In online events, participants will interact with each other through digital technologies such as online video, chat, email, video chat or online meeting application. Online events are often used in training, seminars, exchanges, councils, conferences or other communication activities.

The benefits of an online event include cost savings, convenience for participants, and the ability to quickly update. However, online events can also be difficult to create a professional and effective interactive environment like offline events.

3. Hybrid event

A “mixed event” is an event that combines online (online) and in-person (offline) elements in a single format. It allows the audience to attend the event in both forms, the option of participating online or offline depending on the preferences, information and form of attendance.

In a mixed event, online and offline activities are integrated together to create a comprehensive interactive experience for attendees. For example, an offline discussion session can be streamed live to allow the online audience to follow and participate in the conversation. At the same time, online activities such as live chats, polls, and social media sharing can also be integrated to enhance audience engagement and engagement.

The combination of online and in-person elements in a mixed event enhances flexibility and convenience for attendees, as well as opens up more opportunities for event organizers to interact with each other and enhance their advertising effectiveness.
