Latest Technology for Audio Visual Recording and Media Formats for events

In recent years, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, event Companies have been forced to adopt a remote-first approach to conferences and similar events.

For many, the transition from live events to digital events was a steep learning curve. Fortunately for Comtec they were able to draw on their many years of doing Live events via Satellite. Obviously the software as an interface was different and had to be explored and learnt, however the transition between a satellite truck and a fibre link was easy.

However, thanks to major advances in audio-visual technology, promoters have the resources to deliver a similar experience that you might receive if you were actually at a live event. This approach has extended to other industries as well, including music .

“With large gatherings limited during the Coronavirus pandemic, artists are experimenting with new ways to perform, and some of these shows are already attracting millions of fans globally,”

“The pandemic has fuelled other innovations like multiplayer video game concerts. On April 23, more than 12 million Fortnite players attended Travis Scott’s 10-minute virtual performance. Comtec alone regularly put out events around this period to Large scale audiences including sitting them at tables of ten so they could network privately before being let into the main event. While the future of live events remained uncertain for a little as we continued to navigate a post-virus world, digital events will continued to shape the way consumers engage, interact, and consume live content.

Personally, I think we have seen in-person events make a big comeback but I think virtual and hybrid events are likely here to stay for a number of reasons. For example, bigger audiences can be reached at a lower cost and climate change is going to continue to make people reconsider non-essential travel.
