line (including conferences)
• Conferences will become more interactive

3. The market goes from selling information to
selling interaction and involvement

4. Owners of content and connections are
interested in monetizing and expanding their
influence.

5. Natural field for expansion is the Internet

6. Hybrid event =
Physical event
(in-person attendees)
+
virtual component(s)
(online attendees)

7. Hybrid events deliver more value:
• BOOST: provide more value by driving increased event
attendance and viewership
• REACH: involve and engage those who can’t attend due to
travel restrictions, scheduling conflicts and budget cuts
• STREAMLINE: make content available immediate for on-
demand viewing, avoiding costly and time-consuming
encoding, editing or post-production processes
• TEASE: reach new audiences online with taste of what the on-
site event is like
• ROI UP: increase revenue by selling live or on-demand access
attendees
• REUSE: use conference webcasts from the past year in
marketing for upcoming events, enticing firs-time attendees
to participate

9. Most Hybrid Events are all about
complementing live event with viewing
over the web and getting onsite and
online audiences see the same scene in
real time.

10. What’s needed for turning a physical
event hybrid?
Back channel Livestreaming Webcast or webinar Live text coverage
Telepresence or skype for enabling remote speakers 2D or 3D virtual platform

11. Most hybrid events provide
• No sense of belonging to the physical event
for online audiences
• Poor involvement of the online audiences in
the event. It’s hard to keep the attention of
remote audiences: Why watch livestreamed
video if it’ll be available on-demand? And
archived views are less valuable. It’s easy to
find smth. more pressing to do

12. Most hybrid events lack:
• Interaction between onsite and online
participants
• Channel for communication for
presenters and online attendees
Presenters do not see online attendees, and little do
they care about them

13. THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN PHYSICAL EVENTS
AND ONLINE AUDIENCES

14. …OR most hybrid events are
simply a physical event + another online event?

15. Our Hybrid Events are all about complementing
live events so that onsite and online attendees
are united into one and the same audience,
with ability to view the same scenes, and
interact in real time as if they were in one place

16. How to enjoy the benefits of hybrid events
without spending much time on making various
services work together or purchasing expensive
virtual event platforms?

31. Users want to receive the same value from
online participation in conferences that they can
get if they attend in-person. This means that
online conferencing goes far beyond enabling
access to presentations and video, it’s all about
engagement.

32. Conference Attendees want to:
• Participate in events without actually visiting
the venue in-person
• Listen presentations
• Discuss about the presentation
• Make new connections, exchange experience
and ideas
• Find partners and prospects
• See and be seen

33. Hybinar is a platform that:
• Helps participants benefit from attending
conferences via Internet
• Doesn’t require them to learn difficult interfaces
• Creates subjects for communication
• Is available on any device
• Allows to review presentations after the
conference ended
• Discuss about the slides with the author and the
community
• Or, maybe add their own materials

34. Benefits for Speakers
• Save time and money: interact with audiences to
full extent without having to travel
• See if their presentation rocked
• Attract more followers, friends, clients and
partners
• Aggregate feedback (polls’ results, comments,
links, etc.)
• Involve attendees in preparing materials, sharing
their own thoughts before and after the event
takes place

35. Hybinar benefits for event organizers
In order to enjoy the advantages of the Internet,
a special infrastructure is required that not only
provides with the option for remote participants
to attend with comfort, but also allows to charge
for such experience (or not to charge, whatever
you wish).

36. Hybinar benefits for event organizers
We can build such infrastructure that allows:
• Earn from selling on-line seats
• Generate leads

37. Hybinar benefits for event organizers
Organize conferences that unite onsite
attendees in different locations and time
zones and online attendees into a single
audience in the hybrid space.
