The brief

A 400-person summit with a packed agenda, an international delegation, and a comms team that needed two things at once: live visibility while sessions were running, and a permanent record they could keep using long after the event closed.

The risk in a brief like this is always the same: coverage that looks good on the day but produces nothing a comms team can actually reuse in reports, decks and campaigns.

The approach.

We split the programme before we split the crew. A three-person team, each with a defined lane: one on the record: sessions, speakers, the moments the report will need; one on atmosphere and delegates; one cutting on site.

Every session logged as it was shot, so the library arrived organised, not as a folder of ten thousand frames.

Three reels were shot, cut and delivered on location each day.The summit's channels stayed active while the rooms were still full.
