Where to book your Hybrid event
Hybrid events are a hot topic for 2021. A hybrid event format offers both an in person and virtual solution for your conference, to maximise attendance and include participants who may be unable to travel. There are many venues who have invested in new infrastructure and / or technology to host this format of event, they include the Watershed Bristol, Doubletree by Hilton Bristol City Centre and Engineers House, part of MAKE Venues in Bristol.
