Conferences & Events

Before any live streaming project we always do a site visit to the venue to ensure that we get a good idea of the challenges of the space we'll be working in and to identify where we can best place our equipment and cameras as well as test the internet connectivity for speed and quality.

In most cases this visit is quite short (typically less than an hour). Where a physical site visit is not feasible due to distance or other factors we will aim to speak with the venues event coordinator and/or IT people either by telephone or email.

We never take on live streaming projects where we are asked to just "turn up on the day" and hope for the best.

Most live stream projects involve our team filming and streaming an event that would take place regardless of our involvement. That is, the event is not typically designed solely around the live stream component and as such live streaming is an "add on" designed to extend the live audience reach.

For this reason, audio visual elements such as projectors and PA Systems are generally provided by the venue or by a third party AV company. Our equipment is designed to easily integrate with the AV system already setup to support your event. We also have a range of specialised integration equipment such as video converters and audio mixing peripherals that we use to seamlessly integrate with external AV systems ensuring that any technical issues are dealt with quickly and without "throwing a spanner in the works".

There are a multitude of platforms that can be used to live stream video online these days and choosing the right one for your project is vital in ensuring everyone in your online audience has a great experience. In order to advise on the best platform we assess who your audience will likely be, what they'll most likely be using to access your live stream and what type of interaction will be offered.

In some instances it is also advisable to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously using a process called re-streaming.

Where online audience participation involves realtime question and answers we advise that a representative from your organisation be on hand to facilitate the management of this.

We can provide a laptop and assistance with setting this up and basic training on how to do this most effectively if needed.

Sometimes an event can last an entire day with multiple breaks between presentations.

While your physical conference or event attendees are sipping tea or having lunch your online audience can often feel disconnected. A great way to maintain engagement and keep your online attendees informed is to stream pre-recorded video content or a slideshow of information along with scheduling information for when the live video stream will recommence.

We can assist with the creation of this type of content pre-event and manage it's delivery during the event.

To ensure that your online attendees are aware of how to access the live stream or
pre-register interest in attending online we can provide a bespoke website for your event hosted on our LiveStream.net.au domain. Pre-event registration can be handled using our online booking system or via a simple online registration form. We can provide access to the list of registrations to you so that you can monitor and communicate with registrants.

As part of our live streaming service we also offer a custom website that your online attendees can visit to view and engage with your live video stream. The site can also be useful in providing scheduling information for presentations to be streamed as well as an online document library where they can access and download any digital material you may wish to distribute in support of the presentation.

The website is hosted by us on our dedicated web server located in Sydney and we also provide a custom web address: LiveStream.net.au/YourEventTitle

Once the event has concluded we can also provide a detailed report containing information about the number of online attendees and any other website activity that occurred during the live stream.

After you live stream event has been completed we can provide a video-on-demand hosted version of the video stream for attendees to watch again or people who were not able to  participate in the live event to watch post-event.

In some instances, it may also be pertinent to edit the live captured footage down to reduce it in length before provided it online in an ondemand format. Naturally, we can provide this editing service too.
