Live Streaming in the 'New Normal'

Moderator: Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, VP & Editor-in-Chief, Streaming Media, US.

Panellists: Chris Dabbs, Independent Exec Producer, UK.
Larry Gale, Broadcast Producer & Director, UK.


Theatres and concert halls have been dark for months, but the hunger for shared cultural experience is stronger than ever. Live streaming has stepped in to fill the void with quarantine concerts, socially distanced dance parties, and all kinds of unforeseen ways to bring people together in the safety of their own homes. All of that has meant that "at home production" has, in many cases, literally become at-home production, creating both new opportunities and challenges for the teams tasked with delivering flawless live events to viewers across the world. On this panel, we'll talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of live streaming productions, both large and small in 2020 and beyond.
