Recently, the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (a Swiss government department) asked us to put together a guide on how to implement virtual events (workshops, meetings, conferences). As part of the mandate, we used one of their conferences to test some design patterns, facilitation methods and technical arrangements. This experience influenced the guide.
The guide sheds light on the following areas:
The guide ends with some very practical suggestions, e.g. how to adapt facilitation methods to hybrid situations, an example of a facilitation script and a possible network plan of how to plug together different devices in a workshop room to allow for hybrid facilitation.
