Why lighting is paramount for remote speakers

Putting your remote speakers in the frame
Framing may often seem like a subtle and secondary consideration for speakers, as it’s more important to hear and see the speaker first. However, if a screen is too low or too high, it can be difficult for the audience to engage with someone who isn’t looking directly at them.

Why we should retain hybrid events
In the past few months, many events have been returning to a purely physical approach, removing the virtual experience and all that events teams and attendees gained from having an online element to a congress or conference.
