American Regent Town Hall

Summary

We partnered with American Regent to deliver a large-scale hybrid employee town hall at their manufacturing facility in Altkirch, France. The event connected an in-person audience of 80-100 attendees with over 400 remote participants via Zoom, combining live presentations, audience interaction, and a high-quality opening film showcasing the site.

Context & Challenge

The event was designed as an outdoor town hall under a marquee, introducing several technical and logistical challenges. These included ensuring stable connectivity for a live broadcast in a non-traditional setting, supporting multiple presenters with presentation content, and delivering a smooth experience for both in-person and remote audiences.

Additional requirements included capturing aerial and b-roll footage of the facility ahead of the event, integrating this into the live programme, and providing real-time French translation for both English-speaking presenters and audience across physical and virtual environments. Ensuring accessibility and maintaining production quality at scale were key priorities.

Production Delivery

Our team conducted an advance site visit, capturing drone and b-roll footage of the facility, which was edited into a polished opening film to set the tone for the event. This also allowed for early technical planning and location assessment.

For the live event, we set-up a multi-camera production setup with full vision mixing, integrating presenter feeds, slides, and remote contributions into a broadcast. To overcome outdoor connectivity challenges, we established a stable network by routing fibre to an indoor access point.

The in-person experience was enhanced with eight plasma screens distributed throughout the marquee to ensure clear visibility of content. We delivered a hybrid audio and translation solution, including wireless headsets for live French translation on-site and integrated translation feeds for the online audience.

Rehearsals were conducted in advance to ensure presenter confidence and smooth delivery across all elements of the production.

Results

The event was delivered seamlessly, successfully connecting global teams through a unified hybrid experience. Both in-person and remote audiences were able to engage with the content clearly and interactively, supported by reliable streaming, high production values, and accessible translation services. The combination of pre-produced content, live production, and technical problem-solving resulted in a polished and engaging town hall that met all client objectives.
