Since the outbreak of theĀ COVID-19Ā pandemic, companies and business owners can no longer host any physical events to host their business seminars and conference or promote their products onĀ roadshows. As governments around the world have strict policies in social distancing and prohibited the hosting of physical events to prevent the spread ofĀ coronavirusĀ in the community.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to which companies can host live streaming events either for business meetings or marketing promotion in the virtual platforms to connect and engage their target audiences thatĀ are baseĀ inĀ real-time.Ā
When it comes to live streaming services, there are two ways to host a live streaming event and that is the virtual event or hybrid event. Virtual live streaming events are straightforward and people can host their streaming event using liveĀ webinarsĀ or webcast platforms to broadcast to their online audience. Hybrid events are a mixture of both virtual and physical events where the production crew needsĀ to beĀ presented in an actual venue and prepare their staging equipment to host and broadcast the target audience online. Other than the panelist and the production crew, hybrid events also include a numberĀ of attendees thatĀ are allowedĀ toĀ participateĀ in the eventās venue during the broadcasting.Ā
Depending on the eventās agenda andĀ requirement, most of the live streaming event hasĀ hostedĀ in the virtual method which helps companies and business owners to save time and money as the live streaming eventĀ can beĀ host in an indoor studio environment that has a useful feature to allow the host speakers or panelist to interact and engage easily with the online audience during the event. Hosting live streaming events online also helps businesses to reach a larger large audience without any boundary restrictions since the attendees can use their laptops or smartphones to log in to view the event anywhere in the world.
Hybrid event is more common for big corporate events likeĀ TownhallĀ meetings orĀ AGMĀ (Annual General Meeting) which requires a large venue for the setting and involves a certain of performers and host speakers to take part in this big event for the company which a small studio set are not able to accommodate the eventās agenda and planning.
Depending on the situation and the live streaming eventās requirements, both hybrid and traditional live streaming events have their advantages and the main difference for both is that hybrid event is more for large events where there are high levels of participation and engagement in the physical venue where virtual events are more for small or private events that do not need a physical place for hosting andĀ can beĀ produced in an indoor studio environment.
