82. Special Episode: Reinventing Hybrid Learning Events – Physical Space in Hybrid

In the sixth episode of the special series – Reinventing Hybrid Learning Events with The Learning Ideas Conference 2022 – we discuss some important considerations on how to design the physical space of a hybrid event. To truly bridge the in-person and online experience, there are key ways of designing the space, technology, and professional support to blend the experience. We discuss how and why it’s important to think about space differently in the hybrid world.

In-person events are slowly returning, and the future is hybrid. Creating a successful hybrid class, conference, or meeting requires new skills. In this collaboration with The Learning Ideas Conference 2022, we will explore the different aspects of how to create a successful hybrid event. In the months leading up to the conference, we will follow the journey of how The Learning Ideas Conference prepares a new hybrid experience for June 2022. The Learning Ideas Conference is dedicated to reimagining education and workplace learning, using new technologies to provide us with new opportunities. With the goal to always innovate, in 2022 The Learning Ideas Conference is creating new approaches to hybrid experiences, and exploring what collaboration and networking could be in a hybrid environment. In this special series of The Art & Science of Learning podcast, we will follow the progress of creating this new hybrid experience, discuss the best practices in the field, and share useful tips on creating successful hybrid events. I am very happy to have back on the podcast the founder of The Learning Ideas Conference.
