The biweekly LinkedIn Company Connect event is a vital corporate communications program that helps maintain an interactive connection between the leadership and the global workforce. These “Global Town Halls” tie the executives via a bespoke mobile rack to any studio, office, event venue or device by way of a pair of side-by-side remote production studios in Mountain View, CA where this conference is being held. Company Connect’s production workflow has been designed for scale and flexibility so that the Producer, Director, TD and their team can create a consistent program regardless of where it is coming from, what sources are being delivered, and what type of program is being produced. This keynote panel will give a 360-degree view on the making of this high-profile program from a company that holds “corporate connections” at its very core.
