LONDON, March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Business today announced an agreement with Sparq Live Limited to deliver professional-grade hybrid and virtual event experiences via the BlueJeans video collaboration and live streaming platform for customers across Europe. Working in partnership with Sparq Live’s experienced event professionals and technical specialists, enterprises looking to create and execute exceptional on-brand events that immerse and engage audiences will have a one-stop-shop for their events produced and streamed at scale with BlueJeans Events and Studio.
“Teaming up with Sparq Live provides a best in class, high quality event experience. It removes the headache of delivering hybrid and virtual events whilst increasing the quality of production,” said Gareth Jenkins, Managing Partner, EMEA & APAC Channels, BlueJeans by Verizon. “Through this combination of expanded capabilities, we will be able to deliver a full-service solution for even the most demanding event requirements across Europe.”
As part of the collaboration, Verizon will provide the platform and technical support for BlueJeans Studio and Events, an easy-to-use production and live streaming solution for hybrid and virtual events - such as corporate all-hands meetings, earnings calls, and high-impact product launch events - that allows for up to 150,000 registered attendees. Sparq Live, a leading full-service events provider, will manage the professional services and hardware requirements needed to bring these experiences to life.
“This partnership gives our customers a highly produced, broadcast-quality event experience that is simply unrivaled in the industry,” said Elliott Moores, Joint Managing Director, Sparq Live. “I am confident that attendees will leave these experiences feeling that they have been part of something professional as opposed to a group video call.”
By incorporating capabilities for event tech, stage and set design through Sparq Live, customers can benefit from access to the BlueJeans Events suite, delivered in a way that best matches their specific event preferences and needs.
