Hybrid events: the major trend of 2025

Following the rapid growth of virtual meetings, the hybrid event - combining a face-to-face audience with an online one - has become the new standard. By 2025, 62% of organizers plan to integrate a hybrid module to maximize their reach and offer an inclusive experience to their participants. Wisembly
This configuration presents a dual challenge: to create intensity on the site while delivering engaging content to connected viewers. The key? Professional visual capture capable of translating the energy of the venue and delivering, in near-real time, thoughtful images for social networks, streaming platforms and your website.

Photography & videography: the essential duo for a successful hybrid

1. Immediate immersion for online audiences
   Tight shots of the speakers, clear sound and controlled lighting transport virtual spectators into the heart of the action, giving them the impression of being in the front row.
2. Creating sustainable marketing assets
   An after-movie recap, highlights capsules and a photo carousel reactivate the event over several months: B2B follow-ups, recruitment, previews of the next edition.
3. Strengthening brand image
   Consistent images, in line with your corporate identity, consolidate your company's credibility with an often international audience.

HUBZ404: your visual partner for hybrid events

Based in Montreal, HUBZ404 puts its mastery of event photography and corporate videography to work for your conferences, galas and product launches. Our expertise rests on three pillars:

1. Strategic pre-production

We start with an in-depth briefing to identify :

• objectives (lead generation, visibility, ticket sales);
• key moments (keynotes, panels, networking);
• visual KPIs (vertical format for Reels, wide shot for livestream).

A technical survey follows to ensure a stable connection, an optimized camera plan and consistent lighting in all areas of the site.

2. Expert capture on D-day

Our corporate videographers operate 6K cameras and certified FPV drones; our event photographers use silent full-frame bodies and bright optics. Result:

• a smooth livestream for your online audience;
• high-resolution photos ready to tweet or post on LinkedIn during the event;
• B-roll footage shot backstage to enrich your stories.

3. Agile & SEO-friendly post-production

Within 48 hours, you'll receive a social teaser and a first batch of optimized photos (ALT tags, descriptive file name). Within ten working days, we deliver :

• a rhythmic after-movie, with FR-EN subtitles, in 16:9 and 9:16;
• a pack of video extracts for TikTok and Instagram;
• a press kit containing your best shots in high definition.
