Online Event Production – Virtual and ‘Hybrid’ Events – Conferences, Workshops, Meetings.
Create an event that is engaging, has a unique quality and has equivalence with an in-person event. It’s possible to create quality events online that reflect the values of an organisation. Producing online we have learned there can be improvements on in-person meetings, as well as challenges of distance and technology. Receiving help to manage your event can improve the experience for everybody concerned.
PRODUCTION FOR ONLINE EVENTS
Whole Being Films offers a production service for those planning an online event. You might want to move a conference online, or consider a hybrid online/in-person event as a way of engaging a wide audience. Whole Being Films has produced a series of highly successful online events for a variety of clients. Scoping out platforms that best suit your needs, helping devise an agenda and script as well as training teams unused to working together in the broadcast medium are all part of the service we offer.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR ONLINE EVENTS
An online event often involves attendees with varying technical capacities, geographic locations and internet conditions. It’s critical to have a system for engaging, troubleshooting and helping attendees as your event airs. Let us take the weight of worry about whether it will work and be successful from your shoulders.
In addition to live streaming, we are highly experienced in event filming. We supply quality edits of your presentations, talks and demos including branding and graphics implementation. For more information please contact: info@wholebeingfilms.com

Endorsements for Whole Being Films’ work.
‘Thankyou for organizing this event, you did a really good job‘ – Merle Davis, Director, Centre Early Child Development, Blackpool
‘We recently appointed Whole Being Films to assist in delivering a virtual conference to an professional audience of 300 delegates. Having never organised a virtual event before, we were keen to recruit experts to help us bring the vision we had to reality. From day one, Elmer and Amaranatho were incredible at understanding our needs and ambition, and helped us to achieve a stand out event with a jam-packed agenda. From technical support in the lead-up and on the day, to producing and editing the conference content – the team were fantastic in all elements of the planning and delivery. They made what was a difficult piece of work into one that we were all extremely proud to have been involved in’. Merle Davis, Director, CECD, and Hannah Connell, Senior Communications Officer NSPCC.
Whole Being Films have worked on two virtual conferences with Action Trauma, the Trauma Recovery Summit (2020) and Intergenerational Trauma (2021).
‘Action Trauma runs conferences and events to raise awareness of psychological trauma, its causes, effects and healing. In 2020, with the imposition of Covid 19 restrictions, we were forced to postpone our flagship Trauma Recovery Summit due to be held in the ICC Waterfront Hall in Belfast, in June. Instead, we ran a Virtual Conference and appointed Whole Being Films/ Elmer Postle to work with our team to handle all of the pre-recording, set up, operational and technical aspects of what was a complicated and intensive event run over two days. Elmer and his team made a seamless process out of what was a hugely complex task of putting together pre-recorded footage, live Q&A sessions after each talk, switching from in-person to virtual and back. Elmer very effectively handled all of the editing, broadcasting and delivery, working closely with our technical and managerial team. Moreover, his caring and professional manner immediately put all the speakers at ease and his attention to the technical detail ensured high quality output. The result was a highly successful and much acclaimed virtual conference which had an attendance of 3,000+ attendees from all over the world. Clive Corry, Action Trauma.
Whole Being Films, directed by Elmer Postle, are wonderful to work with. Their patience, good humour, attention to detail and professionalism are a great support to me as I run my online events. So far, we have worked on three events together, all big successes.

Jane Tyrrell, Human Givens Institute
