Hybrid events
Are any other organisations thinking about hybrid events as employees start to return to the workplace post the COVID-19 pandemic? What scenarios are you thinking about? What infrastructure are you thinking about for the in person portion to enable interaction between in person attendees and remote participants? What feature gaps do you see to enable hybrid events? I'm working with an organisation that is trying to answer these and other questions. They envision creating purpose built spaces to facilitate hybrid events with: interactive video walls, virtual/hybrid partner booths, SW services/Apps to support feedback from in person and remote participants, potential use of mixed reality to give remote participants a more in person like experience (AltSpace/Azure Mesh). It would be great to hear from others what they think. Will events return to how they were before COVID-19, will events remain virtual/remote or is there a need for a hybrid event?
