The concept

Hybrid events combine the physical and virtual world. Hybrid events are more interactive and allow for higher engagement and participation rates due to their digital aspect. Event registration and monitoring are made easier, and the experience on the day will combine both physical and virtual features.

Hybrid events will also provide a wider reach due to their lack of physical and logistical limitations. People from all over the world can participate in a hybrid event - while the physical fair still stays active.

Hybrid events from the exhibitor perspective 

This solution brings limitless possibilities regarding online and physical attendance for both recruiters and candidates. That means, that you as an exhibitor can choose from plenty of opportunities to present yourself. You can be present at the fair with an online or a physical stall, or even both. Further, you can decide how you want to make use of different features. E.g you can choose if you want to organise 1:1 conversations with participants, online, offline, or both.

We have added additional information about how you can use the different features in a hybrid event to each article. These articles entail additional information on how features can be used when participating in a hybrid event:

• Getting your company stall ready
• Adding team members to your stall
• Setting up and managing 1:1 conversations
• Setting up breakout rooms
• Managing your chat inbox
• Sourcing and reaching out to candidates

Connecting the online venue when attending the event physically

Each exhibitor participating in a hybrid event has access to an individual QR code. Candidates visiting your stall in person will then be able to scan the code with their mobile devices and will be redirected to your online stall. This can be useful to… 

... connect with relevant candidates. When scanning the QR code the candidate can connect with you via a button in the ‘Mobile view’. After the event, you can then easily access the candidates’ profiles and continue the conversations online! 

… refer to open positions. They can then access the job posts and use the event platform to apply for the jobs you are promoting in the event.

... refer to the information published on your stall. For example about your company or breakout rooms sessions hosted during the event.  

So, make sure to have your QR code ready! This will allow you to easily display the QR code to candidates at the physical venue.
