Conference FAQ

Questions that affect rooms, cameras and files.

Can every session be recorded?

List every required session and any overlaps. Multi-room capacity remains subject to a confirmed crew and technical scope.

How many cameras are needed for a keynote or panel?

The answer depends on the required speaker coverage, wide view, slides and edit. No camera count is assumed before those outputs are known.

Can slides appear in the final video?

Tell Sam if viewers need to see the slides alongside the speaker. Supplied slide files, a direct venue feed and a filmed screen need different preparation. Share what your venue can provide, or its AV contact, so the approach can be agreed before filming.

How are audience questions captured?

Questions need to be audible in the recording as well as in the room. Share how audience microphones are being handled so the recording source and sound check can be agreed with the venue AV team.

Can breakout rooms be covered?

Include the complete room list and concurrent timetable so the practical coverage requirement can be assessed.

Can the conference be streamed and recorded?

Live streaming and local recording should be requested as separate outputs and verified in the technical scope.

Conference enquiry

Share the program so rooms, cameras and session recordings can be planned together.

Send the date, venue and the sessions you want people to watch afterwards. Include a run sheet or AV contact if you already have one.
