Interviews & Panel Discussions

When capacity or location is a hindrance to to your event, interviews and panel discussions can be as effective when they are live streamed. Once all other elements of production are of a high standard, for example; sound and lighting, there’s very little difference to the viewers in the audience and the viewers tuning into your stream.
