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.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and your team for organising a truly memorable Christmas party for the JAA clan. We had a fabulous time and the activities and events you suggested really hit the spot in terms of being accessible, entertaining and fun. I would highly recommend you all for any corporate event in Scotland!

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.

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.

White & Mackay

After multiple attempts to run this course we got there in the end. Huge thanks to Mike for his flexibility in enabling the course to be rescheduled it was very much appreciated. I believe that the course was exactly what we needed and very timely, I am already aware of conversations and commitment to changing behaviours across the team already, so it definitely struck a chord. I really like Mike’s delivery style, he brings a wealth of experience and brings the training to life, keeping delegates engaged throughout, which can often be challenging. I left the course with lots to reflect on, both from a personal and team perspective and feel motivated to build on what we learned.

We held events running over two days. The Maximillion Gameshow which was fun and engaged all who attended the first evening event. During our away day we had Team Tops Trumps in the morning, again this was inclusive for all who were in attendance. Lastly during the afternoon of our away day we took part in Level-up which I have to say was great fun for all involved.

Thank you to Mike, Ross and Sandy from Maximillion for the team building in the afternoon, murder mystery that evening, Belbin Team Roles next morning, a fantastic team building session in the afternoon and, finally, a great barbecue that evening provided by Norton House. Although some of us were a bit slow of the mark the second day, the same positive attitude and enthusiasm from day one prevailed and I think we all got something out of it. It was clear to me that everyone was communicating and working together better by the end of the afternoon.

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you and your team for organizing such a wonderful event. Everything was handled so thoughtfully and professionally. Scott was a great help on ground and client really appreciated the entire Highland games setup. Please share my gratitude with all the team members involved in Highland games. Thanks to you & Jenny for accommodating last minute requests and making sure it was delivered on time. Whenever we have an event in UK, we will make sure to contact you guys. Next time please try and meet us. Thanks from entire team Thomas Cook.

Thomas Cook

As always, seamless operations of the event. Very flexible working with you guys. Guests were delighted. Everything went super well. Well done Mike and Rhys!

Sarah and her team at Maximillion are professional in every way. The quality of events we have run over the last 3 years has been of the highest quality across a mixture of online and larger face-to-face events. You not only get a ‘can do’ attitude but also adaptability as circumstances change and ideas that improve what you are offering your delegates.

Thanks so much for all your help! The client was very happy. The planning stages were smooth and Rhys and the onsite team were wonderful too. We would recommend! Thank you

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.
