Determine if this is a public or private event. Your event can be accessible to all, open to only registered guests with a password, or strictly by invitation only.

2. Prepare in the format of choice (virtual, hybrid, onsite)

• How will the sessions be broadcasted if the event is hybrid or virtual? Will they be live streamed, pre-recorded or a mix of both?
• Is your event accessible via web browser, mobile app or both?

Our Micepad experts can suggest the best way to deliver your sessions throughout your event using Micepad.
