Wow! It’s hard to believe we’ve already reached the midpoint of 2024; it’s the perfect time to reflect on the exciting projects and milestones we’ve achieved at BCC Live. This year has been one of our busiest yet; a whirlwind of creativity, innovation, and collaboration. We’re thrilled to share some of the highlights with you.

So far in 2024, we’ve expanded our capabilities and services to better serve our clients’ diverse needs. Our goal has always been to elevate our clients’ creative visions, and this year, we’ve taken significant steps to ensure every project is a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Kaiut Yoga – 7 Day Practice Intensive

We kicked off the year with the Kaiut Yoga – 7 Day Practice Intensive. During this event each year, we provide the technology for Kaiut Yoga to bring in a remote instructor who leads the courses during the event. It’s an inspiring event that brings practitioners together physically, mentally, and emotionally.

February brought us a few great events! We sent our team to Orlando, FL for the Running USA Conference and then moved straight into ETH Denver. During ETH Denver’s breakout events, our team managed multiple live streams and offered on-demand video services to share insights from the blockchain community.

As we moved into March our crew traveled to the Chattanooga Marathon, the Skyway 10k, and the Portland Shamrock run. These are all events where we provide comprehensive video coverage and event production services. Dave even announces the race at the Portland Shamrock run! Each one is unique and so much fun!

April brought the team an entirely new experience… shooting video on a cruise. BCC took on the challenge of filming on a moving vessel while still delivering stunning visuals. This trip was full of sunshine and scenic views that we were able to capture behind the lens.

In May we began broadcasting soccer for the first time! We partnered with the Colorado Storm and were able to livestream all of their home games throughout the season. It was an opportunity to provide real-time updates and live coverage to keep fans engaged and involved in the sport.

June had a few more corporate conferences in store for us. We provided livestreaming and video production for the US Heat Pump Summit and The Business of Running Events Conference. We had a blast capturing keynotes, panels, and networking sessions.

And we can’t forget IRONMAN and Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. We continue to travel all around North America for these events, as well as broadcasting races worldwide. This year we took on a new challenge with our long-term partners. We produced the entire broadcast for IRONMAN 70.3 St. George and IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder. This means we weren’t just the team in the studio… We were also the team in the field. We were the team running the cameras and providing on course commentary. It was an incredible learning opportunity and we’re so grateful for all our partners who made the whole thing possible!

Livestreaming and broadcasting continue to be a cornerstone of our offerings. This year, we introduced new technologies and techniques to enhance the viewer experience. Our team successfully broadcasted a variety of events, including corporate conferences, sporting events, and live performances. Each broadcast was tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients, ensuring high engagement and seamless execution. We’ve made great progress in our live graphic development, enhancing the viewing experience for anyone who tunes in. We’ve enjoyed collaborating as a team to learn and master new skills and then show them off to the world!

Our social media presence has grown significantly in 2024. We’ve been actively sharing behind-the-scenes content, project highlights, and client testimonials on our Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. These platforms have become valuable spaces for us to connect with our audience, showcase our work, and share industry insights. If you don’t yet follow us, please do! We promise to deliver funny & engaging content and love connecting with new people.

As we move into the second half of 2024, we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in event production and digital media. We have several exciting projects on the horizon and look forward to sharing more incredible stories with you.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, if you have a vision, we’re here to bring it to life.
