Turned upside down: That's what the world has been through Corona. But as is the case when chaos throws everything into disarray. And the dust settles again. Then something new is created. Solutions are found where problems were considered unsolvable. A step forward has been made. This also applies to the MICE While the conference industry has largely already embraced and implemented digitalization, the pandemic has revolutionized this sector as well. And created a new type of conference: hybrid meetings. This is also possible in conference hotels. Staudacherhof.

Hybrid. A word that has so far been associated more with vehicles. Essentially, the term defines itself as something bundled. Mixed. In cars, it's about the drive energy from two different sources. And in relation to MICE? It's a new event format. Hybrid events are a cross between a classic conference (onsite) and a virtual meeting (online). Some participants meet in a conference room and discuss things in person. At the same time, additional listeners join in. Digitally. And the space is expanded on a virtual level.

Are traditional conferences a thing of the past? Personal exchange. Face-to-face discussions. Effective teamwork. Meeting in a conference hotel. Social distancing and contact restrictions have deprived the business world of the basis for this. Staying together in a confined space. At least temporarily. A new logic has been created. One that reduces personal contact. But still does not harm the team workflow. By combining both – in-person and virtual events – this works wonderfully. The direct exchange with those present remains. The digital expansion of the space is a major benefit. We are convinced: hybrid meetings are a format that will remain. As a new part of MICE-Future.

Flying across Germany to attend a conference? It's no longer necessary. Speakers and participants from all over the world can be integrated. Digitally. Via live broadcast. Whether there are ten viewers or 10.000. Everything is possible. At hybrid conferences, everyone shares the live experience. On-site in the conference room. At home in front of their laptop. Or via smartphone. Without physical or geographical boundaries. Worldwide. So simple. So much more sustainable. And so much more cost-effective.

Combine the best of both worlds with hybrid events: Lively exchanges with on-site speakers, outstanding all-inclusive service at the Staudacherhof conference hotel, and digital interaction. With an unlimited number of participants.

The right technology and the right conference room. These are the basic requirements for a hybrid conference. And we meet them at the conference hotel in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. For example, in our Gams room. With its extraordinary flair, it's small but perfectly formed, yet perfectly equipped with the latest conference technology. An 85-inch TV, a Bose sound system with a handheld microphone and headset, high-speed internet with 500 Mbps data transfer, and much more. So nothing stands in the way of your conference success. Neither on-site at the Staudacherhof nor in the virtual meeting room.

Are you interested in organizing your next conference as a hybrid event? The event team at the Staudacherhof conference hotel is ready to support you. We'll work with you to plan and implement your event, tailored to your needs and flexibility.

We look forward to seeing you!
