Hybrid meetings create new programming options for meeting planners, with the ability to incorporate on-demand virtual sessions with in-person physical sessions. Last-minute changes in speaker participation could change a previously planned in-person physical session to an on-demand virtual session and vice versa. Hybrid meeting planners have also become more comfortable with the concept of post-meeting on-demand virtual sessions as the standard for previously recorded physical sessions.
To improve meeting planner communication with attendees during the planning, on-site, and post-meeting phases of a conference, cPlanner has been updated to allow Terms within Session and Presentation details pages to replace the date, time, and location with a specified term the customer is using for “on-demand”.
An example of using the new TERMS functionality on cPlanner to display “Hybrid On-Demand” for appropriate Presentation details and Sessions details pages is as follows:
1. In Settings -> Blocks & Terms, find the System Terms related to the Planner
2. Edit the Meeting Override value for the Term Name “planner-on-demand-label” to “Hybrid On-Demand”
3. Go to Sessions, select all the sessions, and click “Bulk data change.” Select “OnDemand” and verify the change shown below. You can also choose On-Demand “On” for individual sessions
4. Below is the cPlanner Presentation details page with the “Hybrid On-Demand” displayed removing the dates and times
