Virtual Event Production at the Rabbit Room

Recently we were honored to spend two days in virtual event production in the beautiful new home of The Rabbit Room, the North Wind Manor in Nashville, Tennessee. The Rabbit Room fosters Christ-centered community and spiritual formation through music, story, and art. North Wind Manor is a multi-use facility. It is used for writing groups, lectures, symposiums, concerts, and feasting.

2020 Hutchmoot: Homebound

We spent two days prerecording content for their annual Hutchmoot conference, a traditionally in-person event. This year we are teaming with them to produce the event 2020 Hutchmoot: Homebound virtually. This multi-day virtual event features a variety of virtual content. This content includes music, keynote addresses. As well as sessions on art, music, and story from a variety of speakers.

One of the benefits of our virtual event production work is the amazing speakers and the music that are a blessing to hear. These days were no exception. We spent the days pre-recording a combination of inspirational music and thought-provoking speakers. Streaming these recordings coupled with a live host will comprise the multi-day hybrid event. Pre-recording content during virtual event production, when possible, allows us to edit and add graphics. It also gives our clients the opportunity to focus their message. As well, it takes pressure off the event days.

While streaming the virtual event from North Wind Manor in October a live host will guide the online audience through the event. This keeps the day moving seamlessly and helps to engage the attendees. This also allows for site-to-site interaction and live Q and A with the attendees. As well it makes real-time audience polling possible. It has been rewarding for our team to use our virtual event production expertise to help our clients continue to hold their events during this time when in person events are not possible.

It’s important to engage your audience during a virtual corporate event. Unlike in-person events, virtual events provide attendees with more opportunities to “zone out.”  They are already on the computer and distraction is only a click away. A Virtual Corporate Event Production Professional like Stonebrook Media can create virtual events that are more than just attendees watching a screen.

We Can Create Compelling Content

When your conference is virtual, there is more pressure on your content to be compelling. Rethinking traditional Power Point presentations is critical. Stonebrook produces state-of-the-art visual presentations. We also create videos that entertain while getting your message across.

We Provide Excellent Production Quality

Production quality is one of the many ways to engage your audience during a virtual corporate conference. That’s where Stonebrook’s experience comes in handy. For instance, we can provide a video wall which allows for a visually compelling, branded set. Likewise, professional cameras used with a lightning design add a polished look you can’t get from a computer camera. Also, our professionally produced graphics along with great video quality are more likely to keep your attendee’s attention.

We Can Facilitate Live Polling

Live polling is a great way to keep your attendees involved during your virtual corporate event. Firstly, it allows for your presenters to tailor their presentations based on responses. This makes for a more captivating experience for your attendees. Secondly, live polls can also provide data on participation and session engagement.

We Can Facilitate Live Q&A

Attendees ability to ask questions of the presenters during the session is key to engagement. If you’re offering intriguing content, attendees will have questions and want answers. Stonebrook can provide the ability for that interaction. Q&A also allows for attendees to interact with panel discussions and is vital way to engage your audience during a virtual conference.

We Can Facilitate Live Chat

Continuing to provide networking opportunities during a virtual conference is a challenge. One way to help attendees connect with each other is live chat. In addition, live chat helps to build community. It also allows attendees to feel more invested in your event.

In conclusion, Stonebrook Media can provide multiple ways to engage your audience during a virtual conference. Contact us today to find out how!

Virtual corporate events have become a necessity since we can no longer produce in-person events. We are discovering the pros of hosting events virtually. When planned correctly, virtual events have some advantages over live events.

Allows for a larger audience

Hosting virtual corporate events makes them accessible to a larger audience. Anyone you provide with the online link can attend the event from anywhere – even from another country! People who might not be able to travel to your live event can still take advantage of the content.

They are less expensive

Virtual events are less expensive. You don’t have the added costs of travel, food and beverage, and venue, just to name a few. Focus your budget on innovative ways to connect with your audience.

You can fine tune presentations

We can create and pre-record content to stream during your event. Since presenters do not have to present live, presentations can be edited and the message fine tuned in advance.This gives you greater control over the message you present to your team members.

Traditional event tools are still available

Many of the same tools used at in-person events are still available. Q & A sessions allow your speakers to connect with your team members. Interactive polls engage your audience and help them feel more connected with your event. There are also new options to help increase engagement as well. For instance, live chat lends the opportunity for your attendees to continue to network with one another during and following presentations.

The event content is still available after the event

Because we record virtual corporate events, it’s possible to repurpose content for use in the future. You can choose to make the content available for your team to watch later. This increases the virtual events long-term value and provides more bang for your buck.

While we all look forward to the time when we can meet in person again, Stonebrook Media will help you take advantage of all the pros of hosting events virtually until that time comes. Have questions? Contact us for a free consultation about your event needs:

Virtual Hybrid Event Production

Virtual Hybrid Event Production has become a necessity during the current time. Therefore, you must rethink how you produce your events. With the right production partner to handle pre-planning and your technology needs, you can produce a virtual event that is every bit as exciting as a live one.

New Opportunities for Your Event 

Rethinking how you produce events opens up new possibilities. A virtual event creates the opportunity to reach a wider audience. It allows you to consider guest speakers who might not be able to available or affordable in person. In addition, with virtual hybrid event production you can pre-record segments to stream out during your virtual event. This also takes the pressure off day of logistics.

Start with a Great Host

Having a great host is important for a virtual event. They can keep things moving and vamp if it becomes necessary to work around connectivity issues or technology glitches. Also, having someone calm, engaging, and knowledgeable steering the conversations and providing transitions between elements is key.

As well, the right host can be the guiding voice throughout the event. They can give out important information, introduce new speakers and make announcements. Also, having a host in charge helps bring life to your event, helping to entertain and engage attendees.

Use the Right Mix for Your Virtual Event

Using a mix of pre-recorded content and live streaming for your virtual event is key. This gives you more control over your content allowing for editing, reshooting, or redesigning. Likewise, you can take advantage of the live platform to generate interaction with attendees with live polling, question and answer sessions, and remote site check-ins. You can even engage your audience with contests or live raffles.

In conclusion, working with an experienced production partner that can handle technology infrastructure, scheduling the event, and producing both live and pre-recorded segments can enable you to successfully transition your live event to a virtual event that will be engaging, informative, and entertaining. Stonebrook Media has the experience and know-how to help you produce an event you can be proud of.

We recently faced the challenge of taking a traditionally live show virtual. Our long time partners, Tokens Show, trusted us to produce their first ever virtual show. We live streamed both music and interview content. Their followers had rave reviews like this one: “It was so good to be able to tune in to Tokens earlier tonight. You all did a great job of creating another meaningful time to listen, to laugh, and to cry.”

A video wall is an innovative, as well as versatile, way to tell your story. We created this graphic for the Hunt Brothers Pizza 2019 Christmas Celebration. The wall also gave us the opportunity to tailor a look for each segment of the event. Including a cozy living room to welcome the guests, transitioning into a snowy, outdoor scene. Santa even made an occasional appearance.
