In the seventh, and final, episode of the special series - Reinventing Hybrid Learning Events in collaboration with the The Learning Ideas Conference - we reflect on the experience of creating a hybrid event a year after the conference was designed as a fully hybrid experience.

My guest, the founder and chair of the conference, who shares tips and insights that can help others design successful hybrid.

Creating a successful hybrid class, conference, or meeting requires new skills. In this collaboration with The Learning Ideas Conference 2022, we explore the different aspects of how to create a successful hybrid event. In the months leading up to the conference, we followed 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.
