1. What is a live streaming event?

1.1 Definition of live streaming

A live streaming event allows you to broadcast in real-time to an audience via platforms like YouTube, Facebook Live, or Zoom. It’s a powerful tool to engage attendees regardless of their location. With live streaming, your event can transcend physical barriers and reach hundreds or even thousands of people at once.

1.2 Why use live streaming for your event?

We know that live streaming offers several strategic benefits:

• Wider reach: Engage attendees globally without needing a physical venue.
• Real-time interaction: Features like live Q&As and polls allow for dynamic audience participation.
• Cost-effective: Reduce expenses associated with physical events like travel, venue rental, and logistics.
• Increased engagement: Capture your audience’s attention with the immediacy of live streaming.

At Altrolux, we make sure your event is well-prepared to leverage these advantages by providing tailored solutions that fit your audience and goals.
