The battle for audience attention has shifted. Experiences are no longer measured against broadcast quality alone, they are competing directly with the immediacy, personalisation, and constant availability of the smartphone.
That challenge sits at the heart of Beyond the Experience: Taking events, entertainment, and immersion to the next level, a forthcoming webinar hosted by Inavate APAC in partnership with Ross Video and Unilumin.
Taking place on April 29 at 13.00 SGT (10.30 IST, 15.00 AEST), the session will unpack how live sports and entertainment production across APAC is evolving, and what that means for venues, integrators, and technology providers.
Competing with the second screen
For venues, the challenge is no longer simply delivering a great in-person experience. Audiences now expect seamless integration between what happens inside the venue and what they can access on their devices.
This shift is forcing a rethink of production priorities. The traditional divide between in-house AV systems and broadcast workflows is narrowing, with both needing to serve a hybrid, always-connected audience.
The webinar will explore how this convergence is reshaping system design, and why treating in-venue and at-home audiences as part of the same ecosystem is becoming essential.
Workflows under pressure
As venues scale and expectations rise, so too does operational complexity.
From synchronising LED displays with live feeds to managing multi-format content pipelines, production teams are under increasing pressure to deliver more with less friction. The session will examine how workflows are evolving to meet these demands, and where bottlenecks are most likely to emerge.
For integrators and end users alike, understanding how production and display technologies intersect is becoming critical, particularly as large-scale venues across APAC continue to invest in immersive, high-impact visual environments.
From spectacle to system
The conversation will also look beyond headline-grabbing experiences to the underlying systems that make them possible.
As immersive environments become more ambitious, the focus is shifting toward reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency. The ability to deliver consistent performance across multiple touchpoints - from the main screen to personal devices - is now a defining factor in successful live production.
Industry insight from across the ecosystem
The session brings together voices from across the production and display landscape, including Jake Tolsher and Mike Steinbrecher of Ross Video, alongside Anton Prokudin from Unilumin.
The discussion will be moderated by Hurrairah bin Sohail, offering a perspective grounded in the real-world challenges faced by AV professionals across the region.
Why attend?
For AV professionals working in venues, live events, and entertainment, the session offers a timely look at how audience behaviour is reshaping technical requirements.
Rather than focusing purely on technology, the webinar aims to connect shifting expectations with practical implications, from system design and integration to day-to-day operation.
As the line between live, broadcast, and personal viewing continues to blur, understanding how to deliver across all three is quickly becoming a core competency.
Registration is now open for Beyond the Experience: Taking events, entertainment, and immersion to the next level.
