    Hi community members! We're here with the next Huddle of the Week discussion.

    If you've seen our current Poll of the Week, we asked you what type of service provider is the most crucial in executing a hybrid event. Currently, the majority says a provider for Attendee experience.

    Cvent is launching a new solution that will help you source vendors for hybrid events. Therefore, we want to dig in more on this polling question and give you a space to share any feedback. Take a look at the vendor categories and discussion questions below:

    Vendor Categories:

    • Video production and editing
    • Content and design
    • Attendee experience
    • Event management
    • Third-party planning or travel support
    • Transportation

    Discussion Questions:

    • What type of service providers listed are most crucial in executing your hybrid events?
    • Are you looking for vendors outside of the above categories? If so, what type of vendors?

    Let us know your thoughts and feedback below! #HuddleoftheWeek #VoiceIt​​

    • What type of service providers listed are most crucial in executing your hybrid events? Video production and editing are our most vital!
    • Are you looking for vendors outside of the above categories? If so, what type of vendors? What about a gifting vendor? We usually give gifts on-site to attendees but we'd need/want some agency to help us manage giving that same boutique gifting experience to those not attending in real-time.

    Hi Danielle/Rachel - In understanding the type of service providers most crucial for executing our hybrid events - we are looking for GLOBAL suppliers.  I.e., those suppliers that understand global requirements and limitations, as well as offer customer support on a global level.  Using a regional supplier may work if your virtual event was localized, but for Enterprise clients, we are all to aware of issues that may happen in different regions, and working with a service provider who is already ahead of the game is key to success!

    • What type of service providers listed are most crucial in executing your hybrid events? For hybrid events I would say Video production
    • Are you looking for vendors outside of the above categories? If so, what type of vendors?  I agree with Rachel; Vendors that provide gifts, Things like nice speaker or attendee gifts. Companies can ship gifts directly to  virtual attendees and speakers so they will feel like part of the event.

    • What type of service providers listed are most crucial in executing your hybrid events?
    • Event management, transportation, video production and editing in terms of outside vendors (we do some of the other services in-house)
    • Are you looking for vendors outside of the above categories? If so, what type of vendors?
    • Under attendee experience, I would include entertainment vendors for opening/closing sessions, etc.
