Business professionals are now very familiar with working remotely and conducting meetings online, and many large conferences have returned to face-to-face meetings. However, with fuel and flight costs rising, in-person attendance is again under question.
The solution: ‘hybrid’ conferences and meetings, with those who can – attending in-person, and the rest taking part online. We’ll help make your conference more accessible, more authentic and more fun!
Hybrid: built with inclusion in mind for a fulfilling experience participating in the room or at home.

FAQ
We’re happy to answer any questions you may have – send us a message below, or have a look at the most commonly asked questions we get about our virtual and hybrid conferencing services.

All of our events are built with inclusion in mind. People who can benefit from your message but can’t be in the room should have just as fulfilling an experience remotely. Likewise, speakers and contributors from other locations should be able to add value with just as much impact as if they were right here at the lectern.
And it doesn’t have to be just one-way. We’re talking full interactivity for discussions and Q&As where the communication is natural and a smooth experience for everyone involved.
Adding to that, voting, polls, quizzes, and instant feedback all packaged in a really easy interface participants can access from their phone, tablet or computer. Results are instant and can be displayed on the screen in real time.
Today’s devices make it very easy to discuss projects face-to-face however in most instances a professional environment will require a separate team with good equipment and technical know-how to ensure things go really smoothly.
One situation that can be challenging is managing sound and showing presentations when combining physical attendees with those online. It’s possible without a professional team but if you’d like things to just flow without awkward pauses and jarring interactions – then you should call CTRL.
Also, if you need multiple cameras to follow the action, want to capture high quality sound, make use of redundant broadcasting signals so every second of action is covered, plus have the ability to switch cameras, catch interviews and anything else you’d associate with live broadcasting, you’ll find that having a professional and experienced team is invaluable.
Definitely! We are full 360 media agency, versed in everything required to get as many viewers as possible to watch. We can provide event planning and promotions, social media posts during the event itself, and post-production of footage for highly produced content highlights.
Because there is such a wide array of virtual and hybrid event possibilities, it’s hard to say how much to budget you will require. One thing is for sure, a virtual event could cost as little as a third of the expense of a large traditional conference. Please get in touch here or send us an email at hello@ctrl360.media and and we’ll be happy to discuss everything you need to make your broadcast the best it can possibly be!
