This week the UK hosted the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) where world leaders gathered in London and Windsor to address shared global challenges and agree actions on how to create a better future for all.
The Event Streaming team were on-site for 7 days webcasting the events, forums and ceremonies live to Facebook, YouTube and LiveStream. Working for Glasgow’s a multi-award winning agency with specialities in events management and technical production.
The Commonwealth contains a diverse group of countries, its home to half of the globe’s top emerging cities and, with a combined population of 2.4 billion people, nearly a third of the global population.
The Commonwealth Summit was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth followed by an official welcome of the leaders of 53 Commonwealth nations by UK Prime Minister Theresa May and Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland.
A first for the Event Streaming team was the new feature within Facebook to crosspost live webcasts.
Jamie from EventStreaming.TV: “Crossposting is a great new feature allowing us to broadcast across multiple pages without the need for multiple encoders. For example we streamed the official opening live to the Buckingham Palace Facebook page and cross posted simultaneously to the Commonwealth, with viewing figures at just over 580,000”
Other highlights of the week included Meghan Markle joining Prince Harry as he begins work as a Commonwealth youth ambassador. Webcasting live from Buckingham Place as The Queen called the Commonwealth ‘one of the world’s great convening powers’ during her speech at the formal opening, and Emeli Sande singing the National Anthem.
