What is a hybrid event?

Simply put, an event taking place in a physical venue, whilst also being attended by a live and interactive audience online. Hybrid events take your in-person attendees and online attendees and create a experience where both audiences can interact, participate and engage despite being in separate locations. This is achieved through the seamless integration of technology within the event.

Why choose a hybrid event?

Reach international audiences
You can reach audiences from all over the world with a hybrid event, engaging with people that may not have been able to attend in-person or would rather not travel

Sustainability
Hybrid events can reduce environmental impacts through reduction in travel and energy usage

New data
With an online audience you have a range of data and analytics that you may not have had before, helping you measure the impact of your event

Flexibility
Give your guests the option to stay at home rather than attend in-person before they are comfortable. By recording the event, guests have the option to watch at their own leisure.

Filming and Photography

As one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in London, the Cathedral provides an outstanding backdrop and a versatile space that has been used in a number of high profile productions.
