We had a dedicated A/V team this year to do the recordings and 
the venue team to do the live stream. We had a dedicated A/V team 
last year to do both, as the venue had none of their own.

Each conference provides us with lessons to apply to the next. No 
conference goes off without hiccups. Most are behind the scenes. 
In terms of video, we learned last year not to rely on one setup 
for live streaming and recording. This year we applied it. This 
year, we learned not to use WebEx for live streaming. Or, better, 
to always request the team use YouTube for the stream.
