Thank you @TusharSuradkar for supporting this topic.

This topic got triggered from our discussion here as managing and holding hybrid meet-up is challenging when it comes to a meet-up with a large gathering.

The important aspect also is to when and in which scenarios Hybrid meet-ups work well.

The key objective is to Care and Share the experiences.

Thank you @PrasadVR for the follow ups and coming up with the great design.

We are looking forward to Participative approach than on Prescriptive approach and hence request you all to share your experiences which will become the guiding factor for the rest.

Good catch @Kumaarsantosh :+1:
I have faced this problem always.

@TravellerG had long back suggested working with a co-host.

So @AjitThite and @ShubhamWaman usually take care of the online sessions in all Pune meetups that I host.

Thank you @ShailendraOjha. I give my ears to your thoughts. I remember our related talk during Contriburor Conversations event in Google office, Gurugram.

Very well said @Kumaarsantosh :+1:

We don’t want participants to lament about their experiences.

Rather, we expect participants to share what could be done to overcome the challenges that they faces - so that others can avoid what went wrong in their case.

Thank you very much for referring my idea in your post, dear Tushar…
Here’s a rough draft I prepared for the ‘Benefits of having Co-host’ for In person meet-up…(I couldn’t locate the Virtual one).
Hope this will be helpful…

Dear @ShailendraOjha, kindly have a look, if time permits…
