Happily Broadcast Studio: Reimagining the Stage for VC Platform Global Summit 2023
Channel: Team Happily
Date: 2023-06-06

The Happily Broadcast Studio convinced the event committee to take a bold approach by ditching the traditional stage setup and opting for a captivating ‘Theatre in the Round’ concept in the Grand Hall, marking a pivotal highlight of the production. This innovative decision created a dramatic focal point with the stage at the center. As we like to think of it, Happily brought a literal platform to VC Platform and made that the focal point. Speakers were able to freely move around, facilitating intimate conversations among panelists, and provided an enveloping experience with an immersive 360° view complemented by The Ribbon. By embracing the 'Theatre in the Round' concept, we fostered a strong sense of community among the audience as they faced each other and actively engaged with those around them, breaking away from the traditional stage-facing-audience setup. Embracing the bold and unconventional 'Theatre in the Round' concept aligned with our guiding principles for this community.

To elevate the viewing experience across different areas, our Broadcast Team implemented a strategic approach using video feeds from the Grand Hall. These video feeds served three purposes: providing alternate angles of the round stage on ‘The Ribbon’, displaying content on screens in overflow spaces within the venue, and enabling remote viewing through a dedicated webstream. By leveraging the remote controlled cameras available at the Convene venue, we successfully maximized seating capacity while eliminating the need for floor camera operators. Throughout the process, our Broadcast Studio kept the guiding principle of prioritizing the onsite experience for attendees at the forefront of all decision-making.
