hybrid events reimagined

By allowing delegates to join in person or online, hybrid conferences offer the best of both worlds. The hybrid format expands your range and widens your reach, allowing you to bring people together without putting undue pressure on their schedule, their budget or the environment.

Technology is key to this, of course, and that’s where our expertise in platforms, livestreaming and audiovisual systems comes into its own. We’ll work with you to ensure that the virtual and physical experiences blend together seamlessly, so that all participants feel that they’re right there in the room – whether that’s in the main plenary discussions or the smaller breakout sessions.

We can also diversify your delegates’ day by drawing on our expertise in team-building and entertainment, giving your guests the opportunity to network and enjoy each other’s company whether they’re face to face or continents apart.

And we’ll synchronise the delivery of snack packs, swag bags and post-session refreshments so that everyone can unwind in the same way at the same time.

Everything from start to finish was amazing and Jenny kept in constant contact – couldn’t fault Jenny or the company whatsoever. Organisation/Communication was 100% perfect.

Working with Maximillion has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for our organisation. Over the course of our 5-year collaboration they have expertly delivered a range of online and in-person events for us, including large-scale conferences and stand builds, internal staff gatherings, and engaging team away days. Their attention to detail, creativity, and seamless execution were evident in every event they organised for us. Whether managing the logistics of a high-profile conference or crafting memorable team-building experiences during away days, their professionalism and dedication shone through.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic murder mystery and DJ services the Maximillion team provided at our recent Renewables UK Seminar at Cameron House Hotel. It was an evening filled with excitement and entertainment, and Maximillion played a pivotal role in making it a memorable experience for all of us.

Mike and the team were great, really understood what we wanted to achieve on the event. Their willingness to adapt the schedule to help suit our needs was really helpful.

GTA Global

With restrictions in place that curtailed our previous plans for the company’s 50th anniversary we were delighted to find a great alternative and a team well-equipped to deliver an event for such a significant milestone. The Maximillion team worked closely with us, making suggestions and sharing ideas to help make our virtual away day celebrations a real occasion. The feedback from the events was really positive and it was great to have a chance to get together in such a fun environment when all the teams have been working so hard over the past months.

I received emails from the participants saying how much they enjoyed the event. Our HR manager stated he would use Maximillion again. Many thanks for all your effort.

TAQA Britani Ltd

Mike and his team did a fantastic job on the run up to and on event day. With the quick turnaround of plans, there was clear communication before, during and after the event. Thank you to Mike and the Maximillion team!

People’s Postcode Lottery

Sarah and her team have proved invaluable to the organisation of our flagship event held in London. We partner with leading physicians from across the world to bring the latest thinking in cardiology to the participants, who come from many countries. This requires a team that operates to a high standard and can offer an experience that all involved remember. A foundation of this is the attention to detail, and a drive to get it right – mostly hidden from all when working well, but very obvious if not done. I have no hesitation to recommend Sarah and her team if you have an event you wish to deliver a the highest standards. The Optima team sends all our thanks to them.

Just to say the event went brilliantly on Saturday. Had some really good feedback from people and everyone had a great time ???? Thanks so much for all your help!

Quorum

Maximillion ran the Urban Adventure for our teams with the activity run in Edinburgh city centre and the feedback has been nothing but positive. The activity brought teams together from different offices and different business areas and was a great way for everyone to get to know each other in a fun and informal activity.

Hybrid Conference FAOs

What is a hybrid conference?

A hybrid conference is a type of event that combines in-person and virtual components. Participants can choose to attend either in person at a physical location or remotely via a virtual platform.

How does a hybrid conference work?

A hybrid conference typically involves:

  • In-person sessions: Attendees gather at a physical venue for workshops, keynote speeches, or networking events.
  • Virtual components: Remote participants can join the conference through a virtual platform, allowing them to watch live streams, participate in online discussions, and network with other attendees.
  • Interactive elements: Hybrid conferences often incorporate interactive features like live Q&A sessions, polls, and breakout rooms to engage both in-person and virtual attendees.

To make a hybrid conference successful, you’ll need to incorporate AV elements. Check out our Conference Production page for more informaton on conference AV, or talk to our team today to discuss options!

How do you host a hybrid conference?

Conference planning for a hybrid event requires careful preparation and execution. Here are some key steps:

  • Choose a suitable venue: Select a physical location that can accommodate both in-person attendees and the necessary technology for virtual and hybrid events.
  • Select a virtual platform: Choose a reliable platform that offers features like live streaming, video conferencing, and chat functionality.
  • Develop a hybrid agenda: Create a schedule that balances in-person and fully virtual conferences, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants.
  • Promote the conference: Reach out to potential attendees through various channels, including social media, email marketing, and industry publications.
  • Provide technical support: Ensure that there is adequate technical support available for both in-person and virtual
  • participants. Evaluate the conference: Gather feedback from attendees to improve future hybrid events.

That’s quite a bit to manage, isn’t it? If you need help pulling your virtual and hybrid events together, get in touch with our team of event creators today! To find out more about running a successful conference, check out our case study detailing Star Refrigeration’s virtual anniversary event.
