Conferences & Congresses
End-to-end planning and production of conferences, congresses, and summits — technology, direction, content, and attendee management.
Conferences & Congresses — Professional Event Technology and Production from Berlin
Conferences and congresses demand the highest standards of organization, technology, and production. Multi-day programs, parallel sessions, international speakers, simultaneous interpretation, and live streaming — everything must work together seamlessly. Jakobs Medien, based in Berlin-Kreuzberg, delivers the complete media technology infrastructure and production for conferences, congresses, and summits of any scale.
Our experience includes large-scale international events with over 80 individual live events, multi-day conferences, and political congresses for federal ministries and international organizations. We know what professional conference technology takes.
What We Deliver for Your Conference
Multi-Camera Production
Professional conferences require professional visuals. We deploy multi-camera setups that capture keynotes, panels, and workshops in broadcast quality. Our real-time vision mixing via the TriCaster Elite 2 enables dynamic cuts, graphic overlays, lower thirds, and pre-produced inserts — turning your conference into a polished broadcast, even in the stream.
Conference Technology
- Sound Systems: PA systems tailored to the room size — from intimate workshop spaces to large congress halls
- Microphone Technology: Wireless lavalier, handheld, and table microphones for panels and discussions
- LED Walls and Screens: Stage backgrounds, presentation screens, and monitors for breakout rooms
- Stage Lighting: Professional lighting for cameras and an engaging stage design
- Confidence Monitors and Teleprompters: Support for speakers on stage
Simultaneous Interpretation
Multilingual conferences are our strength. We integrate simultaneous interpretation technology for any number of languages:
- Professional interpreter booths
- Pocket receivers for the in-hall audience
- Digital interpretation channels for online attendees in the live stream
- Coordination with your interpreter team
At large-scale international events, we have successfully produced multilingual events in real time — with parallel audio tracks in the stream and seamless switching.
Live Streaming and Recording
We stream your conference to all relevant platforms while simultaneously recording every session. This way, you reach not only the on-site audience but also international attendees who cannot travel. The recordings are available for post-event use as a media library, on-demand videos, or training material.
Speaker Management with iveo
For conferences with many speakers, we rely on the event platform of our partner iveo. The platform enables:
- Online Application Process: Speakers apply digitally for event slots
- Profile Management: Photos, bios, and technical requirements are managed centrally
- Program Planning: Time slots, room assignments, and scheduling in a single system
- Automated Graphics: Lower thirds and speaker information are pulled directly from iveo into the live production — no manual input required
- Stakeholder Access: Different roles (organizer, speaker, moderator) with appropriate access permissions
Formats We Produce
Panel Discussions and Panels
Multi-speaker discussions on stage — we ensure the right camera angle, the right audio, and the dynamic vision mixing that visually captures a lively debate.
Keynotes and Presentations
Solo presentations professionally captured and streamed — with graphic overlays, speaker lower thirds, and seamless integration of slides and videos.
Workshops and Breakout Sessions
We also equip smaller formats in side rooms with technology — from basic audio and recording setups to full camera production.
Hybrid Sessions with Remote Speakers
International experts who cannot attend in person are connected via professional video conferencing solutions. Their image appears on the LED wall in the hall, and they can participate live in the discussion.
Multi-Day Events
Congresses and conferences often span multiple days. Our team is built for it:
- Continuous technical operation across multiple event days
- Parallel sessions in different rooms
- Daily technical checks and optimizations
- Shift planning for the production team
- Flexibility to adapt to changing schedules
