Virtual Events & Hybrid Events with Talon AV

Virtual Events - In Studio, or Remotely Online

Talon has been working in the teleconference and live stream space for over a decade. For 10+ years we’ve offered our clients remote participation options for their attendees and live streamed their events. Talon offers both onsite and in-studio production, with or without an in-person audience.

For many of our clients, we also produce fully remote events, with crew, presenters, and staff in separate locations. Using video conferencing, standard broadcast technologies, and proprietary cloud-based video production workflows, we can execute complex video productions with lean, fully remote crews. We can also engineer studio workflows in our physical control room locations, or bring the control room and equipment to your location to ensure safe in person support.

Case Study: Virtual Developer Conference

 

When Google calls, and wants help taking Google I/O, their flagship developer conference, online you’d better be ready to say yes. Luckily, with years of experience producing web broadcasts of Google’s in-person and virtual Developer Summits and Conferences, we had what it takes. Talon provided system design, stream engineering, and accessibility management for the 2021 virtual event.

 

Case Study: Fully Remote Virtual Music Festival

 

Mutek is an internationally renowned electronic music and digital arts organization that hosts annual festivals in cities globally. The relatively new Mutek San Francisco chapter was faced with a challenge for their 3rd annual festival in May 2020: In the face of Covid-19 should they cancel, or find a way to translate an engaging, creative community festival to a virtual event?

In mid May, the staff at Veloz, a nonprofit organization focused on electrifying transportation in California, came to me with a challenge. Their July member meeting, scheduled to be an in-person round table in Downtown Los Angeles, was going to be impacted by COVID-19 travel restrictions. Like most event planners, they wondered how to take the meeting online. The conference involved 50 members around a table discussing state policy, industry marketing, and increasing member investment. How would we move it to an online format while maintaining the networking, conversation and attendee engagement of the in-person meeting? How could we make members feel valued and invested in the organization without being with them in person?

 

Case Study: Presenting the Class of 2020 (Virtually)

 

When Da Vinci approached Talon to reimagine their graduation as an online event, we knew their event needed more than a pre-recorded video or a teleconference link. Working with school administrators and district officials, we got permission to build a studio in a classroom and broadcast their event live from the high school campus. Over June 10th and 11th, we transformed the media classroom into a studio positioned to preserve safe social distancing
