Virtual & hybrid event training modules by Bump.

Virtual is here to stay and hybrid events will soon become the norm.

We’ve spotted a knowledge and skills gap among Brussels-based organisations looking to level up their virtual and hybrid event production skills to go well beyond the "standard Zoom look" without having to resort to exorbitant external costs for event production.

At Bump, we've been on a mission (filled with trial and error!) to figure out which techniques and technology should be part of the package for a level of production that looks great, is easy to use and is budget friendly. We’ve tried everything so you don't have to. You can just skip to the good parts.

This five-module training course is designed for any industry association, NGO, non-profit, institutional, communications or public affairs agency professional whose job it is to run high-quality virtual or hybrid events.
