VMware Explore 2024

VMware Explore 2024 brought general sessions to a large remote audience. Stagedge delivered the broadcast and streaming infrastructure, reaching more than 20,000 remote attendees with closed captioning and live social clipping.

The challenge

Delivering general sessions to a remote audience of 20,000+ required reliable broadcast streaming with accessibility built in — closed captioning throughout — and the ability to clip content live for social distribution as the sessions unfolded.

The Stagedge solution

Stagedge provided broadcast and streaming for the general sessions, including closed captions in English and live clipping for social distribution. Our streaming team delivered bonded, redundant encoding and a backup web environment to keep the feed stable for the remote audience.

The outcome

VMware Explore reached more than 20,000 remote attendees with a stable, accessible broadcast and live social clipping that extended the reach of the general sessions well beyond the room.
