Hybrid Events: What Are They & Why Bother?
After nearly two years of non-stop virtual events, many of us can't wait to return to in-person events. Why bother with Hybrid?
After two years of mainly virtual events, many of us can't wait to experience the electricity of the in-person experience... so why not plan separate in-person and online events?

Basic Setup:
- Virtual Speakers & Hosts

Who This Works For and Why:

Case In Point:
Startup Edmonton hosted a hybrid pitch event. The entire event was hosted virtually, for all presenters, judges, hosts, and attendees. What made this event hybrid? After the pitches were completed, there was an in-person event hosted at a local brewery.
How Startup Edmonton Hosted The Event:
- 3-minute virtual pitches using Streamyard and YouTube
- 2-minute virtual Q&A for each pitch using BuzzIt
- Reservation at the local pub
Provided after-party details to attendees, hosts, pitchers, etc.
