Broadcast AV Power Hour: Contingency Plans for Streaming

This session is designed to enhance and develop your proactive problem-solving skills, focusing on improving crisis management strategies and creating comprehensive plans to minimize the impact of disruptions. We will cover essential topics such as defining a realistic budget and establishing a contingency planning team that incorporates members of the overall team. The plan we develop will act as a critical guide, prioritizing contingencies to help streamers adapt and respond promptly. Our goal is to minimize disruptions, maintain safety, and ensure the stream’s successful execution regardless of the challenges faced.

Join the November Power Hour to:

  • Identify key risks, roles, resources, and budget considerations needed to develop an effective contingency plan for live streaming operations.

  • Prioritize contingency procedures that support AV system operation, crisis response, safety, and continuity when streaming disruptions occur.

  • Apply troubleshooting and support strategies to maintain stream reliability, communicate response steps, and minimize operational impact during technical or logistical failures.

Investments in streaming media are expected to increase in the post COVID-19 world and the proliferation of audiovisual content is driving demand for video services, according to AVIXA’s IOTA report. Corporate live events producers and video production service providers can get the latest on key trends and technologies for AV content creation and distribution in AVIXA’s monthly Broadcast AV Power Hour.
