What is Hybrid Event?

Definition

An event that combines both in-person and virtual attendance options, allowing attendees to participate either physically at a venue or remotely via live stream. Hybrid events typically have different ticket tiers for in-person vs. virtual access.

Why it matters

Hybrid events expand your potential audience beyond geographic limitations, provide accessibility options, and can increase total revenue by 30-50% through virtual ticket sales. They've become standard for many conferences and corporate events.
