Our Clients Rave About Us

Anika M

"A great hybrid conference platform with lots of engagement features. What I liked the best was the one-on-one service received from the beginning. Starting with Kate who helped with visionary planning and ending with Julia our project manager who was there for us from the inception until the wrap-up session. The weekly calls had kept us on track."

Laura B

"Far and away, the most interactive and best-looking hybrid conference software platform. Very easy for the attendees to use. It actually feels like an event rather than a glorified website or list of Zoom webinars. The support team is always available. I don't think the team ever sleeps. They were professional, knowledgeable, and has our best interest at heart."

James B

"I have done multiple events with Communique and I find it to be the best hybrid event platform on the market for the price. The attendees really liked the look and the feel of the platform and how easy it was to navigate. The mobile app was well received by the in-person attendees. Our account manager was there every step of the way to make sure it went off without a hitch."

Hybrid Event Resources

A hybrid conference or event caters to both in-person and remote attendees. The best hybrid conference platforms create unique experiences for different types of participants with a curated and engaging experience.

Organizers should use the term “hybrid” to mean that the event will reach both in-person and virtual audiences. The “how” and the “what” can be whatever works for your unique event, budget and resources.

How: Delivering an experience to the two audiences either non-sequential (in-person and virtual events are on different days) or sequential (at the same time).
What (are virtual attendee components and experience): Access to the streamed sessions only, include content, networking, booths?

Hybrid conference models will make events more inclusive than ever before. Whether people decide not to travel out of a concern for health and safety, budget, time constraints, or carbon footprint awareness, they will all be part of the event experience as one community.

What are the benefits of hosting a hybrid event?

Organizers are realizing that there are many benefits to hosting hybrid events.

Following has some of the top hybrid event benefits:

Connect with more attendees: Physical only events are limited to only those with the time and resources to travel. Sports teams figured out many years ago that they could reach more fans by broadcasting games through TV and cable in addition to stadium attendance. The same benefits apply to hybrid events.
Lower cost: Reaching attendees via a hybrid conference software is cheaper than the cost for travel, hotel, food, staffing, etc.
Facilitate engagement: The best hybrid event software platforms include a mobile app so that in-person attendees can search and connect with virtual attendees via text and video chat. Also, virtual attendees, as well as in-person attendees can participate in session Q&A.
Reduced carbon footprint: Physical events can have a large carbon footprint. Hybrid conferences can substantially reduce the events carbon footprint.
Extended shelf life: Physical events are done immediately after the last session or other agenda item. Hybrid events can be available on-demand for weeks or months to allow attendees access to recordings and content.
More data: Hybrid events produce way more data on attendees. Imagine someone following an in-person event attendee around with a clip board and writing down every thing they did (sessions watched, content viewed, booths visited, etc.).

What should I look for in a hybrid event platform?

The top things to look for in a hybrid conference software platform are:

Reliable technology infrastructure to mitigate technical problems during live days.
Robust attendee engagement features
The ability to customize the environment look and feel to promote your brand and event theme.
Help with set up and during live days
Experience in hosting similar events that you can leverage in designing your hybrid event.
