What is a Hybrid Event?

The truth about hybrid events is that the possiblities are endless. It's difficult to fully define a hybrid event because it can be any combination of physical or virtual attendees, booths, and presentations with virtual audiences, posters, webinars, and more.

So why are hybrid events so exciting if no one can define them? If the recent pandemic has shown us anything, it's that a virtual event presence, no matter the extent, is extremely valuable to event organizers. This online component not only increases visibility to a global audience but to also ensures that every attendee feels safe and connected.

Hybrid events aren’t bound by the limitations of solely in-person events. Where physical attendance may be geographically limited with a physical event, hybrid events are accessible to a broad audience. Event presentations, whether on-site or virtual, can be streamed for a virtual audience, and event features, such as exhibit halls, poster halls, photo booths, and more, create an interactive experience for both physical and virtual attendees.

We leverage the Chati platform, which is a flexible and scalable virtual event builder & platform to host our hybrid and virtual events.

Hybrid vs. Virtual

But why not just produce a virtual event? If that's what you want, then Labroots would be happy to help you, but let's dive into the differences between hybrid and virtual events and why event organizers are so excited about the potential of hybrid events.

Hybrid events have been around for a long time, we just never thought of them as such. Event organizers have been streaming presentations to a virtual audience for years, but now there is the opportunity to not only stream a presentation, but to make a physical event interactive with a virtual audience. Hybrid events marry the on-site features, whether it be presentations, exhibits, polling, etc., with a virtual audience, where event organizers and companies can receive feedback from both physical and virtual attendees.

Virtual events are just that - virtual. Although there are many benefits to hosting a virtual event, specifically the in-depth data tracking, the combination of physical attendance for more intimate meetings and on-site demonstrations, and virtual audiences for more public presentations has shown to be very beneficial for both attendees and sponsors.

Continuing Education Credits

By participating in some of our virtual events and webinars, you can earn Continuing Education credits. Each event offers different educational credits based on the content of the event and the eligibility of the presentation. Please see below for the types of CE’s offered.

Professional Acknowledgment for Continuing Education (P.A.C.E.)

All laboratory professionals who are licensed or certified need continuing education (CE). Some employers also require CE in addition to or in place of those requirements. This includes all Medical Laboratory Scientists, formerly Clinical Laboratory Scientists or Medical Technologists (known as MLSs, CLSs, or MTs); all Medical Laboratory Technicians, formerly Clinical Laboratory Technicians (known as MLTs or CLTs); and some Phlebotomy Technicians or PBTs. Typically, they need 12 contact hours per year to meet most requirements. Labroots is an approved provider of P.A.C.E. CE credits through the ASCLS. P.A.C.E. CE credits are acceptable in all states and countries except for Florida, USA. We are an approved provider of Florida CE’s through the State of Florida CE Broker. P.A.C.E. CE credits are available during the presentations enduring (on-demand) period and expire after one year from the date of the live broadcast.

Continuing Medical Education (CME)

Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits are essential for medical professionals to maintain their licensure and stay updated on the latest advancements in their field. These credits are obtained through educational activities which are developed and reviewed by experts in clinical areas, designed to sustain, develop, and increase the knowledge and skills necessary for optimal patient care. CME is a cornerstone of lifelong learning for healthcare professionals, ensuring that their expertise remains current and effective.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits serve as a quantifiable measure of engagement in professional learning and skill enhancement activities. These credits are accumulated by participating in various educational experiences, ranging from formal courses to informal training sessions, and are essential for professionals to maintain their licensure or membership in certain regulatory bodies. CPD credits demonstrate a commitment to continuous personal and professional growth, ensuring that individuals remain knowledgeable and competent in their respective fields.

Continuing Education Unit (CEU)

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) earned through NSGC-approved educational opportunities will be accepted by the American Board of Genetic Counseling for purposes of Genetic Counselor recertification. Labroots works with the NSGC to provide Category 1 CEUs. The NSGC grants a CEU for all educational programs with content targeted specifically to genetic counselors (10 hours of presentation are equivalent to 1 Category 1 CEU). Following the CEU approved presentation, an attendee will be required to take a quiz of the presentation and pass it (pass no-fail), as well as fill out an evaluation and submit a $25 fee, to receive their CEU certificate. These certificates are processed and provided by the NSGC. A CEU credit is available during the presentation enduring (on-demand) period and expires after 2 years from the date of the live broadcast.

American Association of Veterinary State Boards Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE)

Veterinarians must certify that they have completed a certain number of hours of approved continuing education to renew their license to practice veterinary medicine. Typically, they need 36 hours per year to meet requirements. Labroots is a provider of R.A.C.E. through the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). Following the CE-approved presentation, an attendee will be required to fill out an evaluation of the presentation to receive their CE certificate. These certificates are processed and provided by Labroots. R.A.C.E. CE credits are available during the presentations enduring (on-demand) period and expire after one year from the date of the live broadcast.
