There’s something powerful about bringing people together for a multi-day conference. Whether it’s in person, online, or somewhere in between, these events create momentum, spark new conversations, and drive shared vision.
And more and more, that experience is moving online.
From church networks and ministry summits to leadership retreats and hybrid conferences, the demand for reliable, high-quality streaming has never been higher. But streaming a single session is one thing. Streaming an entire event across multiple days, platforms, and even locations? That’s a different challenge altogether.
Here’s how to make your next multi-day conference not only work—but work well—with the help of Resi.
Start with a platform that won’t crack under pressure
Before you finalize your speaker list or event schedule, make sure your streaming service is built for mission-critical events. Resi is designed specifically for moments like these, using its patented Resilient Streaming Protocol (RSP) to eliminate the risk of buffering, dropouts, and network interruptions—even if your connection fails mid-stream.
With RSP, your streams are captured, preserved, and delivered with perfect playback, regardless of what happens in real time. That means no awkward pauses, no pixelated feeds, and no disappointed viewers.
Whether you’re live streaming to your website, church app, YouTube, or Facebook, Resi’s infrastructure is built to scale—so your audience can grow by the hundreds or thousands without any dip in quality.
Think beyond the main sessions
A conference isn’t just a sequence of talks—it’s an experience. The best events create a rhythm, where sessions, transitions, and downtime all feel intentional and connected.
Resi makes it easy to plan and deliver that flow with tools—like Resi On Demand—that support scheduled pre-rolls, on-demand content, and seamless switching between live and pre-recorded video. Map out every moment: from keynote speakers and worship sets to breakout discussions and buffer videos.
If you’re streaming to multiple physical locations, Resi’s Multisite Streaming ensures your entire network stays in sync—delivering ultra-reliable video with frame-accurate timing, even across campuses or time zones. No satellite trucks. No delays. Just dependable content distribution at scale.
Don’t just stream—invite people to participate
Your audience wants more than just a front-row seat—they want a way in.
Use Resi’s QRClick to bridge the gap between your stream and real-time engagement. With one scan, attendees can join polls, respond to calls-to-action, sign up for follow-ups, or download additional content—without ever leaving your stream. It’s a low-friction way to boost interaction without overloading your moderators.
Layer on chat features, live Q&A, or embedded forms to keep the conversation going. You can also use SMS or email reminders between days—Resi integrates easily with communication tools to help you keep people coming back.
Treat every day like game day
When you’re streaming live, the margin for error is razor thin. Viewers are watching from across the country—or even the globe—and they expect a smooth, high-quality experience every time.
Resi’s platform includes failover and backup systems built into the streaming process, giving you the kind of redundancy you didn’t know you needed—until you absolutely do. So whether it’s Day 1 or Day 3, you can stream with confidence.
And yes, always run a rehearsal. Even if your speakers would rather wing it.
Maximize your content after the event ends
The end of your conference doesn’t have to be the end of its impact. With Resi, your stream can be instantly available as on-demand content for replay hubs, digital passes, or follow-up series.
Gate access to certain sessions, create highlight reels, or use your recorded sessions to fuel marketing for next year’s event. You can even embed QRClick codes directly into your replay content to drive continued engagement, donor messaging, or personalized offers.
Measure what matters—and plan your next move
Once the final session ends, it’s time to dig into the data. Resi’s analytics dashboard gives you clear insights into viewer behavior, engagement trends, and stream performance across the board. See when people tuned in, how long they stayed, and what content resonated most.
You can also gather direct feedback with post-event surveys or informal social outreach. Then use what you learn to fine-tune the next one.
