Breakouts
Hybrid Events – Confusing Possibilities Made Simple
Mixed-format live breakouts for every interest and participation level after the program. At any live event, people interact at different comfort levels. A Hybrid Event is no different. You don’t have to turn on your camera if you don’t want to, but you will have the ability to interact at your comfort level with industry professionals and peers.
Hybrid breakouts spanning a variety of topics will run concurrently – but don’t worry, all content is being recorded and will be available on demand for future viewing, so choose the breakout that you’d prefer to interact with in real time, and save the others to view later.
