Some stills from the virtual conference running from our West London HQ this week.
This is one of a number of digital and hybrid events running concurrently over the next few days.
Digital Events have evolved at breakneck speed since the onset of the pandemic, as the whole industry has had to adapt to the new way of working.
We're seeing some truly exciting innovation and would love to show you more. Get in touch if you're planning an event would like advice about taking it online.

Live on set today, direct from First Network HQ!
We’ve been working on a 3-day hybrid event for a Global Investment Company client in our West London studio this week.
Today we filmed a TV style broadcast which was then streamed to to a virtual audience via our bespoke online interactive virtual event platform.
Live presenters on set were able to interact seamlessly with external guests who joined remotely.
With the current restrictions in the events industry, our virtual and hybrid solutions will deliver your online event in an engaging and professional way.
Give us a call on 020 8842 1222 to find out how we can help get your event online.
For this set-up we used a 10 m x 3m @absenled curved screen backdrop, a 4-camera set up @sonyhxc 100 production cameras with 2 on-camera prompting, #BarcoE2 Image Management, @yamahaproaudio digital audio board RYS hardwired and @clearcom wireless, @panasonicuk 450 vision mixer and @ajavideo recorders. Streaming and recording was by @VMixhd and lighting featured @avolitesltd Quartz

Fantastic Hybrid Virtual-Live Event at First Network this week. The event combined real-time presentations filmed professionally in our West London studios, with #Live-Streamed presentations and delegate participation.
We used #Vmix to stream to the clients preferred platform, #BarcoE2 for the on screen image management, and a curved high resolution @absenled backdrop with @novastartech 4k processing.
Presenters included #andrewmarr and @declancurry
The pandemic has been hugely restrictive for the events industry.
So it feels good to be delivering virtual solutions which enable us to continue to run events for our customers - albeit in a different format.

THIS is happening in our studio today!
It's the final leg of a 3-day event for a US-based mobile tech company. We're livestreaming 4 live broadcasts across 4 separate channels.
Our vMix virtual vision mixing platform allows us to deliver video playback, dynamic lower thirds and full branding.
Using vMix Calls software we can stream remote presenters easily and efficiently from any location whilst retaining full control over all visual and audio content.
Thanks to our studio's dedicated lease line we can ensure continuous and uninterrupted internet connectivity. #LiveU solo encoders send the stream to the world with automatic failover. This means we're not reliant on a single internet connection, offering additional peace of mind.
All streams are recorded so they can be published on demand for post event access.
The participants of this particular event are mainly based in the US. Presentations are a mixture of live and pre-recorded, with speakers dialling in from their own homes and offices.
We also offer studio facilities for the recording of presentations or live streaming with all the benefits of professional backdrops and the accompanying uplift in production values.
Alternatively we can send you a ‘fly pack’ kit which includes professional camera and mic equipment plus pop up green screen which can be easily installed at home to give a professional-looking set up absolutely anywhere.
We'd love to help get your next virtual event off the ground. Whatever you have in mind, we're confident we can deliver.
Give us a call to find out more.

#WeMakeEvents is an international movement to highlight that the live events sector urgently needs support from local governments to survive the Covid-19 crisis.
#WeMakeEvents is also the champion for all the people in the events industry, creating awareness and understanding of their threats and issues. As part of this, #WeMakeEvents raises money to give immediate support for the individuals, families and our industry charities.
Entertainment events around the world have been devastated, from major festivals, tours and landmark theatres, to grassroots venues and business events. Without major immediate support from national governments, the entire supply chain is at risk of collapse.
Stand as ONE alongside a growing collective of organisations, companies and freelancers to get our industry’s voice heard through creative action, social media and awareness events.
Join us on 30th September –
A day of global action
