How-To-Guide: How to Host A Successful Hybrid Event in 2021
2020- A year of Reinventing the Events Industry
The year 2020 was a strange year for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) industry. No live events, no business trips, no fam-trips...The world came to a standstill. Nevertheless, working and living in a vibrant city like The Hague means the world never really comes to a standstill. Our team at The Hague Convention Bureau saw this as an opportunity to start innovating!
From Zoom Sessions to Large Hybrid Events
As one of the first ones in our industry, we started hosting webinars, with the goal to share knowledge and to stay in touch with our colleagues worldwide. Now many months later we have done it all: from hosting live streams to hosting large hybrid events with viewers from all over the world. Besides, together with other forward-thinking destinations, we have launched the Hybrid City Alliance - a multi-hub concept with participating destinations from all over the world.
