Strategies for Successful Hybrid Meetings

Hybrid meetings offer flexibility, as participants may attend in person or remotely. It's more than simply streaming your presentation. Instead, the virtual and live aspects should be planned together, providing both audiences the opportunity to equally engage with one another. Learn the strategies for implementing inclusive and collaborative hybrid meetings.

In this one-hour workshop for faculty and staff, we'll cover steps you can take before, during and after meetings to ensure an engaging experience for yourself and your participants.

The workshop will be held in the Instructional Resource Center (IRC) Room 202.
