Hybrid Format: First of all, it is a great idea to have Hybrid sessions (Online and Onsite) as it’ll help reaching much audience and participants. Given that we’ll have all technical tools to support this, we do plan to provide online audience and participants with a live-stream link to give them the ability to attend, interact and share whatever thoughts and insights.
It may be either by our link or using the Official Online Participation Platform.
In addition to that, we do emphasize that any online speaker or participant will have sufficient connectivity to audience and participates in this hybrid workshop.

To facilitate interaction between onsite and online speakers and attendees, team will assign a fully-dedicated moderator/host who will be manage all conversations within the workshop.

To ensure the best possible experience for online and onsite participants, workshop moderator will use a PowerPoint presentation which shows the agenda. The moderator/agenda will have some stops to bring insights and thoughts from all attendees (person/online) along with 20min open discussion in the end of the workshop.
