Technical testing is very important. We recommend doing multiple tests of the technology to ensure there are no issues. Ideally, we do an initial test of the technology to make sure it works the way you envision it working, followed by testing the day before and finally a final test the day of the event to confirm that everything is still working as planned.
Have a backup plan.
Even if you test right up to the event start, there is always a slight chance something can hiccup, having a backup plan is vital.
At a time where in-person events are turning virtual, Live streaming is the new norm. I hope these tips help you feel more comfortable with running a live event.
