Step One of Your 2021 Hybrid Event Strategy

July 31, 2020

In my conversations with association leaders, I’m hearing three main questions:

  1. How do I build a hybrid event portfolio for 2021 and beyond?
  2. How do I level-up on virtual events by making them more profitable and engaging?
  3. How do I strengthen the operating income of my organization?

I’ll be breaking out solutions for each of these issues over the next three weeks.

First, I’m going to lay out a few constructs for planning your hybrid event. Many decision-makers feel paralyzed about moving forward without a clear strategy. They’re waiting for more information or for circumstances to improve. We can’t wait any longer—the time to make decisions is now.

Watch the video to learn:

  1. How you can move forward with decision-making in a time of imperfect and incomplete information
  2. How you can evaluate where you are right now and develop a hypothesis for where you’ll be next year
  3. Why you need an intentional strategy to maximize the four key components of hybrid events
