Spotlight: Black Parent Initiative
The community celebrated the impactful work of Black Parent Initiative during the Community Blackout virtual event live streamed from the studio.
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.
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.
Host from your home, office, event venue or our live stream studio in Portland, Oregon, and we’ll live stream your virtual event to your online channel such as YouTube. You can also embed the video feed on your website or we can build a custom live stream landing page for you.
Complete Virtual Package: custom landing page; 30-minute pre-event content stream; live stream of the main event; optional chat feature; back-up live stream; and a link to download a recording of your event.
Your virtual event will be a high-value video production filmed in HD from The AV Department’s flexible studio in Portland, Oregon complete with lights, cameras, and microphones. The set includes preview monitors to view scripts and live web feeds (such as bidding and chat during the live stream) and backdrops such as our 16′ LED video wall, TVs, or pipe and drape.
Get creative and design your own custom set with props and decorations.
We will host your live stream on a custom landing page or coordinate with you and/or your IT manager to deliver the video feed to your online channel.
Complete In-Studio Virtual Package: live stream landing page; 30-minute pre-event content; high-value video production live stream from our studio; optional chat feature; back-up live stream; and a link to download a recording of your virtual event.
Host your live stream from a specific physical location related to your organization or the event and we’ll bring the studio to you. Stage lighting, audio and live stream equipment will be included and set-up at the location of your choice.

Complete On-Location Virtual Package: live stream landing page; 30-minute pre-event content; high-value video production live stream; optional chat feature; back-up live stream; and a link to download a recording of your virtual event.
Specific technical needs must be met for on-location live streaming including a fast and reliable dedicated internet line and direct communication with the on-site IT manager. The internet line must be free of upload restrictions and firewalls (often encountered in office buildings.)
Sufficient space for equipment and technical staff is required.
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.
