Organisers! Is your conference packed with world-class content? So packed in fact that you have sessions in multiple rooms – simultaneously? Yes? This likely means your delegates must make the difficult decision of which of your speakers to hear from. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Under the care of First Sight Media your audience can relax – safe in the knowledge that they won’t miss a thing.
Discover how to make the most of your content at your next event through the power of on-demand.

Each year our friends at The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) host their renowned congress. Over 3 days, and spread across 5 separate halls, they deliver over 200 sessions of CPD certified presentations with world-leading speakers. That’s a lot of valuable content on offer for delegates, so the challenge is to make sure they have access to all of it.
Single and multi-camera solutions, teamed with live vision-mixing, captured every second of content across the 5 lecture theatres. A picture-in-picture solution allowed the audience to see not only what was happening onstage, but also the slide content, side-by-side.
Recordings from the day were made available for on-demand viewing within 20 minutes of the sessions finishing and featured BOTH video of the speakers and the slide content simultaneously on screen, providing an immersive experience for those watching at home.
To make it as easy as possible for delegates to watch the sessions again, we partnered with BEVA to facilitate, build and deliver their BEVA Congress App – available to all delegates online or via the Google and iOS stores. With a clear programme including session information for delegates to use to plan their day, the agenda listings became on-demand content as soon as they were available.
Since the event, sessions have had over 1,000 views on the app – which is available to all delegates and BEVA members for 12 months with people from over 25 countries racking up views. And the content continues to be used in their ongoing CPD programme – specialist subjects that were discussed at the congress are used as ‘background reading’ before in-person practical or discussion groups.
"First Sight Media’s dedication to delivering on-demand content has truly elevated our membership experience at our annual BEVA Congress. The professionalism and expertise they bring to every project offers peace of mind and reassures us we're in safe hands. We're beyond thrilled with the results and look forward to continuing our partnership with them."

The app we helped create for BEVA wasn’t just for housing on-demand content. It was the nerve centre of the congress before, during and after the event. Delegates had the opportunity to browse speaker bios, exhibitor information, virtual networking and more. The app was also the key mechanism for engagement, facilitating live Q&A and polling for delegates.
And that’s not all – the same system was used for simple, speedy, in-person registration. On arrival, delegates came to one of our purpose-built kiosks, scanned the QR code on their app (or popped in their name) and their lanyard was printed instantly.
