As we round out our Clubhouse conversation with Crystal Garcia, we talk about considerations for groups planning hybrid events, including pricing and moments of engagement. When it comes to hosting a hybrid event, reinvesting money that is not spent on travel or hotel expenses is a great way to draw in the virtual audience. This can be done by sending them something beforehand to make them feel like they're a part of the experience without actually physically being in attendance.
In some of our more recent events we have been using Mentimeter, a collaborative word cloud software that allows groups to share a word or phrase. Interactive elements like this are great for engaging the group in the room as well as those tuning in online. Crystal also shares about some interactive games she has used at her own virtual events to allow everyone in attendance to participate.
Crystal ends the discussion with a mic drop phrase: “If you can’t do great things, do small things great," reminding us of the ripple effect that occurs when we are intentional about even the smallest things.
Crystal is a Digital Strategist, Virtual Events Producer, Online Business Manager, AND the founder of Propelcon.
