Internal hybrid events share messages to employees gathered both in an office and virtually. These types of events are ideal for company-wide announcements, training, town hall meetings, department gatherings, sales meetings and more. Internal hybrid events connect attendees worldwide and the message can be recorded and shared later to eliminate scheduling conflicts.

An external hybrid event is for attendees outside your company or organization. Examples of external hybrid events would be conferences, summits, concerts, parties, virtual social hours/networking, seminars, workshops, classes, trade shows and product launches.

The term “hybrid event” in general means the event will take place both in person and virtually.

A webinar, or web seminar, is a form of web conferencing that includes everything from school courses and training to orientations and tutorials. Webinars typically involve video conferencing that lets users ask questions and present in real-time.

Virtual conferences are built around a live agenda that includes keynotes, breakout sessions, and more. Virtual conferences allow attendees to view keynotes in real-time and interact with other attendees. Virtual conferences can be recorded and streamed at a later date.

Webinars, virtual trade shows, demos and video conferencing meetings are all examples of virtual events. A virtual event is any event that can be experienced online instead of in person.
