Highlight Key Takeaways of the Conference

While your in-person conference may have only lasted a few hours, video footage of the conference provides insight into the knowledge and perspectives shared that will last for years to come. If you’ve ever held a conference or even just attended one, you know how much prep work goes into its success. Don’t let the passage of time diminish your impact. With video, you can ensure that the key takeaways stay top of mind. 

Producing a conference recap video ultimately prolongs the event’s impact and reach. When the footage is repurposed and released, educators and viewers nationwide gain access to the ideas and resources discussed in a single segment.

A conference recap video reiterates the key takeaways for both attendees and viewers who were unable to participate. Accessibility is a crucial factor in successful professional development, and many educators often feel limited by their geographic location, travel demands, and budget constraints. Thankfully, with digital tools and a high-value production team, you can create an evergreen recap video that reaches even more professionals. 

Creating this lasting reflection encourages further conversation and dialogue about key messages discussed at your conference among a wider audience. Continuing the conversation opens the door for new ideas and education surrounding conference topics, fostering innovation and community.

Strengthen Marketing Efforts and Recruitment 

Remember that video is versatile, and the possibilities are endless with some solid B-roll footage! Video highlights from the conference can be repurposed for promotional videos, social media posts and reels, newsletters, or future registration campaigns. As a bonus, people love to see the real faces that make up their community. When you share consistent content featuring local school leaders and staff, your following will continue to grow over time. 

This footage is invaluable for organizations that host annual conferences, as it visually lays out what attendees can expect at future events. Many prospective guests are more persuaded to come if you show them, rather than tell them, what the conference is about. All in all, event footage is highly versatile for a wide variety of content.

Showcase Your Organization

Conferences offer strength-building and bring together a community, sometimes from all around the world. Filming on-site at a conference not only highlights its learning opportunities and skill enhancements but also showcases your organization’s culture and strengths. 

Thanks to the internet and social media, your conference recap video has the potential to reach a vast audience that might not otherwise be aware of your organization or the conference you held. This is an opportunity to reach a new audience and increase engagement on your social channels.
