Client Overview
The Vancouver Writers Fest is one of Canada’s most celebrated literary gatherings, bringing together authors, readers, and industry voices from around the world.
After a successful collaboration in 2024, StreamCity was once again invited to provide full AV and livestream production for the 2025 festival — ensuring a seamless hybrid experience for both in-person audiences and virtual participants.
Challenge
The festival featured multiple venues — including the Nest Theatre and Granville Island Stage — with a full week of author panels, discussions, and readings.
The challenge was to deliver consistent audio, video, and visual integration across both locations while maintaining the intimate, story-driven atmosphere the festival is known for.
Key priorities included:
• Reliable livestreaming across venues
• Multi-camera coverage for dynamic storytelling
• Integration of slides, videos, and presentations
• Clear, uninterrupted sound for both audiences and recordings
StreamCity’s Solution
StreamCity provided end-to-end technical direction and AV support, coordinating with festival organizers to streamline both in-person and hybrid elements.
Our setup included:
• Multi-camera coverage across both venues (ranging from 2–4 cameras per stage)
• Integrated PowerPoint and video playback for author presentations
• Dedicated AV technicians managing on-site switching and real-time monitoring
• Clear podium and audience mic management for seamless Q&A sessions
• Venue walkthroughs ahead of time to confirm lighting, layouts, and technical readiness
From setup to teardown, StreamCity ensured that every reading, discussion, and conversation was captured clearly and authentically — without distraction.
Outcome
The 2025 Vancouver Writers Fest once again expanded its reach through professional livestreaming and high-quality AV support.
Remote audiences were able to join in real time, while the in-person crowd experienced a flawless event flow.
StreamCity’s partnership helped the Writers Fest continue its mission to celebrate stories, amplify voices, and connect communities — both onstage and online.
