Hello Everyone,

I am constantly asked, "Why does my company need a planner? Our team has always taken care of this and everyone has a good time."

Why? because events are more than just connecting they have the power to educate, invigorate, and create change. When an experience is transformative, it changes the perceptions and behaviors of its participants. The path a participant takes from the moment they first hear about your event to the post-event evaluation is called Attendee Mapping. Hybrid Events and Resources works with your planners and organizers to follow the attendee's journey.

By working with us you’ll learn what the most important elements are for your event. You’ll also learn very quickly if there are areas you’re spending time and money on that aren’t serving your customers well, or if there are elements you lack and need to develop.

Why are people craving in-person events?

MORE PERSONAL
Get an opportunity to interact with people and read their gestures and facial expressions to understand better.

INTEREST AMONG GROUPS
Meet people with similar interests and share your thoughts. That is so refreshing than viewing someone on screen.

BUILD TRUST
You are likely to trust someone you meet directly rather than just e-meeting them. Creates a sense of confidence.

ATTENDEE ENGAGEMENT
You have no distractions. There is always two-way communication ensured that leads to equal participation.

FREE TO MOVE ABOUT
You are free to walk anywhere, especially trade shows or expos where you pick articles or review products to get the touch and feel.

IDEAL FOR LONGER EVENTS
You can take multiple breaks, have food or beverages with other attendees, and continue enjoying the event.

LESS TECHNOLOGY
All you need to do is walk into the event venue empty-handed or with just a pen and paper, ready to listen and speak.

We are here to help you meet all these goals, give us a call and
LET'S MEET!

Will the metaverse replace in-person meetings? It is an upgrade for sure and can be an added benefit to virtual meetings but after these last two years, I can't imagine anything replacing the importance of in-person interaction. What do you think?

My top Tips on Gathering Safely

~Nothing to Hide
Be completely transparent about how food is prepared. Consider an open kitchen, where guests can watch and ask questions. This builds trust that safety measures are being met and also adds a level of excitement to the meal.

~New Seating Layouts
Clients don't want to lose that ability to network, by offering new and varying seating options such as small soft seating “pods”, high tops, an 8’ table with six people sitting in a zigzag pattern. These small but impactful adjustments will show your participants that you have taken into consideration their safety while offering a comfortable environment to mingle.

~Covered Cuisine
The days of open buffets are gone. Instead, most event organizers are opting for plated service, where masked servers bring dishes directly to each attendee. To add an extra level of safety, keep meals covered until placed on the table. For some fun, rather than using the standard stainless covers, use glass cloches to add some pizzazz to the dining experience.
Ask your caterer and event design firm to use small cloches to cover its one-bite canapés. Use larger cloches over main dishes and desserts. Colorful food and a good presentation will produce a wow factor that guests will not forget.

~Make It Mini
Adhering to health protocols doesn’t mean you have to skip the passed hors d’oeuvres. For those who want to offer their guests a variety of foods, this can be done three ways: passed, pre-plated, or set up at server-attended stations. Make everything mini, and into individually portioned servings. As an example when offering a charcuterie, use mini boards, which is a great example of form and function because they’re so cute and easier to handle. Even with food prep, you don’t have to have too many hands touching it.

~Add Mocktails to the Menu
A rising number of attendees are cutting back on cocktails, and planners are recognizing that trend. Not only does limiting alcohol and/or serving zero-proof drinks encourage healthier habits, but it also can reduce the risk of attendees becoming intoxicated and ignoring safety protocols. Among other benefits, attendees who drink less or abstain will feel better and more alert for learning. As a bonus, nonalcoholic drinks are typically less expensive.

~Timing is Everything
Allowing more time for meals is one way to avoid the problem of long lines at food stations. For large meetings, consider splitting attendees into smaller groups and assigning meal times or different dining locations. This will minimize the rush of food lines and will help limit the potential for exposure to illness. Guests will likely feel more comfortable dining with fewer people and are assured we're taking the time that is necessary at meal breaks to do it safely.
