SumoQuote Annual Corporate Summit

Maven served as the live production partner for SumoQuote’s annual corporate summit, managing the full production from the client’s Calgary headquarters. The event was fully virtual — all attendees joined remotely, and most speakers presented from off-site — with a single on-site host presenter anchoring the program and connecting a national audience to the day’s sessions.

Maven deployed the ASTRA production core with a single-camera setup and an on-camera broadcast teleprompter, allowing the host to deliver their script while maintaining direct eye contact with the lens — preserving a sense of connection with the remote audience that a standard webinar format would not achieve. Audio coverage included a boom mic and a lapel mic for the host presenter, along with a fold-back monitor so they could hear and interact with virtual presenters in real time. The program streamed live to the RingCentral (previously Hopin) event platform, with a three-person Maven crew managing technical direction and presenter support throughout.
