Hypotheses: Our Starting Point

Hypotheses we had starting these projects:

Online audiences are too often given a second-class ticket to the events they attend. At IMPAKT our aim has been to develop tools that create an equally high quality event for both in-venue and online guests.

It is easy to overlook how alienated an online guest can feel in a hybrid event. We have found that the biggest challenge is to create environments with a low threshold for online participation.

Over the past year we have been testing different strategies to blend these audiences and curate experiences that make the best of both in-person and digital environments. We took the following 9 principles as a framework to test different strategies and tools.

Click through to see what we mean by each term, and to browse how we implemented each one in related event case studies.
