Getting more from your event coverage
An event lasts a day. Good coverage keeps it working for months, if you plan for it before the doors open.
Organizations invest heavily in conferences, launches, and ceremonies. Too often the coverage is an afterthought, and the result is a folder of photos that nobody uses.
Plan the story before the event
Share the programme with your production team early. Identify the key moments, the speakers, and any guests who must be captured. Decide which interviews you want and book them in advance.
Design the space for the camera
Backdrops, podiums, and banners appear in almost every photo. Make sure the branding is clear, readable, and placed where cameras will see it.
Agree the deliverables
- A small set of selected photos for quick social media posts.
- A full edited gallery for press and partners.
- A short highlight film, and full session recordings if needed.
- Vertical clips of speakers for reels.
Respect the people in the frame
Ask for consent, especially for close interviews, and respect anyone who prefers not to be filmed. Good coverage is built on trust.
