❓ What is a Hybrid Event?

Confetti defines an event as hybrid when participants are joining as a group from the office or from both the office and from home.

Whether you're joining remotely or from a conference room, our live, friendly and engaging host will lead your event virtually and ensure that all your team members have a fun and fabulous time!


🔌 Preparing for a Hybrid Event

Each hybrid event is slightly different, as every office is set up uniquely! Although all Confetti hybrid experiences come with remote, real-time Zoom tech support, it's important to note that A/V equipment and A/V tech support is not included. Check out our Preparing for a Hybrid Event article for more information.


🤷 Unsure of Headcount for a Hybrid Event

If you are not sure how many people will attend your hybrid event, we offer flexibility for a small difference in headcount. We can typically make accommodations for a small fluctuation of folks (less than 5) on the fly as long as the additions don’t exceed the maximum headcount parameters for your chosen event.

All anticipated participants will need to be paid for in advance as we create materials for the expected headcount. You can always view an experience’s headcount minimum & maximum on the individual experience page.

If more participants arrive than expected, or if the number of unexpected participants exceeds the maximum headcount parameters, those participants are welcome to stay as audience members.


📄 Sign-Up Sheets for Hybrid Events

If your Hybrid event requires a sign-up sheet for your chosen team allocation, we recommend having in-person players and virtual players on their own teams. We find this helps keep the game flowing smoothly. However, you are welcome to mix and match players if you would prefer!

This only applies to certain events – your event briefing will reflect if you need a sign-up sheet or not.


🔄 Switching from Remote to Hybrid

We cannot accommodate switching from a Remote to a Hybrid setup for every experience. If the experience offers the option to choose your Participation Type when booking, you are able to switch from a Remote to Hybrid format! If this option is not offered, the experience is only available in the Remote format.

To request this switch, click the chat widget on any experience page to message our team.


🚫 Why isn’t the event I want available as a hybrid event?

At this time, not all our experiences are optimal for hybrid settings. This is due to how the experience is currently designed or at the vendor’s request. Check out our Hybrid Events Collection to see all the experiences we offer that can be run as hybrid events! We’re constantly working to make our events even more accessible to teams in all environments.
