Online events offer convenience, lower costs, and greater accessibility, enabling wider participation and increasing revenue for organizers. However, the digital format may result in less engagement and transformation for attendees. In contrast, in-person events provide real-time interaction and sensory engagement that aids memory and builds trust. With the rise of AI, authenticity online is challenging. Hybrid event planning bridges the gap, combining the strengths of both formats and fostering lasting relationships and transformation despite potential inconveniences.
