Hypotheses: Our Starting Point

1. Do less and keep it simple
2. Make it personal

Hypothesis at start of the project:

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.

Check out our <Tips & Tools> page if  you want a more global overview of our take-aways.

We can create low thresholds via

1. Activation – make everyone a participant
2. Collectivity – share across the divide
3. Setup – playful approaches
4. Awareness – presence through avatars, names …
5. Mimicry – spaces that look and feel ‘familiar’
6. Context – existing modes of engagement
7. Atmosphere – informal, safe, comfortable
8. Initiative – interactions, questions, prompts

Visibility – privacy, interaction thresholds
