Why Hybrid Events Are Here to Stay
There will always be people who can't attend in person – due to distance, health, or budget. Hybrid events combine:
- in-person guests on site
- remote guests who join via livestream or recordings
The challenge: how can you create one shared story?
Building Block 1: Different Roles, One Experience
- On-site guests experience atmosphere, food, spontaneous encounters.
- Remote guests see curated moments (ceremony, keynote, speeches).
- Both groups can contribute photos to one shared gallery via the Photo Game App.
Building Block 2: One Central Photo Hub
Instead of separate channels and folders:
- create a single event in the Photo Game App
- share the QR code at the venue
- share the link or QR in your livestream, chat, or follow-up email
All images land in the same place, sorted by time and event.
Building Block 3: Tasks for Remote Guests
Remote guests can:
- post selfies in their "event outfit"
- share screenshots of key moments from the stream
- show how they've set up their home viewing space
These images make your story richer and show that people joined from different locations.
Building Block 4: Respect & Privacy
When streaming, be especially careful with:
- which areas you show on camera
- how clearly you communicate recording and distribution
- which photos and screenshots you include in public recaps
Moderated galleries in the Photo Game App make it easy to approve only the images that fit your privacy standards.
Building Block 5: One Shared Wrap-Up
After the event:
- send a link to the curated gallery to all guests
- highlight a few moments where both on-site and remote perspectives come together
- invite feedback and additional photos
This way, people feel: We were part of the same story, even if we weren't in the same room.
