From studio to stream

Because we take care of conference formats for over 40 years, we know the important details. Thus, our virtual, digital and hybrid conference formats benefit from this fact.

We integrate all strengths of digital platforms and know the requirements of physical participants. The result: more format, more involvement, superior run-downs, broadcast-ready premium direction, reliable project management and finally: a real benefit for all participants – on stage, on the studio, in the panel and first and foremost in front of the screens.
