Our team handles everything from executive production to technical ex*****on, so you can trust us when we tell you 📣 SAFETY IS A PRIORITY.

Last week, our Head of Production, Kate Simpson, was able to complete a 3-day course and become OSHA certified 🎉

Her BIG takeaway from the course was this: “If safety is everyone’s job, it’s no one’s responsibility. We have to guarantee we are doing everything we can to create a safe working environment for all of our employees, vendors, and partners by holding ourselves accountable for the safety of our production.”

Last week SFG collaborated with the ACLU to produce the ACLU Emergency Town Hall: Our Fight for Abortion Access.

We’re grateful that we were able to produce such an important and necessary event to support the millions of people who will be affected by this Supreme Court decision.

Check out the video at the link below to see experts from the ACLU discuss the impacts of this decision and how they plan on moving forward.

On June 24, the Supreme Court issued a shameful ruling explicitly overturning Roe v. Wade — turning its back on 50 years of precedent. The consequences of re...

Sick of choppy, unreliable remote recordings that depend solely on someone’s internet bandwidth?

We absolutely were 👋

That’s why we’re so glad we were introduced to Riverside.fm! Riverside allows us to record our speakers completely remotely and at the highest quality their cameras allow.

Riverside also records locally, so even if the internet drops while uploading your footage your recording will come out clear and uninterrupted.

We’re able to record isolated audio tracks as well for all of the participants in the session- up to 8! And it even works on iOS devices.

There are also options to include folks as collaborators so they can watch the recording sessions while it’s happening and provide feedback.

Riverside’s separation between Producers and Editor also allows us the freedom to include our post-production team on our account and allow them access to only download recorded content.

Is your next event going to feature pre-recorded speakers?

At SFG, we’re continually improving our systems to keep up with the demand of the ever evolving event landscape.

One of the ways we’ve improved a standard Zoom meeting is to integrate a VMix call system to improve functionality and speaker experience. There’s a wide range of benefits that comes from using VMix that include:

➡️ Allowing speakers to enter a virtual backstage area where they can speak to each other and our stage manager before going live

➡️ Isolating individual speaker audio and video with the ability to pull them on and off the screen during the course of the event

➡️ Integrating custom graphics for PiPs, full screen slates, and lower thirds

➡️ Speakers backstage can be fed a program feed so they’re aware of what’s happening when they’re off screen and watch any pre-recorded videos in real time

Vmix allows us to effectively manage speakers, graphics, and content all at once.

If you’re looking for a way to integrate this into your next event, we’d love to hear it!

This week some of our team members were able to attend the Event Tech Live Summit! 🧠

Some of our favorite sessions included:
🌎 Leveraging Technology to Deliver Sustainable Hybrid Events
🤖 Is the Metaverse the Future of Events?
🫂 How to Build Event Communities

It was great to hear experts in our field about the future of events and companies like SFG can use our deep knowledge in event and technology production to create enjoyable 🎉, sustainable 🌱, and repeatable ♻️ events for both live and virtual audiences.

We were so excited to be able to act as the executive producer for the second annual in New Orleans! The festival included over 10 musical performances, an Artists’ Village, a beer garden, and food trucks.

New Orleans is full of exciting festivals, but this one is our fav so mark your calendars for next March 🎉

We love working with our longtime partner- TED !

We worked with them on a TEDGlobal event that happened in Tanzania where we managed and executed all aspects of the audio visual pieces.

These are some of our favorite photos that highlight how incredible these live events were.
