Virtual and hybrid events

Plan access, live sessions, rehearsals, and participation for people joining from different places.

Virtual and hybrid events add work that an in-person event does not have: joining instructions, speaker and moderator rehearsals, a plan for technical problems, and a way for remote attendees to take part rather than only watch. These guides cover that work. Several are archive articles that have not been fully revised, so check vendor details and figures against current sources before you rely on them.

Start with these guides:
