Capturing Life in Real-Time: The Technology Taking Live Entertainment to the Next Frontier

Session details:

Whether it's sports, news, or broader entertainment and culture, live programming again and again outperforms all other forms of television and streaming. However, despite the ongoing success of live content, there is a real opportunity to reimagine it entirely, moving beyond the longstanding limitations of traditional 30 or 60-minute formats that have greatly stifled creativity, and refreshing the approach to the way content is captured altogether.

In this fireside chat with Zeam Founder and CEO Jack Perry, led by Light Reading Senior Editor Jeff Baumgartner, attendees will learn about the new tools in the toolbox for streamers and production teams to take live entertainment to the next frontier, taking a deep dive into the slate of new technology that is making it possible to truly capture life as it unfolds – live, raw, and unfiltered. Jack can also discuss real-life examples of what this new approach to live can look like, from Zeam’s “Destination Comedy” franchise, which debuted over the summer and featured a week-long live stream of rising comedian Mike Young road tripping across the state of Michigan, to the streamer’s live production of “FRIENDZGIVING - A VERSION OF THE PARADE,” which featured a roundtable of comedians taking in the Thanksgiving Day parade from a different perspective and with outrageous hijinks along the way.
