Webinar 4 - AV already makes event planners nervous... the word ‘virtual’ just made it a whole lot scarier!

with Andrew Delaney from Scene Change

  • Changing the Chain - Venues used to be the first thing event planners locked in, should we now be talking to an Audio Visual company as the first port of call? 
  • Event run sheets have changed, let’s explore how and why you should be thinking of your event as a ‘broadcast’ on live TV. 
  • How to feel relaxed and comfortable about taking your event virtual. 
  • I’ve been inundated with emails about hiring live studios, is this something I need to explore? 
  • Pre-recorded v’s live content. Should we be looking at a combination of both?
