When we heard that this year’s Maha Kumbh Mela was predicted to attract over 80 million people, making it the world’s biggest gathering of people ever, we were intrigued to say the least.

Live video streaming can help you to increase the reach of your event to those who can’t attend. It may also help you to reach customers who hadn’t planned on attending anyway, and convince them to come to your next event or conference. With live streaming, your event takes place simultaneously on the internet, effectively bringing people from all around the world to your gathering.

The right lighting at your event is a critical part of setting the mood for your attendees. Get it spot on, and they’ll be talking about your events for years to come.
