Chicago Area Video & Multimedia Production Company Prepares to Take Events Online by Providing Camera Crew & Team for On-Site Web Streaming and Location Video Production

Live virtual conferences and video productions are quickly becoming vital for businesses in the Chicago area and around the world. As companies search for alternatives and struggle to find solutions to the current threats in the global economy, communication must remain a normal part of business operation. The trade show and convention sector has been particularly hard hit, as events are canceled out of an abundance of caution and businesses clamp down on non-essential travel. As a result, local area production companies are ramping up their web streaming, video conference, on location, pre-recorded, and Virtual Reality presentation capabilities. One such local area production company, Absolute Vision Productions (http://www.absolutevisionproductions.com), is already making these additional services available to their clients.

Spring and summer are usually among the busiest months for trade shows, conferences, and events across the country. From entertainment-based events to professional trade shows, these gatherings traditionally draw tens of thousands of people from across the globe. Already, several major trade shows have been canceled. Other shows have seen major vendors bow out. But because vendors still want to share their work and connect with customers, video companies have begun offering convention alternatives. Read news here.

Virtual reality presentations, live video streaming, virtual conferences, and on-site recorded videos have become the go-to solutions for companies looking to get their annual message out to stakeholders and supporters. "We've already seen skyrocketing demand for professional camera production crews," said Mark Smith, owner and founder of Absolute Vision Productions. "Many of these companies still want to put on a highly polished, professional looking video presentation. So, you need a production crew, you need a web streaming crew--and, really a web streaming company that understands the challenges." Smith went on to say that, having worked small businesses and Fortune-100 business, Absolute Vision can create flexible, unique media packages for each client's need.

Absolute Vision Media Productions has been offering video production and web streaming for years. Absolute Vision's local Chicago crew have been able to help with a wide variety of productions in the midwest and beyond. As an award-winning production company, Absolute Vision has been able to deliver above and beyond client expectations on project after project. Of course, the environment now is exceptionally challenging. That's why more companies are falling back on on site recording, live video streaming, and virtual conferences. The technology is tried and tested, especially in the hands of an experienced and local production crew. In some cases, once a trade show is cancelled, a client may want to create a live webcast. In other cases, an on-site video production will be recorded for later publication and distribution.

That gives a company looking to make a splash in uncertain times a little extra confidence. There's no doubt that the disrupted business environment is presenting a wide variety of challenges, the most dire of which tend to be human-focused. But the economic challenges will also have repercussions for people across the globe. In such an uncertain environment, companies are looking for something they can count on--but they aren't looking to withdraw from the world stage, either. Virtual conferences, on location at corporate offices, and video streaming offer the ability to ensure a company still has a presence and is still garnering attention, but not in a way that puts any of its employees in harm's way.

Over the coming months, it's likely that more conferences, trade shows, and conventions will be postponed. So it's likely that companies large and small will continue to hedge their bets. That means that video production in the Chicago and Chicago suburbs will likely be in high demand as the situation changes --and the economic impacts that linger.

"We do expect conventions and trade shows to get back to normal eventually," Smith said. "But until then, we do have the technology and the expertise to make sure companies can continue to have a presence. And we're increasing our capabilities every day." Smith mentioned he expects more demand for video conferencing and virtual meetups as the virus lingers. In that case, the right kind of setup--with a multi camera production crew or a location production for corporate communications--is essential. Absolute Vision Productions is an award-winning media company with the knowledge, experience, and technology to help businesses through this rapidly changing media landscape.

Offices located in the near Chicago suburbs.

Leadership Development Study Reveals Biggest Leadership Lapses

Less than one-third of organizations believe leadership development has significant business impact, according to Brandon Hall Group's 2019-20 Leadership Development research. Less than 60% of organizations believe their leaders possess the competencies and emotional intelligence to successfully drive business goals over the two years.

"The leadership needs of organizations are evolving quickly as the business environment changes," said Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke. "Employers must move quickly to put strategies and programs in place to meet current and future needs."
The primary causes of insufficient leadership are inadequate succession management and ineffective identification of high-potentials. Read all the latest news.

A majority of research respondents said their organizations are ill-equipped to develop, implement and sustain an effective leadership-development program. The biggest reasons are inadequate funding and a lack of alignment between HR leaders and business leaders.

Leadership is always critical, but never more so than now, as the pace of this fourth industrial revolution gains speed and there is unprecedented transformation in how businesses operate and work gets done. Employers must, in many cases, radically alter their approach to leadership to be successful in the 2020s.

Failure to do so will have significant negative impact on business growth, employee engagement, employee retention, employer brand and the ability to attract top talent, and remain competitive.

"The top concern among business and human capital management leaders is retaining the best people. That starts with strong leadership and developing the next generation of leaders. The top barrier impeding leadership development programs is the belief that leaders have limited time to learn," said Claude Werder, VP of Research at Brandon Hall Group.

Through the 2019-20 Leadership Development Study and subsequent qualitative interviews, Brandon Hall Group developed strategies for scaling leadership development for business impact.

"We aren't hyping an equivalent substitute for the value realized from in-person events, but the common use of several technology platforms and digital channels now empowers an alternative strategy for new product awareness, lead generation and in-person networking."
