    Here's how I would facilitate interaction for the open forum described above:
    1.Utilize a hybrid event platform that seamlessly integrates onsite and online participation. This platform should support live streaming of presentations, interactive features such as chat, Q&A, and polls, and virtual breakout rooms for group discussions.
    2. Assign a designated moderator or facilitator responsible for managing the flow of the session and ensuring equal participation from both onsite and online attendees.
    3. Implement audience engagement tools such as live chat, polls, and Q&A sessions to encourage interaction from online participants.
    4. Provide virtual networking opportunities for online participants to connect with each other and with onsite attendees.
