If you're planning a press conference, campaign launch, or public event in Vancouver, you're not just managing logistics — you're managing public perception.
Your message matters. But whether it lands the way you want depends a lot on how it’s delivered.
And that’s where your AV strategy makes or breaks your reach.
The Visibility Game Has Changed
Public events today don’t end when the mic drops.
They’re:
• Livestreamed to remote audiences.
• Rewatched by journalists and stakeholders.
• Clipped for social media.
• Shared in newsletters, recaps, and funder reports.
So, ask yourself:
Does your current AV setup support the visibility your event actually needs?
For many organizations in Greater Vancouver, the answer is no — not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because they’re using AV setups built for the room, not the wider audience.
A Basic Livestream Won’t Cut It
We’ve seen it plenty of times:
A good cause, an important message — but all anyone online sees is a shaky webcam and muffled audio.
Here’s what’s often missing from basic setups:
• Multi-camera angles to capture the room, speaker, and audience.
• High-quality audio for both the venue and the livestream.
• Reliable internet and stream stability.
• Clean press feeds for reporters and media outlets.
• Post-event recordings that can actually be used.
If your team is doing all the right work — but your message still gets lost in the delivery — this is usually why.
What a Broadcast-Level Setup Delivers
At StreamCity, we support public-facing events across Vancouver with AV production that goes beyond “good enough."
Here’s what that looks like:
✅ Multi-camera livestreaming that looks polished on every platform
✅ Live switching and recording so your event is ready for replay the same day
✅ Sound reinforcement for in-room clarity and remote audiences
✅ Press audio feeds for up to 20 journalists
✅ Remote Q&A capabilities so you can engage beyond the room
This isn’t about over-producing. It’s about delivering your message with the clarity and credibility it deserves.
A Real-World Example (Right Here in Vancouver)
Let’s say you’re organizing a press conference downtown — 50 people in the room, a few speakers, and a new digital campaign you’re launching province-wide.
You want:
• Reporters to cover it.
• Stakeholders to watch it live.
• The recording ready to go that same afternoon.
• Maybe even a few questions from remote voices across BC.
We recently supported exactly that kind of event in the heart of Vancouver.
With multi-camera coverage, clean audio, and an HD recording delivered within hours, the campaign gained immediate traction — and organizers had content they could actually use beyond the event.
Why Vancouver Clients Are Shifting to This Approach
Whether you're based in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, or Surrey — public-facing events are more visible now than ever. That visibility is an opportunity.
But it only works when:
• The livestream doesn’t lag.
• The sound is clear for both the room and online.
• The footage can be clipped, reused, and shared with confidence.
That’s why we work with nonprofits, government teams, and comms leads across Metro Vancouver to help elevate the impact of the moments they work so hard to create.
Questions Worth Asking
If you're planning a public event in Vancouver, ask yourself:
• Will anyone need to rewatch this?
• Will media be attending or covering it later?
• Do we need a recording to send to funders or partners?
• Do we want to involve remote voices during Q&A?
If the answer is yes to any of the above — then yes, you need more than a basic setup.
Final Thoughts
There’s no second take on a live event. But there is a way to make sure your message lasts longer than the hour it's delivered.
If your team is planning a press conference or advocacy event in Vancouver, we’d love to support you with the multi-camera livestreaming, AV production, and post-event delivery that turns your moment into a long-term asset.
Because good AV doesn’t just help your event run smoothly — it helps it matter longer.
