Quince Imaging Virtual and Hybrid Events 2020

"This holiday season, unlike any other, caps off a year unlike any other. In light of the drastic changes the world has experienced on a global scale, we are humbled and optimistic as we look toward the future. Despite the setbacks and hardships initially experienced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are finishing off the year with a sense of pride in our partner and client relationships, who provided tremendous support and encouragement as we forged ahead to engineer innovative solutions that will leave the future of live events forever changed.

As we look ahead to a brighter future, we are also grateful for the challenges that have given way to the opportunities none of us could have seen coming just one year ago. Over the past nine months, the team at Quince Imaging has swiftly transitioned from an in-person live events focus, to a virtual and hybrid event-focused powerhouse. We’ve transformed our 40,000 square-foot office space into a remote broadcast studio, launched a new business unit specializing in virtual production, and designed a suite of products and services to uphold the infrastructure of modern live events, which are now, and for the immediate future, being attended remotely.

As a service provider our clients have come to rely on, we never lost hope in the industry, and remained committed to serving our clients throughout this unprecedented time. We are also delighted to see that our clients and partners have remained committed to collaborating, innovating and finding solutions for challenges we never saw coming. On that note, we are delighted to share the following brief video, highlighting just a few creative ways our clients were able to leverage our hybrid events platform and media toolkits to launch successful hybrid events throughout the year.

Sending the warmest wishes for a happy holiday season and Happy New Year. We look forward to the opportunity to engage you in 2021!"

Cheers,

-Scott Williams and the Quince Imaging Team

The inside story of the WWE ThunderDome, a futuristic arena built for the pandemic, which already has 130,000 fans waiting to get in

"I don't think this is just a new platform. I believe you can monetize a virtual experience that leagues, teams, and promoters can sell tickets for globally, for a local event. There are super fans for every franchise out there, who would love to be at the game or event, but they can't be. And if they have the ability to be close to the game, rather than just watching it on television, they'll sign up to it all the time. As a result, this is a new business model. You can bring in fans who can get a unique experience either through exclusive camera angles or extra content. Plus, the most important thing, is that they feel like they're in the building."

- John Slusser of The Famous Group on how the ThunderDome model of virtual fan experience could feasibly compliment the traditional fan experience on a post-pandemic planet.
