BCPVA Meeting – Feb 25th 2020 – Choosing Insurance & Multicam Production with OBS

This month we are covering two topics. One is so fundamental to keeping your business and lively hood safe it should never be under planned, and that is of course, insurance. Our other presentation is on the topic of multicam production with the pretty cool Open Broadcast Software, and how it could help you expand your production repertoire. One business essential and one business builder, don’t miss it!

MAIN PRESENTATION

Presented by Shawn Lam

Are you properly insured?  Chances are there are some really big gaps in your insurance and that isn’t a good thing.  Shawn Lam is going to discuss his recent journey to fill an insurance gap that opened in his coverage and how what he learned can help you get the most coverage for your insurance dollars.  Topics will include the different types of insurance coverages, sample policies that might be a fit for your business, and the policies that Shawn rejected and the ones he ultimately purchased.
