Here\u2019s how it works \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This radial concept pertains to events that exist both remotely and\/or in-person with multiple locations. The \u201chub\u201d is based on a platform that delivers consistent branding and messaging to all participants. The \u201cspokes\u201d range from individual viewers to packed arenas. Spokes can be watch-only or participate in bi-directional communication as determined by need and budget. This model ensures the same experience for everyone whether at home, a hosted watch party, or a traditional ballroom\/arena venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tangible benefits include …<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who should consider this model?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Corporations<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/strong> A national sales kickoff with associated regional meetings. This allows regional officers to have their own culture and their own experiences … dealing with their team on a local level while still participating in the national event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/strong> A town hall with executives broadcasting from across the country to show solidarity among the company and to include each location in a relatable, personal way. Regions can also broadcast back with a presentation or perspective that\u2019s unique to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nonprofits<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/strong> A virtual fundraiser with hosted watch parties (homes, restaurants, country clubs, etc.). This model is efficient in raising money through co-branding and co-locating. Sponsors can \u201cown\u201d a location making it special for them and their VIP guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Associations<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/strong> An annual association meeting with keynote presentations, entertainment, and bylaws voting plus regional breakouts and social gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Houses of Worship<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/strong> A service with multiple locations viewing the primary campus (with live feeds from other campuses). The worship band can be divided between the campuses so each site has a complete in-person experience. Following a message from the lead pastor, secondary sites can cut away to their local worship band and pastor delivering a message at their individual locations. Of course, feeds from one or all of the campuses can be streamed for parishioners participating from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of your industry, the Hub and Spoke Model has advantages over traditional events and might be a good option for you.
