Event Format Advice and Resources
Virtual, in-person and hybrid. How do you decide which event format is best for your event? We offer points to consider to aid your decision making.
Host your virtual event live stream from anywhere. Your engaging and successful virtual event can be produced entirely remote, broadcast from our Portland, Oregon, production studio or live streamed on-location. Hybrid events add an online broadcast to your in-person event.
We live streamed more than 1,000 virtual and hybrid events between March 2020 and the end of 2023. Please scroll down for examples of each type: entirely virtual, in-studio, and on-location and hybrid.
Our Virtual Event Production Guide is a helpful resource when considering your live stream production options.
Our team is an extension of your team. You’ll have a dedicated production manager, director, and technical producer working together to ensure a high-quality webcast run like a live television show, broadcast in 1080p, and delivered to your audience online. During the live stream, the technical producer seamlessly transitions between live and recorded content, adding graphics, picture-in-picture, and web page captures.

Hybrid events bring online and in-person audiences together. You can host one audience on-site and provide a live stream for guests who are not able to attend. This is a great alternative for event planners who would like to capture the in-room atmosphere and excitement of the live event while reaching a larger online audience. Options include live streaming part or all of your in-person event, live streaming to hosted watch parties, or broadcasting simultaneous events. Watch recent hybrid and on-location live streamed events below.
