What do we mean by hybrid event?

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, groups and organizations have been experimenting with how to run an event, with in-person events becoming extremely high risk for public health. However, burnout due to oversaturation is increasingly more common with the boom of virtual meet-ups. Hybrid approaches that puzzle together in-person activities along with virtual ones are useful to strike a balance between safety and accessibility of the event and creating meaningful virtual interactions.

The future has become more uncertain with Covid-19 and this process aims to expose the invisible underpinnings and care work that goes into creating events, integrating the in-person with the online, and raise awareness around more flexible ideas of event creation especially with Decidim, a transparent, open source community tech solution.
