LIVE STREAM YOUR VIRTUAL AND HYBRID EVENTS
Host your virtual event live stream from anywhere. Your engaging and successful virtual event can be produced entirely remote, broadcast from our Portland, Oregon, production studio or live streamed on-location. Hybrid events are streamed in front of an in-person audience and delivered online.
We live streamed more than 800 virtual and hybrid events between March 2020 and the end of 2022. Please scroll down for examples of each type: entirely virtual, in-studio, on-location, and hybrid.
Our Virtual Event Production Guide for 2023 is a helpful resource when considering your virtual event live stream production options.
Professional Live Stream Production Team
Our team is an extension of your team. You’ll have a dedicated production manager, director, and technical producer working together to ensure a high-quality webcast run like a live television show, broadcast in 1080p, and delivered to your audience online. During the live stream, the technical producer seamlessly transitions between live and recorded content, adding graphics, picture-in-picture, and web page captures.

Hybrid Events
Hybrid events bring online and in-person audiences together. You can host one audience on-site and provide a live stream for guests who are not able to attend. This is a great alternative for event planners who would like to capture the in-room atmosphere and excitement of the live event while reaching a larger online audience.
Options include welcoming a small group as a studio audience for an on-site live stream, or add a live stream component to your in-person event. Watch recent hybrid events below and read about three examples in our blog posts: Beyond the Horizon Gala, Screentime Drive-In Gala and Inspire Hope Event.
