Hybrid has considerable experience producing a range of conference programmes and events. The company has developed a unique style of drawing together traditional conference approaches alongside a cross section of artist's interventions and opportunities for networking that enable intensive and cross sector engagement for all participants.
Examples include developing the programme for the first 'What is Urban' event for Punch; a conference exploring young people’s understanding of urban culture. Hybrid worked with Arts in Sandwell to produce the 'Tools for Change' conference which focused on social inclusion and the arts. Hybrid also has considerable experience of event planning, such as the Black History Month launch Birmingham 2005, 2004, 2003; Sound It Out’s 10th Anniversary: Celebrating a cross section of work; and the Playing Without Borders event at Symphony Hall featuring refugee musicians.
Due to our extensive experience, Hybrid has been able to successfully respond to a range of challenges. One example of this was a 3.5 week deadline to co-ordinate a mid-scale children's consultation exercise. This was achieved by the production of a large festival in seven venues over one weekend. This included identifying artists, co-ordinating and arranging publicity, setting up training and evaluation days, managing the budget and facilitating the documentation and production of an evaluatory accompanying CD.
