SiGMA

SiGMA brings its conference circuit to a different region each edition. North America 2026 was the Mexico City edition — and it was not one event. It was three productions on one scope: two rehearsal days, an awards ceremony, and two days of conference programming.

Each has a different audience and a different failure mode. The awards ceremony is the reputational moment for winners and sponsors; miss the moment and there is no second take. The conference is the content the industry watches afterwards, which means it has to survive being clipped, quoted and replayed.

All of it sat inside a single video scope, feeding room screens and two concurrent live streams, with a budget that moved during planning. At any moment the audience watching remotely outnumbered the audience in the hall. The job was to hold one clean program feed for both.

Direct and mix a single program feed clean enough to drive room screens and two live streams at the same time — covering the awards ceremony with enough angles that no winner's moment falls outside frame, running an independent interview stream without drawing crew or bandwidth away from the main program, recording the finished program and camera ISOs locally so the archive never depends on the stream surviving, and distributing the directed program back to reference screens in the hall so the in-room audience watches the same cut as the remote one.
