The future lies in a smart mix of hybrid and digital meetings

November 7, 2023

The world of congresses and symposia is changing. According to our futurist Martijn Verbeij of Studio Convex, it is high time to keep up with that change! "Traveling all over the world to always be physically present at events is a thing of the past. But does this mean that we have to do all meetings online? No, certainly not! The future lies in a smart mix of hybrid and digital meetings."

"Congressen en symposia zijn altijd de plekken geweest waar we kennis delen en connecties maken. Toen de pandemie toesloeg, hebben we webinars en online evenementen omarmd, breakout rooms, quizes en interactieve Q&A’s om de betrokkenheid hoog te houden. Nu, na de pandemie, staan we voor de uitdaging om het beste van beide werelden te behouden."


"Met Studio Convex focussen we op kleinere, hybride bijeenkomsten waar mensen actief in discussie gaan. De bijeenkomsten zijn uitermate toegankelijk, want iedereen kan volwaardig deelnemen, ongeacht hun locatie. Dit bespaart tevens ook kosten en vermindert de CO2-uitstoot. Laten we slimme keuzes maken en vooruitgang boeken zonder de wereld over te vliegen voor elk congres."
