As pandemic restrictions loosen globally, your organization may be leaning towards having a hybrid meeting to slowly ease back into having physical attendees, while still remaining compliant to health and safety protocols. Unlike virtual-only meetings, hybrid meetings have additional requirements such as a physical venue, and the need of state-of-the-art audio & video production equipment. Here is a checklist of the factors to consider when choosing the best hybrid meeting venue.

“Where should I find the link to my next video conference? Did the administrator send it to my email?” A line like this resonates with the overlooked plights most directors and administrators have in this age of video conferencing.

Though these video conferencing problems may be considered trivial, they cause significant nuisances if not promptly addressed.
