Midway session: Producing high quality, engaging video on-the-go

We’ve changed the Midway programming approach for ONA17 to give attendees more insider information and best practices. This year will feature 10 panel discussions highlighting Midway participants’ areas of expertise, unique data, research and industry analysis — no pitches, no fluff.

Audience Engagement Through Video: Live, Mobile, and More

Friday, Oct. 6, 12-1 p.m. – It can be hard to keep up with new ways to rapidly create high quality video pieces. In this session, panelists will discuss how to engage your audience, particularly if you’re producing on-the-go via mobile devices or streaming.
