• More and more communication will be done On-line (including conferences)
• Conferences will become more interactive
The market goes from selling information to selling interaction and involvement
Owners of content and connections are interested in monetizing and expanding their
influence.
Natural field for expansion is the Internet

virtual component(s) (online attendees)
Hybrid events deliver more value:• BOOST: provide more value by driving increased event
attendance and viewership
• REACH: involve and engage those who can’t attend due totravel restrictions, scheduling conflicts and budget cuts
• STREAMLINE: make content available immediate for on-demand viewing, avoiding costly and time-consumingencoding, editing or post-production processes
• TEASE: reach new audiences online with taste of what the on-site event is like
• ROI UP: increase revenue by selling live or on-demand accessattendees
• REUSE: use conference webcasts from the past year inmarketing for upcoming events, enticing firs-time attendeesto participate

What’s needed for turning a physical event hybrid?
Most hybrid events provide
• No sense of belonging to the physical event for online audiences
• Poor involvement of the online audiences in the event. It’s hard to keep the attention of remote audiences: Why watch livestreamed video if it’ll be available on-demand? And archived views are less valuable. It’s easy to find smth. more pressing to do
Most hybrid events lack:
• Interaction between onsite and online participants
• Channel for communication for presenters and online attendees
Presenters do not see online attendees, and little do they care about them
THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN PHYSICAL EVENTS AND ONLINE AUDIENCES
…OR most hybrid events are
simply a physical event + another online event?
Our Hybrid Events are all about complementinglive events so that onsite and online attendeesare united into one and the same audience,with ability to view the same scenes, andinteract in real time as if they were in one place

10 common pitfails to avoid when designing a hybrid event
Create a virtual room
Users want to receive the same value fromonline participation in conferences that they canget if they attend in-person. This means thatonline conferencing goes far beyond enablingaccess to presentations and video, it’s all aboutengagement.
Conference Attendees want to:
• Participate in events without actually visitingthe venue in-person
• Listen presentations• Discuss about the presentation• Make new connections, exchange experience
and ideas• Find partners and prospects• See and be seen
Hybinar is a platform that:
• Helps participants benefit from attendingconferences via Internet

conference ended• Discuss about the slides with the author and the
community• Or, maybe add their own materials
Benefits for Speakers
• Save time and money: interact with audiences tofull extent without having to travel
• See if their presentation rocked• Attract more followers, friends, clients and
partners• Aggregate feedback (polls’ results, comments,
links, etc.)• Involve attendees in preparing materials, sharing
their own thoughts before and after the eventtakes place
Hybinar benefits for event organizers
In order to enjoy the advantages of the Internet,a special infrastructure is required that not onlyprovides with the option for remote participantsto attend with comfort, but also allows to chargefor such experience (or not to charge, whateveryou wish).
