Intro Topic, Cyber Café, July 17, 2026 by Richard Bolstad was focussing on

Challenges and Experiences of Running NLP Training in Hybrid Form

Hybrid training promises the best of both worlds—combining the richness of in-person learning with the accessibility of online participation. At the same time, it presents unique challenges for trainers, assistants, and participants.

In this Cyber Café, experienced trainers Richard Bolstad and Julia Kurusheva from New Zealand have shared their extensive experience in delivering hybrid NLP trainings across different countries and cultures. They offered valuable insights into practical challenges such as technology setup, group dynamics, participant engagement, adapting experiential exercises, and maintaining training quality for both online and in-room participants.

For those of you who could not participate, we have uploaded some notes here.
