Hybrid Events

Something that is becoming more and more common in our industry is what is called hybrid meetings. A hybrid meeting means that you have both guests on site and guests who participate via some form of digital channel.

For example, it could be a conference with 400 guests in a ballroom where the staff from the local office is on site and the rest participate digitally via live stream. Such a solution is both cost-effective and sustainable for the environment.

We have solutions for hybrid meetings in all forms, regardless of whether the majority of guests participate live or digitally. We deliver scenography, decor and a complete technical solution for guests on site, while our image technicians ensure that a first-class TV broadcast is produced for your guests who participate digitally.

If you want to combine your live stream with a digital platform for interactivity and communication between guests, we are close partners with the Swedish platform provider Twebcast.

Our services for hybrid events

These are the departments that are usually involved when we do hybrid events:

Sound technology

Our sound technicians handle the sound for guests who listen live and for those who participate digitally. They supply wireless microphones, tape technology, DJ equipment, mixing consoles and everything in between to give your guests the best possible sound experience.

Lighting technology

The lighting department sets the event both live and digitally. With an arsenal of different lighting fixtures, our lighting technicians select a solution that is right for your event!

Image technology

The image department supplies image surfaces for the event with LED screens, projector screens and TV screens. The screens are controlled with image mixers and media servers and then connected to the equipment needed for your event. This can be playout computers for film screenings or presentation equipment.

The imaging department then films everything with studio cameras, which are image-produced and mixed into a finished TV program that we broadcast to your guests who participate online.

Decoration

The decoration department builds and carpets stage decks. They build sets and environments with furniture, fabrics and decorative elements and ensure that your event has exactly the color, shape and feel that you are looking for.

Carpentry

The carpentry department is our extension of the decoration department that takes over when solutions start to become truly custom-designed. They carpentry new sets and build furniture for studios, stages and lounge environments.

Print

The print department is also a way to extend our design and decoration leg. We produce prints in different forms for different needs. It can be large foiling for floors, ceilings and walls, a cut-out logo in frioglit on a plexiglass carrier or a foil logo on a lectern.

Project management

Our project managers have extensive experience in hybrid events. Our project managers coordinate the delivery from all our departments and ensure that your vision is communicated and realized within the agreed budget.

Visualization

Our visualization department produces scaled and dimensioned drawings for your hybrid event so that you and the project manager from Edge get a good idea of the end result well in advance of the event. We can also produce almost photorealistic 3D renderings of our solutions that really give a sense of how the end results will be experienced. This is a very good tool when decisions about solutions and budgets are to be made in several instances.

Graphic Production

Our graphics department produces bumpers, jingles and intros for hybrid meetings and broadcasts. They are experts in which file formats and resolutions are best suited for different applications and help you convert graphics from existing brand guides and brand guidelines to the current project. After the broadcast is completed, they also do post-editing and cutting of the recorded camera material.

Hybrid meetings with guests live and digitally, simultaneously.
