Live events are inherently interesting and appealing. They are a great way to showcase expertise, engage audiences and serve distributed communities.

But, it seems that Murphy’s First Law—if anything can go wrong, it will—was written with technical side of live broadcasting in mind. Successfully capturing and streaming live events requires a broad range of specialized technology and expertise. That's why so few companies take on the challenge, and even fewer succeed.
