Livestreaming an AGM for SmartPay
Smartpay Ltd is known for staying ahead of the curve, so when it came time to hold their Annual General Meeting, they chose to livestream the event to ensure remote shareholders could take part in real time. Edwards Sound, already supplying the AV for the AGM, seamlessly added livestreaming to the mix—delivering a smooth, professional three-hour broadcast and a recorded version for those who couldn’t tune in live. With zero disruptions and no technical issues, it was exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes excellence you want from an AV partner. As Smartpay’s Company Secretary Rowena Bowman put it, “We barely saw Edwards. They just did what they needed to do.”

“We barely saw Edwards. They just did what they needed to do. There were no technical problems, everything went smoothly. Then they packed up. Exactly what you want from your AV supplier.”
