Comments on: Five mistakes of hybrid events http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2010/02/five-mistakes-of-hybrid-events/ THE MAGAZINE FOR ENTERPRISE USERS OF VIRTUAL WORLDS Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Yun-Mei Lin, HR Spec http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2010/02/five-mistakes-of-hybrid-events/comment-page-1/#comment-3926 Yun-Mei Lin, HR Spec Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:56:55 +0000 http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/?p=33722#comment-3926 Thank you for a very insightful article, and timely too. I recently took on the task in my organization of presenting a monthly demonstration that has been traditionally hybrid. I've found this to be a very difficult medium. Having had ample experience presenting to in-house audiences and to virtual audiences, this is my first experience at presenting to both at once. The dynamics and flow are very different in each situation, and I am struggling with marrying the two techniques. I have suggested that we separate the two presentations, directing one to the virtual only and the other to in-house, but that decision is not in my hands. I would love to learn more about how to conduct a successful, seamless hybrid event. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

I recommend this post to all who are, as you say, just starting out in the hybrid event arena. I will post this on Twitter for many others to appreciate.
