JUNO, a transformational digital experience platform that connects people at events and creates 365-day communities, knows the challenges facing event professionals today can be overwhelming. Hybrid events in particular are creating challenges along with the vast opportunities.

Presenting to virtual and in-person audiences simultaneously can reap great benefits for organizations with members who rely on them for networking connections, education and business growth. The sheer number of connection opportunities increases when the audience overall increases and can access each other across the digital and face-to-face channels. Education and commercial interactions with exhibitors and sponsors can be maximized.

Dig deep to really understand how the technology connects people to each other, to content and to experiences across the three environments: virtual, in-person and hybrid.

• Does your digital platform allow for interaction between onsite and online participants?
• Does your platform create exhibitor matches across environments?
