Planning a Live Streamed Event?
Don’t Learn These Lessons the Hard Way.
A practical checklist for Calgary events that covers the stuff most people miss, until it’s too late.
It takes 30 seconds. No spam.
If you’ve ever:
Assumed the venue WiFi would be fine
Realized too late no one could hear the speaker clearly
Had to troubleshoot something live in front of an audience
You’re not alone.
Most event streams don’t fail because of one big issue.
They fail because of small things stacking up at the worst possible time.
This checklist walks through:
Internet: what actually matters vs what people assume
Audio: where most streams quietly fall apart
Cameras: what you need vs what you don’t
Slides & screen capture: where things get messy fast
Crew & run of show: the part nobody plans properly
A lot of people think live streaming is just:
“Set up a couple cameras and go live.”
Sometimes that works.
Until:
The network drops
Audio isn’t clean
Slides don’t display properly
No one is actually monitoring the stream
And by the time you notice… it’s already happening live.
This checklist won’t turn you into a production company.
But it will help you:
Spot risks early
Ask better questions
Avoid the most common mistakes
Built from real experience in Calgary.
Corporate events, non-profits, conferences, and live productions.
