The world is becoming small with the advancement of technology. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, it had become impossible for people to meet in person and connect. So, people started connecting virtually for personal and professional reasons.
Professional virtual meetings can be explained as a form of communication that enables people in different physical locations to use their internet-connected devices like smartphones or laptops to meet in the same virtual room.
Hybrid meetings are where it features at least one group of in-person/face-to-face attendees connecting virtually with other meeting attendees. Hybrid meetings have been around for several years, but their importance grew during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.
People use virtual and hybrid meetings synonymously but they are not the same. When a person sitting at his or her home in Singapore connects with a person sitting at his or her place in India virtually using a digital medium for professional reasons is an example of a “professional virtual meeting” whereas a round table meeting where all the participants ask questions and send comments while networking with a speaker present digitally is an example of a hybrid meeting as the speaker is present virtually whereas the people are present in a meeting room for round table discussion physically.
We now clearly understand virtual and hybrid meetings based on the above examples.
With the rise in the demand for these meetings, a professional virtual and hybrid meeting organizer is the need of the hour. Many such professionals are there in the market, but most deliver below the par performance.
