Key takeaway

Standout town halls & AGMs design starts from the moment that matters, then builds the stage, screen geometry and lighting around it. Shape the LED rather than defaulting to a flat rectangle, light for skin tone on camera, and protect one clean reveal.

Key takeaways

  • Design backwards from the moment that matters
  • Shape the LED instead of a flat rectangle
  • Light for the camera as well as the room
  • Protect one clean reveal

Design from the moment outwards

An AGM adds governance obligations that change the technical brief. Resolutions have to be displayed accurately and in order, voting and quorum arrangements may require a scrutiniser with their own view, the recording often forms part of the official record, and the stream usually has to be access-controlled so it cannot be redistributed. All of that means a verified content pack signed off by the company secretary, a recording that starts before the chair speaks and runs unbroken to the close, and a clear chain of custody for the file afterwards.
