Virtual Events & Hybrid Events with Talon AV

Virtual & Hybrid Events - Onsite, In Studio, or Online

Talon has been working in the teleconference and live stream space for over a decade. For 10+ years we’ve offered our clients hybrid and 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 full onsite teams or lean, fully remote crews. We can also engineer studio workflows fully remotely with techs and teams offsite, in a central location from our partnered physical control room locations, or bring the control room and equipment to your location to ensure reliable in-person support.

Case Study: Hybrid User Conference for Design-First Firm

In the Fall of 2024, a leading tech company hosted its first in-person conference at San Francisco’s Pier 27, blending on-site and virtual experiences via the GoldCast platform. Working with our agency partners, Talon AV led the technical team across departments and vendors to make sure every technical detail was spot-on.


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?
