Why our event was successful. The first was the high-quality video production.<\/p>\n
For the event, we hired a vendor, HypeCats Video Producers. Ahead of time, they shipped us equipment for the Tahoe venue that they remotely controlled. Equipment included a high-performing laptop, top-of-the-line optical zoom PTZ video camera, professional microphone, and lots of connecting wires. They worked with us prior to the event to set up the equipment in the Tahoe venue. Their equipment connected with the 65 inch TV screen at the venue.<\/p>\n
During the event they directed the video feeds, from their production studio, to produce a seamless show that was a great experience for our Presenters on Zoom and for us in the Tahoe venue. It was like a national news show. They decided when to go with which of the multiple video feeds including; single speaker camera, speaker\u2019s slides, multiple speakers in a panel discussion, and added graphics, logos, animation, digital environments all so the audience on the zoom and in Tahoe could have a great experience.\u00a0<\/span>Our Presenters sent their slide decks to the production team who seamlessly published the slides during the presentation. Our presenters were able to remotely advance their slides from a simple phone app.<\/span><\/p>\nThis didn\u2019t feel like a regular zoom meeting, because it wasn’t. They remotely controlled the video camera in Tahoe, zooming in and out on us in a way that presented us well which was key for the Q&A portion of the blocks and allowed for us all to not be on our computers on separate zoom calls. It was the perfect blend of a live event in Tahoe (no Zoom) with virtual guests being presented through professional TV production software.<\/p>\n
They recorded our speakers\u2019 presentations, producing these high-definition quality videos (not compressed video if we recorded over zoom). This setup only necessitated having a simple Zoom account for our Presenters to log on to. HypeCats Video Producers proved extremely successful. This format could be successfully implemented in the future for similar gatherings.<\/p>\n

Mark \u2013 just wanted to drop a note to thank you so much for including us in the forum. We\u2019ve had some great discussions with the groups we matched with. I can tell you, unequivocally, that this was the best virtual forum we\u2019ve done. Efficient, engaged and interactive discussions, and\u2026no issues at all on the tech front!!<\/p>\n

Thank you for reaching out.\u00a0 I am delighted to recommend the\u00a0Ameravant\/Hypecats for their webinar work.<\/p>\n
First, let me say that we used them\u00a0in October and then turned around and hired them for our second symposium this month. I think that speaks to our satisfaction considering that the\u00a0cost the\u00a0second time around is twice the amount.<\/p>\n
Also, I will add that they give you deadlines and remind and encourage you each step of the way.\u00a0 The first time around, we contacted them very late in the process.\u00a0 We had rescheduled from March 2020 to October 2020 with hopes that we could host a live event.\u00a0 In September, we determined that we could not, and I reached out to Michael Kramer.\u00a0 We put together a 2-day seminar with concurrent sessions.\u00a0 There were some minor glitches, but it did not affect the quality of the symposium.<\/p>\n
One thing I want to emphasize is the\u00a0importance of your speakers doing the tech check prior to the event.\u00a0 Most of our speakers are corporate leaders in the\u00a0insurance industry. They are very familiar with virtual webinars; however, they graciously agreed to the tech check.\u00a0 To the person, they all expressed their appreciation and said that no one had prepared them so thoroughly.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t until the\u00a0day of the webinar last fall, that I caught on to the\u00a0fact that the speakers were in one webinar and the audience in the other webinar.\u00a0 The speaker webinar runs through the production aspect and is then fed to the audience.<\/p>\n
Our webinar is scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday (March 24-25).\u00a0 If you would like for me to send you the link, I would be happy for you and any members of your committee to observe some of the sessions.\u00a0 Just let me know.<\/p>\n
I hope that this information has been helpful.\u00a0 If you need anything further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.<\/p>\n

Dear Michael.<\/p>\n
Thanks so much for your understanding and patience.<\/p>\n
The MLKSB Board of Directors was pleased with the outcome of the 2021 MLKSB virtual celebration produced by HypeCats.<\/p>\n
The idea of having the presentation done as both a photo essay, along with videos covering fourteen years was quite a task, but the overall outcome was well worth the effort that went into the production of the program.<\/p>\n
It was a joy working with Shawn Baughcr and Scott Topper, particularly in learning more about aspects of being on camera.\u00a01 hope that we can again work together on future events.<\/p>\n
