If you haven’t already heard about UNTETHERED, here’s a quick overview: it’s a unique series of events that brings together event professionals to inspire and empower each other.
Our CEO, Laurel Miller, actively participates in the group, and when the pandemic blew up plans for the fall hybrid happening she jumped in to help her colleagues test something new: the UNTETHERED Studio Tours.
As part of the 180 from a 3-day hybrid to a 1-day virtual event on September 9, we’re hosting the inaugural studio tour and will be live streaming from our studio. We’ll be showcasing several techniques for elevating your virtual or hybrid event’s production value, and look forward to seeing you there!

You’ll find great resources and discussions for where the industry is at today — all part of UNTETHERED’s aim to have us co-create the future of events.
Like so many others in the industry, Seamless went from sensing a comeback with in-person events to feeling that the COVID-19 Delta variant is causing another setback. As Laurel wrote in her recent blog, Limbo for the Event Industry, Again: “I’m grateful for this sense of community, which feels like a safety net underneath the tightrope of uncertainty.”
Join us at our Studio Tour as we celebrate event planners’ continued resilience and ability to rise to today’s complex challenges. And feel free to explore some of our top resources for handling hybrid and virtual events with your AV partner.
Hope to see you there!

Client Spotlight: TechFestNW 2021
No risk, no reward: when you decide to live stream the majority of your virtual event, your production better be on-point. Our featured client, TechfestNW, knew that preparation, compelling content, rehearsals and lots of polish would keep their audience engaged. Learn how they maintained momentum throughout their day-long symposium — and why they needed an AV partner with experience executing complex virtual events.
Client Spotlight: National Trust for Historic Preservation
If you’re looking for tips to make your virtual event a winner, don’t miss this snapshot of success! When the pandemic struck, our featured client chose to pivot their annual in-person conference to virtual despite some initial concerns. Their 2020 event was so well-received they’re going virtual again in 2021 — and we look forward to helping them make their second large-scale virtual gathering even better than their first!
Client Spotlight: MOZCON Virtual 2020
Smart AV choices can make or break any event, especially ones that have a virtual element. Take a look at how one of our clients jumped in and created such a successful virtual event that their audience demanded more of the same in 2021!
Together with our client, we did a fast pivot to take MozCon 2020 from its usual live, three-day format to a virtual experience that would make attendees feel they’d gained, not lost, from the shift. Moz was determined to be among the first to host a large-scale virtual conference.
