The nineties. A time of euphoric music and vivid colours. Many events have tried to tap into the era’s nostalgia, but few do it better than Noughty 90s Festival. Established in 2019, the event had some challenges. Like many festivals, the pandemic proved a tough ask. But they persevered. The result of all their hard work?

Society presents women with challenges. Sexism, lower pay and barriers to entry are just a few. Often, people see the music and event industries as utopian spaces. A place where people can find solace from the ills of the world. But it doesn’t always work out like that. The challenges presented to women show up across the industries.

The staying power of hybrid is undeniable. While the events industry is now seeing a welcome resurgence of live, in-person gatherings, it’s clear that hybrid — thanks to its inherent agility as an event format — has become a trusted tool of planners in a relatively short space of time. That same agility means that hybrid is actively being shaped to yield to the on-going needs — and even to the future demands — of industry professionals and the audiences they serve.

When my colleagues and I returned from IMEX last year, we noticed that many event professionals no longer use the word “hybrid” to describe their events. We heard from attendees that hybrid events were too complex, and required double the budget, double the time, and of course, double the work. I think the hesitation around hybrid events comes from the idea that they require event professionals to create the exact same experience for both audiences.
