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.

Making your future events more sustainable

Governments and organisations worldwide have made it clear that we need to reduce our carbon impact on the planet drastically.

9 interactive tools to help your event speakers to shine

For interactive and hybrid events, it’s crucial that speakers persuade their audience to stay for their entire session.
