Conference Filming in Manchester
You’ve spent months planning your conference. We make sure the best of it lives on after the day: keynotes, panel sessions, attendee interviews and a highlight film you can use to promote next year’s event.
Forshaw Media is an award-winning video production company based in Manchester city centre. We film conferences, summits and seminars for businesses, associations and event organisers across Greater Manchester and the wider UK.
What we film at conferences
Keynotes and presentations. Multi-camera coverage of speakers, with clean audio taken from the venue’s sound desk or our own kit, and slides cut into the edit.
Panel discussions and Q&A. Several speakers, several angles, and the audience reaction that makes a session worth watching.
Attendee and speaker interviews. Short, well-lit talking-head interviews filmed on the day, with sponsor backdrops or branding if you want them.
Highlight and recap films. A fast, branded summary for your website, LinkedIn and sponsors, usually 1 to 3 minutes long.
Social media clips. Short vertical and square cuts, with captions, for the moments your audience will share. Next-day turnaround is available upon request.
Event photography. Edited photos of speakers, delegates, branding and networking, from the same crew in the same booking. See photography.
Multi-day and multi-room events. We plan crew and kit around your schedule so every session you need is covered, including parallel tracks.
Hybrid events and live streaming. Stream the main room to remote delegates, with graphics and a clean multi-camera feed. See live streaming.
What you get
Session recordings. Full-length edits of the sessions you choose, ready for your members area, YouTube or an on-demand library.
A highlight film. A short film that sums up the event and sells the next one.
Social content. Clips cut for LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook, so your event keeps working after the day.
Photos. A gallery for press releases, sponsors and your next brochure.
Optional extras. Drone shots of an outdoor venue, interviews with VIPs and sponsors, animated lower thirds and titles, and captions or subtitles for accessibility.
How a conference shoot works
1. Brief. We talk through your agenda, venue and audience, and what the content is for: promotion, sponsors, members or training.
2. Planning. We review the running order and the venue’s audio, lighting and access. We agree which sessions to record in full, which speakers to interview and what branding to include. We’ll also plan a venue recce if needed.
3. On the day. A crew sized to your event, from one videographer to a multi-camera team, with professional audio and lighting. We arrive early to set up, stay out of the way during sessions and keep an eye on timings.
4. Editing and delivery. We edit session recordings, the highlight film and social clips, and share drafts for your feedback. Final files come in the formats you need.
How much does conference filming cost in Manchester?

How much does conference filming cost?
The best way to get an accurate figure is to share the date, venue, number of rooms and what you want delivered.
How many cameras do we need for a conference?
It depends on the room and what you want. For a single-room event, two or three cameras give a polished multi-angle result. For multiple rooms or a larger production, we’ll scope the crew to fit.
Can you get audio from the venue's sound system?
Yes, where the venue allows it. We can take a feed from the sound desk and back it up with our own mics, so speakers are always clear. We’ll check this with the venue before the day.
How quickly can we get social clips and highlights?
Typical delivery times are 2-3 weeks after the event. If you need content while the event is still running, tell us in advance and we’ll plan the crew and edit around it. Next-day delivery is also an option if planned in advance.
Do you film conferences outside Manchester?
Yes. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, Liverpool and Cheshire, and travel elsewhere in the UK. Travel costs may be applied for events further afield, but this will be transparently communicated during the planning stages.
Can you live stream the conference as well?
Yes. We can stream to YouTube, LinkedIn or your own platform, with a live multi-camera feed and graphics. See live streaming.
Can you add branding and captions?
Yes. We add logos, speaker lower thirds, sponsor slides and captions or subtitles, so the finished videos match your brand and are accessible.
