contents In July 2025, the University of Adelaide hosted the Astronomical Society of Australia's Annual Scientific Meeting on its North Terrace campus. We ran the conference in a hybrid mode, with options for in-person and online attendance. This report details the procedures that we used to enable the online mode of the conference at minimal cost and minimal inconvenience to the in-person attendees. We discuss our choices of hardware and software and how we integrated these systems together. We summarise our experience of organising a local AV team and the procedures that we set for running the AV in each session. We present statistics of the online attendance numbers and post-conference survey feedback, and discuss the lessons we feel other organisers may particularly be able to learn from.
