We broadcast a 2,100-person wholesaler summit to 14 terminals with zero downtime.
WHAT THIS PROVES · PROCUREMENT DEPTH AND BROADCAST RELIABILITY. A Gulf Coast energy wholesaler brought us on twelve weeks out: head office and wholesaler partners in Houston, fourteen terminal sites across Texas and Louisiana, and the channel force that actually runs the margin watching live from the unit. The program ran three days on one feed, and the procurement paperwork was turned around before day one.

Every terminal had to feel like the main room, without the keynote dropping a frame when the CEO walked on.
Their summit had been in-person-only since they'd been running it, which meant two-thirds of the channel force, the terminal operators who actually run the margin, had never been in the room. Leadership wanted them in, without thinning the production for the 700 wholesaler partners who'd be sitting in front of the stage.
Three non-negotiables landed on the brief: every terminal feeds the same room the keynote does, the safety package survives a third-party audit, and the keynote doesn't drop a frame when the CEO walks on. None of those three are negotiable on day one of a three-day run.
The brief was simple: the same room everywhere, audit-proof paperwork, and a frame-perfect keynote.
- Every terminal feeds the same room the keynote does
- The safety package survives a third-party audit
- The keynote doesn't drop a frame when the CEO walks on
One Producer of Record called the show over three stacks of redundancy.
01 / SCENIC: we built a stage that read on camera as sharply as it did in the room. We rebuilt the scenic around a 38-foot curved LED wall with camera-safe content, pixel-matched flanking displays in every breakout ballroom, and identical lower-thirds across every feed. The terminal in Beaumont and the back row in Houston watched the same show, frame for frame.
02 / BROADCAST: we ran SRT-over-bonded-cellular to 14 terminal sites. Each of the fourteen receive sites ran two bonded-cellular routers as primary with wired SRT as failover, feeding redundant encoders in Houston, and mean end-to-end latency held under 1.2 seconds. Every remote crew was on a two-way producer comm, so a terminal in Lake Charles could raise its hand into the keynote Q&A like it was sitting in row four.
03 / SHOW CALLING: the Producer of Record called a fully rehearsed run of show. That means one senior producer, named on the contract, from intake call to measurement deck — and on show days, in comms with audio, video, lighting, scenic, and every remote terminal. The run was built on forty-one cue-sheets and three full technical rehearsals. When the CEO's mic battery died nine minutes into the opening, the backup was live inside nine seconds, and you cannot tell on the recording.
14 receive sites · latency under 1.2 seconds
A terminal in Lake Charles could raise its hand into the keynote Q&A as if it was sitting in row four. That’s what mean end-to-end latency under 1.2 seconds actually feels like in the room.
The redundancy ran three stacks deep, and we measured it to the frame.
The broadcast spine ran fourteen receive sites, with two bonded-cellular routers each as primary and wired SRT as failover, feeding redundant encoders in Houston. The scenic spine read identically across the room and the feed: a 38-foot curved LED wall, pixel-matched flanking displays in every breakout ballroom, and identical lower-thirds across every output.
The show-calling spine was the Producer of Record in comms with every department and every remote terminal, backed by forty-one cue-sheets and three full technical rehearsals. The nine-second mic failover wasn't improvised; it was the rehearsed path, and the recording shows no seam.
2,100 on-site. 14 sites live. 0 minutes of downtime.
The show ran three days on one feed, redundant at every layer. The keynote did not drop a frame when the CEO walked on.
Flown loads ran through the venue’s rigging process and the crew was badged before load-in.
The audit-grade paperwork was in procurement’s hands the same day they asked, and every crew member cleared the client’s badging process before the window opened. The full EHS walkthrough was on file with procurement forty-eight hours before load-in, in the format their auditor reads.
The audit-grade paperwork was on file before load-in.
- Audit-grade paperwork in procurement’s hands the same day they asked
- Full EHS walkthrough on file with procurement two business days before load-in
Attendance set a record, production incidents stayed at zero, and a three-year renewal was signed inside ten business days.
The summit hit a record 2,100 on-site, with live participation from every terminal site for the first time. Post-event sponsor satisfaction landed at 9.6 / 10. The client signed a three-year production retainer inside ten business days, and routed two adjacent business units to us before the quarter closed.
They produced our annual wholesaler summit for 2,100 people across 14 sites with zero downtime. Our CEO asked who produced it before he walked off stage.
For years the summit was in-person-only. Now one feed reaches every terminal.
Two-thirds of the channel force had never been in the room.
The summit had been in-person-only since they'd been running it. The terminal operators who actually run the margin watched a recap after the fact, if at all. Leadership wanted them in, without thinning the production for the 700 wholesaler partners in front of the stage.
One feed reached 14 terminals, frame-matched to the main room.
SRT-over-bonded-cellular reached 14 receive sites, redundant at every layer, with mean latency under 1.2 seconds. Every remote crew sat on a two-way producer comm. A record 2,100 attended on-site, with live participation from every terminal site for the first time.
