    UDI: The Rennie Outlook With Andrew Ramlo

    OBJECTIVES

    UDI was looking to provide their members an option for in-person or virtual attendance.

    SOLUTIONS

    Second Narrows provided a multi-camera solution to capture the keynote speaker for close up & wide shots. A full run through of technology was conducted beforehand to ensure the comfortability of the presenter.

    BENEFITS

    Benefits One

    Hybrid events allow you to increase your reach and gain more attendees, not fewer. Nearly 98% of attendees at a hybrid event were not planning to attend live, meaning your event can reach a new audience that is either uninterested in or unsure of the benefits of attending a live event.

    Benefits Two

    72% of corporate sponsors are interested in participating in a hybrid event, as long as they can effectively reach both audiences because hybrid events are extremely valuable for sponsors

    Benefits Three

    A virtual element to your live event provides many more engagement opportunities than a strictly live event, both during and after the event.

    Complimentary Internet

    As an outside supplier, in-house AV companies will try and charge an outside fee for internet charges as part of their bundling tactic to make it hard for other companies to operate within their facilities. This can range from $2,000-$10,000 in penalty fee's. Our team is able to provide high speed hard-line internet connection to provide value to our clients.

    Brand Experience

    Brand experience is the lasting impression that a company creates with their customer or the general public and how the brand affects their feelings and behavior. Our team helps elevate your brand with custom graphics at the podium to custom lighting for first impressions.
