Recap film vs livestream: what exhibitors and organisers actually need

A livestream reaches people who could not travel, for the hour it runs. A recap film reaches everyone, for a year. Most exhibitors need the second; some organisers need both.

Verdict

Which to choose

Exhibitors almost always need the recap. Conference organisers may need both: a stream for remote delegates and a recap plus highlight cuts for everyone else. We record for edit and highlights and arrange livestreaming with an AV partner on request; see conference coverage.
