TIPS FROM AN EXPERT
Visit Baltimore ’ s director of events and tradeshows , Lindsay Ruocco , shares some best practices for virtual and hybrid events .
Send safety and communications expectations ahead of time to help attendees know that their health is your top priority .
For hybrid meetings with both in-person and virtual attendees , consider having a facilitator dedicated to monitoring virtual attendees who are raising their hand or sending messages in the chat so they feel like they are just as included and heard as in-person attendees .
Test all technical equipment in advance to make sure microphones and sound quality are clear . A strong Wi-Fi connection is crucial !
Plan virtual “ local ” experiences to break up the day . Programs like the ones mentioned here , in addition to wine tasting , flower arranging , trivia games and even kids ’ activities , have been met with positive responses .
