TEDxRotterdam
A local Rotterdam livestream partner
TEDx events are known for short talks in which speakers share expertise or conviction in 18 minutes. TEDxRotterdam asked Valo to livestream the talks as a local Rotterdam production partner.
Valo had already worked with TEDxRotterdam in 2017 as the link between the organisation and the livestream partner. In 2019, TEDxRotterdam asked Valo to handle the livestream directly.
Social media livestream and hybrid event production
Valo was responsible for a smooth full-day programme of TED Talks. Together with TEDxRotterdam, we chose a Facebook livestream.
In the weeks before the event, Valo coached the presenters together with communication agency Debatrix. When the show host dropped out shortly before the event, Valo arranged Rotterdam presenter Peter van Drunen to host the day.
Result
The event was a strong example of a hybrid event: people in the room and online followers around the world experienced the same programme at the same time.
Alongside almost 2,000 people in the venue, roughly the same number watched online during the day. The Rotterdam talks have since been viewed more than 30,000 times on YouTube.

- A detailed production script and day schedule

- Speaker briefing
- Experienced direction
- Camera crew coordination
- Fast streaming connection

Price indication
For a comparable hybrid event of this size, think of roughly €15,000 to €20,000 per production.
