What do water bottles, satisfaction surveys and meeting technology have in common?
They all can be part of making your next conference more sustainable. Just maybe not in the way you might expect.
Creating a successful hybrid event doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't happen in a vacuum. Victoria Fanning, a face-to-face meeting planner for over a decade, and now the Director of Hybrid and Online Meetings at EDUCAUSE, should know. She plans five major blended conferences, two multi-day online events, and numerous online seminars and webinars every year, with just about every possible combination of synchronous and asynchronous options offered.
Stop for a moment and think about the last presentation you watched (or presented). Did the speaker read the slides to you? Did you hear the phrase, “Now this next one might be a little hard to read”? Were there flashy animations? Or over-enthusiastic use of clip art?
You aren’t alone.

She's got six chapters and eighteen potential paths for you to explore: from popular monetization models to stats on the growth of the blended event market, from hybrid event marketing techniques to little known tech tips that save time and money.

The final in our four-part webinar series brings you the culmination of this educational series. In order to prepare you to integrate virtual event technologies to your event marketing plans, there is one final element to understand. The technology can feel daunting and understanding technical requirements goes beyond the event professional's standard skill set. However, this session will give you the basic understanding of technical requirements to get started.
After this session, you will leave with an understanding of:
How did a small regional association engage members, create valuable new partnerships and generate new revenue without new staff or fundraising?
With webcasting technology, that’s how.
You know that feeling of camaraderie you build with fellow attendees during a conference? Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to keep that level of networking and interaction going long after the event is over?
Stephanie Martinez did. And she came up with a very clever way to launch that community on the heels of their first hybrid event: build the network on a foundation of conference content through event webcasting.
What advice would you give an association with 45,000 members, two annual conferences and declining meeting attendance? What if they had no new money for webcasting services or virtual event technology? And what if they’re convinced hybrid events are going to cannibalize their onsite attendance?
Stumped? Sound familiar? Then this webinar is for you.
Is 2011 the year you’ve decided to put some portion of your conference online? You aren’t alone. Every week more multi-track, multi-day events take the plunge.
Some quietly record every presentation, making them available to attendees after the event on-demand. Some live stream into a private portal for a remote audience. Some webcast only keynotes but share them far and wide through social media.
All however could save time, money and aspirin by making these 10 resolutions.
