Coastal Futures Hybrid Conferences

Custom Microsite | High SliDo Engagement | High Camera Production Value

Context & Challenge

The Coastal Futures Conference required a production approach that could match the prestige and quality of an in-person event while delivering an engaging experience for a large remote audience.

Key challenges included:

Bridging the gap between in-room energy and online engagement
Managing complex session formats including panels and presentations
Delivering a secure, branded, and user-friendly online viewing environment

Production Delivery

We delivered a smoothly executed hybrid broadcast, combining robotic cameras for wide shots and audience coverage with an operated camera for dynamic panel angles. The live stream featured picture-in-picture presentations, integrated audience interaction, sponsor videos, and branded graphics.

To enhance the online experience, we created a custom microsite providing secure access, live streaming, event information, and sponsor visibility, offering a refined alternative to standard platforms like Zoom or Teams.

Results

The Coastal Futures Conference was delivered as a polished, broadcast-quality hybrid experience. Both in-person and online audiences were fully engaged throughout the two days, enjoying a stream that matched the quality and professionalism of the live event. The custom microsite enhanced the digital experience, providing easy access, lots of interaction, and sponsor visibility, ensuring the online audience felt as connected as those in the room.

“The team from GLO were excellent to work with from beginning to end. They were fast to respond to our queries at the start, had many helpful pre-event meetings with the team and were slick and discrete during the event. Many who attended our event online commented on how good the event was online for them. Highly recommend!”
