Abstract
The Covid 19 pandemic, by necessity, caused a rapid transition to and adoption of virtual and hybrid events by many individuals and organisations. Consequently, there have been significant technological developments for delivering such events and social acceptance amongst organisations and consumers of their value. As we return to a more ‘normal’ operating environment, many events have reverted to face-to-face, and others have chosen to remain/reinvent themselves as virtual and hybrid events. While this has presented some challenges and issues, it has also highlighted the range of benefits that virtual and hybrid events can offer both to organisers and attendees.
