Getting the best Video out of your Conference or Seminar
When you have invested so much time and effort in a conference or seminar, particularly if high profile speakers have come from overseas or if many of your potential audience are unable to attend, it’s quite normal to want to create a video record of the event.
A 2-day conference or seminar will contain between 12 and 16 hours of presentations. Ask yourself though will anybody want to watch a video of even half that length?
The dynamic of a conference or seminar is completely different to that of a video.
I’m going to share with you my experience from filming and attending an untold number of conferences and seminars.

Conference planning
Here at A1 Conference Video Production we encourage you to start by asking yourself what you want out of this video.
- Not all parts of the conference are as important so pinpoint speeches or sessions you want filming
will different sections of the audience be interested in different parts of the conference or seminar?
- Where will the video be used …Online, DVD, Publicity Brochure
what are the key messages from the conference or seminar?
How is the video going to distributed
A1 Conference Video Production can then help you devise a approach for your conference or seminar video that will succeed.
What is the sound like? Are there any roadwork’s going on outside?
Day of the event/seminar
A1 Conference Video Production will always take a minimum of 2 cameras, synced up. Any less and the video would become very boring very quickly.
if the conference or seminar is illustrated with Powerpoint or Keynote slides or a software demo, we would capture that separately, using a screen-grab application such as Camtasia. This will provide better quality than shooting the screen at the event.
Do you need any media producing for the conference? We can produce promotional videos, video messages from distant speakers, video graphics and anything else you may require. Feel free to talk to us about your needs.
After the event

Once it’s all captured we have an experienced team of editors to get it to you as quickly as possible. We can provide you with an MP4 rough cut for approval then we add titles, voiceover links and any other elements you require.
We can also organise for duplication should you need it.
Need extra copies? Not a problem
