6 Stunning Montréal Churches With Event Spaces

Mark Twain once said about Montréal that you couldn’t throw a rock without breaking a stained glass window. Any visitor who has stood at the top of Mont Royal to gaze across the city will attest to the medley of steeples that punctuate the cityscape.

Is It OK To Leave My Gear In The Cold?

The issue here isn’t so much the cold, it’s the condensation and moisture that is likely to form on the gear when you bring it in to a warmer place, especially if you’re in a humid environment. This could potentially damage the internals of your gear and lead to electrical issues. You’ll also want to avoid leaving your gear out in places where there’s a chance of it dropping to freezing temperatures, especially if it’s an extended period of time as this could also damage your equipment – for instance, plastics may become more brittle in cold temperatures, leading to breakage and cracking.

5 Montréal Venues Perfect For Tech Events

While Montréal enjoys a reputation as being “exotic” — at least that’s what surveys tell us! — we are much more than delectable food, fun festivals and cute French accents. Like any major North American city, we are diverse when it comes to culture and multidimensional when it comes to successful business sectors.

5 Tips for Live Video Streaming at Events

Live video is the future of content. According to an estimate by networking-equipment maker Cisco, by 2020 75% of the world’s mobile traffic will be video. That’s huge. The big social media platforms are busy to prepare themselves for this inevitable future. Facebook, Periscope, Meerkat, YouTube and Twitter all have some form of live video streaming option, and they’re jostling to offer the most user-friendly, functional technology.

Have a purpose.

Let people know in advance that you’ll be going live.

Decide whether or not the video will be interactive.

Select a strategic location.

Don’t shoot your video in only HD (high definition).
