HWC Events & Rental

Audiovisual Partner of Event Organisers

These are two of the key points for which live streams stand. Your event can be broadcast across the entire world- this is more possible nowadays than it’s ever been. No more fuss with satellites and sky high bills. In order to live stream, you only need to use the internet in order to broadcast your event. From business events such as congresses and seminars to entertainment events with a band or a DJ performance. These are all more than possible with the live stream technology available to us today.

And not mutually exclusive. An offline event which is available online, or an online event with some physically present audience members. That’s what we refer to as a hybrid event. We have been working on events with an online component for a number of years. We now have enough experience to know exactly how to approach such events. Hybrid events have two different characters, both of which require equal care and attention. How do you go about setting up audio, video and lighting? Our project managers know exactly how to turn your hybrid events into a success story.

A combination of the words web and seminar. You got it- webinar! Basically, a webinar is nothing more than a seminar that takes place online. This allows large groups of participants, regardless of their geographical location, to watch presentations and readings on their own laptops. Webinars often involve a host, who acts as a moderator who is the link between the participants and the various guest speakers. Via online tools including chat, polls and Q&A, the audience members will be involved with the presentations, resulting in interaction. Are you looking for a reliable partner for a problem-free webinar? Feel free to contact us.

The goal of workshops is to gain expertise in a certain field or to be inspired by new ideas. Such online events often have a smaller-scale character than webinars. Webinars are often large and attended by many audience members, whereas online workshops often have a smaller number of attendees. A host and moderator are often unnecessary during online workshops. The speaker gives the presentation(s) as well as answering any audience questions and addressing the outcome of any polls. In order to take a load off the speaker’s shoulders, we are able to take on a number of audiovisual tasks which are necessary during online workshops. We don’t leave anything to chance and will make sure that the workshop is a great success which audience members will be speaking about long after the event is over!

These are often very complex events with many audience members, various speakers, subsessions, a convention floor and perhaps even networking drinks afterwards. Everything is about open discussion, and defending opinions in order to ensure a brighter future for all of us. These events can also take place online. Online and virtual conferences are taking place more and more often in event land. It’s possible to let online participants take part in specific programs with plenary and breakout sessions. And how about adding polling, Q&A functionality or a networking carrousel? It’s all possible- even online! These events are technically very challenging, and a good audiovisual partner is a must. Luckily, we are well-equipped to help you. We won’t bore you with all the technical terms. We will explain everything in layman’s terms, so that you know exactly what to expect.

Want to make use of your influence within a society or company? That’s possible at the yearly staff or board meeting. Can these meetings also be held online? Our answer to that question is yes, of course! By using cameras, PowerPoint presentations, polls and Q&A, you even have the possibility of audience participation. Want to let a participant take part in the broadcast? That’s also a possibility when hosting a meeting online. In short, there are plenty of possibilities available to you even when holding your yearly shareholders or members meeting online. Want to know more? Please contact us to discuss the possibilities.

Live, live, live. Nowadays it seems like every online event is live streamed. This is an option, of course, but it’s pretty stressful for the speakers. What if I make a mistake? Will I have to start again? There are plenty of reasons that recording a presentation or workshop is preferable. Image and audio in crystal clear quality. A bit of editing here and there, replacing the green screen background, ironing out an error or two, and decking the video out in your in-house style. All of that is possible in post production. After everything is done, you can simply ‘stream’ this video. You’d be surprised how many viewers are oblivious to the fact that you pre-recorded the session. Want to try it out? Let us know.

You’ve probably heard of podcasts. But are you familiar with videocasts, vodcasts and webcasts as well? They aren’t worlds apart- the differences are quite nuanced. A podcast consists only of audio, whereas videocasts and vodcasts also involve video. A webcast is live streamed rather than pre-recorded. Looking for a reliable partner to record and/or broadcast your audio and/or video in the highest quality? We are happy to serve. We can also provide you with gorgeous studios situated in leading hotels. Want to get to know us? Please contact us.

Is your event so popular that not everyone who wishes to attend will fit in your venue? Then perhaps making your event available online is a good option. This will allow everyone to enjoy the performance by their favourite DJ, artist or band. Providing viewers at home with a similar experience to what physically present audience members enjoy is a real art. We are happy to help you achieve these results. With the right cameras, lighting, audio equipment and technicians, we can ensure a flawless broadcast. Almost as if you were really there.
