Anca Trifan is an event producer, audio engineer, and all-around AV Unicorn. She joins me this week to discuss, as you might have guessed from the title, hybrid events. Our world is becoming more virtual and our virtual world is becoming more real, so how does this reflect itself in our worship services? Are truly hybrid or interactive services a thing?
