Join the team at BankersHub as they discuss how going hybrid, in-person meetings that are live-streamed to remote audiences, is helping meeting and event planners achieve their goals of increasing networking opportunities, building better brand awareness, and ultimately creating an archive of sessions that can be accessed by audiences anytime, anywhere.

They’ll address the hows, whats and whys of planning your next hybrid event, including

• how to navigate the hybrid world by selecting the right format and the right streaming partner
• what’s the best way to prepare your speakers and designing content that works for a remote audience
• how to make your remote audiences feel engaged and special
• why streaming your event will NOT cannibalize the face-to-face audience
• how product launches, corporate training, and user conferences can all be enhanced by  going hybrid.
