Behind the curtain of the successful BCI World Hybrid Conference and Exhibition.
What does it really take to run a global hybrid conference? You will hear a no-fluff, behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how The BCI’s flagship event evolved from fully virtual during the pandemic into a high-impact post-pandemic hybrid experience — with everything from stakeholder management and designing virtual lounges to live streaming and on-demand content.
You’ll learn what worked, what didn’t, and what The BCI Events Team wish they had known sooner. Expect practical tips, supplier strategies, tech truths, and budget battle scars. Sergio will also unpack how sustainability and EDI have been progressively baked into the planning.
Dare to design and deliver a hybrid event that’s seamless, inclusive, and engaging for a variety of audiences! Walk away with actionable tools, insights, and the confidence to do so!
Topics will include:
12:00 - Introduction
12:05 - Presentation
12:35 - Questions & Answers
12:45 - Close
