Learn how live streaming shows, sessions and seminars can help you connect with audiences and collaborators, wherever they are

Whether you want to run simple streams on a budget using low-cost kit, like the phone in your pocket, or you want to commission a production company to do a TV-style multi-camera shoot, understanding the practicalities, considering the implications and devising a best-practice strategy to achieve your objectives is vital.

With reference to relevant case studies from the creative and cultural worlds and a practical demonstration of the hardware, software and processes of running a live stream, Dougal Perman from Inner Ear (and SMIA) will lead a free interactive workshop for music industry individuals and organisations who want to learn about the impact streaming can have on their businesses and projects.

The workshop will be delivered by the Managing Director of Inner Ear and Executive Chair of SMIA Dougal Perman.
