Event organisers use the platform to host online events or convert existing live events into hybrids to enhance the delegate experience or generate new revenues. We combine the best of real time web technologies, live video streaming and social media. We work closely with global publishers including The Economist Group and William Reed Business Media across different event formats across the globe. Our approach is multi-disciplinary and we assist event marketeers, content programmers and delivery teams across the entire event life cycle. Commercialising the online audience requires a holistic view. I have extensive digital experience across a broad spectrum of projects. These have included designing and building large internal systems for the BBC and Reuters to major consumer facing projects for the likes of MTV and the EU. I have a deep knowledge of the streaming media industry and know a thing or two about codecs, content delivery networks, video players and digital video production workflows. Experience Founder Wavecast Pro Ltd June 2012 – Present (1 year 9 months)London, United Kingdom A Wavecast is a fusion of live video with a rich media activity feed which captures real time social dialogue, content, opinion and valuable feedback across a blended audience. Wavecasts can be used for next generation webinars, webcasts, (hybrid) conferences, lectures, and training sessions. Wavecasts allow you to engage with audiences beyond a single location before, during and after your event. They are a proven tool for extending your reach, amplifying key messages and capturing your event in a measurable fashion. They can also generate direct revenues through sales, sponsorship and pay-per-view models.
