Cloud Hybrid Event Production

Phoenix, AZ – Feb. 14, 2026 

Remote video production reached a new operational benchmark at the recent American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Conference, where tens of hours of live programming were streamed continuously across multiple stages, remote presenters, and international time zones.

The multi-day conference marked the first large-scale deployment of a newly formalized partnership between Innovative Event Technologies and eiMedia (eimedia.net), following six months of research, systems testing, and workflow engineering. The collaboration introduced a distributed production model designed to deliver network-level broadcast quality while reducing the scale and cost of traditional onsite infrastructure.

The technical framework utilized high-speed fiber and bonded connectivity to transport contribution feeds into a secure cloud-based environment powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This architecture enabled scalable ingest, encoding, recording, and global distribution with built-in redundancy. Real-time switching, graphics integration, multi-box layouts, and precision audio mixing were executed through mimoLive, maintaining consistent branding and centralized control across extended programming blocks. Final distribution was delivered via YouTube, supporting adaptive bitrate HD and 4K streaming along with immediate on-demand access.

“At the razor’s edge of emerging technologies, we’re able to deploy solutions that dramatically increase quality while improving cost efficiency,” said Craig Chapman, Founder of Innovative Event Technologies. “Cloud infrastructure and low-latency transport allow us to achieve network-level production standards without the traditional onsite footprint.”

Broadcast strategy for the event was led by Daniel “Boone” Enser—Emmy Award-winning producer, director, writer, editor, and creator—who has built his career as an innovator and technologist embracing industry evolution. Enser was part of the original launch team at the Golf Channel, the first fully digital television network, worked at Nickelodeonduring its highest-rated programming era, and later helped pioneer one of the first ESPN Schools initiatives for ESPN+. Throughout his career, Enser has consistently adopted emerging platforms and production models ahead of industry shifts.

“This technology is a dream come true,” Enser said. “Innovation has always been about embracing change, and we’re now able to combine decades of broadcast experience with cloud-based systems that deliver higher quality and smarter investment.”

Chapman added, “By reducing travel, freight, and large-scale staging costs, organizations can redirect resources toward enhanced production value, stronger technical redundancy, and broader audience reach. This isn’t just innovation for innovation’s sake—it’s money well spent and a smarter way to deliver world-class events.”

Organizers say the AAAS deployment demonstrates that distributed production models now meet—and often exceed—traditional broadcast standards while improving resilience and financial efficiency at scale.
