January Update: Live Streaming

Happy New Year from The AV Company!

As we begin the new year, we are looking at ways to help our clients reach wider audiences. One such tool that we often make use of is live streaming. Live streaming is great for connecting audiences, be they participants who cannot make it to your conference or friends who cannot make it to your wedding. In addition, it enables you to easily archive your event footage so that it can be accessed at a later time or distributed for training purposes.

Live streaming also allows you a whole new system for structuring your event! For example: Need to get a message out to a large group, but cannot physically get everyone in one place at one time? The solution might be to rent a space, create a set (see below), and broadcast your presentation directly to your target audience! All the participants have to do is follow a link to our online live stream platform whenever it is convenient for them, and they'll instantly be able to engage with your event!

Transformation Tuesday: Virginia Film Festival Wrap Party

Greetings from The AV Company

Welcome to our seventh installment in our Transformation Tuesday series! This month, we thought we'd share with you our work for the Virginia Film Festival's Late Night Wrap Party! The party was held at the Main Street Arena last month, and our goal with this event was to capture the fresh, energetic spirit that encompassed all of the events surrounding the festival.

Take a look at how we transformed the arena using our custom chandelier clusters, a fabric divider, and some fun lighting and projection content!

5 Ways Classrooms Can Use Videoconferencing

According to this great article from Mashable, there are 5 key ways that classrooms can use Videoconferencing-

1. To connect with experts (face to face and in real-time)
2. Virtual field trips (no transportation, no food to plan for, and no missing kids)
3. Working together (students can collaborate with students in other states on projects)
4. Accessing previously unavailable courses (great for rural areas or places who do not have teachers for certain subjects)
5. Teaching the teachers (great for keeping up with professional development hours)
