SA: Ticketpro Dome launches livestreaming and virtual event platform

The platform provides a studio that delivers a fully integrated solution with a stage, lighting, sound, LED screen and cameramen. The Hybrid Studio is available to book and use within 24 hours.

Booking options include no physical audience, or a live audience with a maximum of 250, maintaining COVID-19 protocols. The venue can cater to multiple room layouts, from cinema to a round table banquet set up. The Ticketpro Dome team will create a bespoke solution, including costs and other special requirements, according to the client’s brief.

“We can live stream to innumerable delegates who only need a stable internet connection to be able to participate,” Portfolio director of venues Cynthia Penprase said.

Penprase says the company is extremely proud to have created an offering for the live events industry unmatched for its combination of safety and engagement.

She added: “This year has catapulted the events industry to rapidly reinvent itself to comply with the ban of crowds gathering. Virtual event platforms have become a must for businesses aiming to create as similar an experience as possible to a live event. We have sourced the best in global technology to deliver all the excitement and participation of a live event plus the virtual component that places the audience in the middle of the action.

“Importantly, the Hybrid Studio allows audience engagement through live polls, surveys and audience commentary on the subject matter and we have the facility to vet comments to mitigate the ever-present online trolls and bots.”

Some of the benefits of hosting a virtual event will include not being restricted to a venue capacity or physical Covid-19 compliance. Additionally, the platform allows for sponsorship opportunities, with dedicated pages offered to showcase the sponsors. To measure return on investment, the Hybrid Studio system gathers data on all points of engagement, allowing clients to improve their future content.
