FAQ on Hybrid Event

• What is hybrid event?  Why I want to turn my event hybrid?

• A hybrid event seamlessly connects your in-person audience with the world. It allows you to beam in VIP speakers from anywhere and capture FOMO for those beyond the venue. More importantly, your event becomes a content engine: producing high-quality video, podcasts, and social highlights to fuel your comms / marketing for months.  

• How much does it cost to run a hybrid event in Sydney?

Between $1000 to $1,800 for a 90 minutes hybrid session, depending on the venue. While a full-day AV service at our partner venues ranges from $1,600 to $3,300.  Sana.Live is designed for startups and mission-driven events. We leverage high-performance, software-defined technologies to keep costs accessible.

• Why Sana.Live price is 60% - 70% more affordable than others?   

Traditional AV contractors use bulky hardware, video switcher, and 3 or 4 crews in a van. We use a 'Pro-Gamer' tech stack: robotic cameras (Birddog PTZ) and open source software (OBS, the same software powering the world’s biggest pro gamer live streams). This allows a single expert to manage multi-cam switching and remote guests, avoiding all the expensive multi-crew process.

• Which Sydney venues is ready for this lean hybrid events?

We are preferred partners at Sydney’s top innovation hubs, including Greenhouse Tech Hub, Collider @TechCentral, The Basement @TechCentral, Stone & Chalk, Tank Stream Labs, and the UTS Startups event space. These venues are optimised for our lean workflows, ensuring a seamless event.  Beaming your messages to the world.  

• What platform shall we use to live stream my event?

It depends on your goal. YouTube is best for high-quality, public reach and instant SEO. Vimeo is ideal for high-quality private or ticketed streams. Zoom remains the king of interactivity for small group Q&A, while Microsoft Teams is the standard for secure internal corporate town halls. 

• When will the event video be ready for post event distribution and marketing campaign? 

Immediately. When you streamed to YouTube or Vimeo, the same link you used for the live event becomes your permanent distribution link the moment the event ends. You can start sharing the replay. You are ready to maintain your marketing momentum without waiting for 'post-production' delays.   For post production use, recording is available to your editor before you done packing up the event.
