Event Technologists
I have discovered a new job title “Event Technologist.” This person assumes the admin responsibility for hybrid meetings.I think there is a lot wrapped up in that short sentence.
“Hybrid events require skills in both virtual and onsite formats. (emphasis mine) Therefore, [organizations] need a point-person with the technological acumen to translate what’s available and how to use it effectively.”
Then, organizations need to let that point-person, the “event technologist” do their job.
FWIW, this is exactly what I regularly do for PGS and the VFW. I’ve been lucky that they both support me! This is what I did with the HOAs that I’ve supported in the past.
This title goes back to a key point we believe about hybrid meetings: “It takes a team.” Meetings take leadership with a vision, a facilitator that runs the in-room activities, and the “event technologist” that runs the technical side for the online audience.
