The Institute for Government is the UK’s leading independent think tank working to make government more effective.
The Institute for Government sought to expand its event program beyond London by hosting a series of panel discussions across key UK cities: Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham, Newcastle, and Birmingham. These events focused on regional devolution, bringing together policymakers and experts to share insights with both local audiences and a wider online viewership.
Event AV production with livestreaming for a plethora of media driven presentations and discussions
For each event a high-quality, audio-visual and livestreaming solution was required to ensure a professional experience for both in-person and remote attendees.
The event format included keynote presentations featuring slides and pre-produced video content, followed by a panel discussion with five speakers and an interactive Q&A session.
Key requirements included:

Multi-Camera Video Production
Three-camera setups enabled dynamic live switching between wide shots and close-ups, capturing key moments and speaker interactions to create an engaging viewing experience.
Enhanced Visual Quality
