Hybrid Livestream & AV Support for Vancouver Writers Fest 2025

Live streaming & av support for writers fest in vancouver

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.
