At Present, we often say that great streaming doesn’t have to be complicated. It should just work. When we were tasked with building a multi-platform live stream for a high-profile client, the brief was clear: “Design a system that cannot fail.” That’s exactly what we did.
Our shortlisted project for the Event Tech Awards centred around building a fully resilient, multi-feed, multi-platform streaming system with no single point of failure. We deployed redundant encoders, diverse internet connections, duplicated power supplies and independent audio/video paths. We even designed per-platform switching, allowing each audience on any of the platforms to receive a tailored stream.
This wasn’t about showing off tech. It was about protecting the brand. Our client needed broadcast-level reliability across multiple channels and they got it.
What made the project successful wasn’t just the technology. It was the planning, the experience, and the partnership. At Present, we know that hybrid and streamed events are no longer “nice to have”. They’re business critical. You only get one shot to get it right.
That’s why resilience is at the core of every system we build. It’s why clients trust us with investor calls, international town halls, political broadcasts, and high-stakes live content.
