    Please note: this service is significantly simpler and involves fewer technicians and less equipment than a full hybrid service. The nature of an on-site event limits the amount of attention the one tech can devote to the online audience. If you require more attention to detail or would like to use our professional cameras, etc., we recommend using our Hybrid Events package.
