Who are The National Press Club?
The National Press Club is a world-renowned venue in Washington, D.C., offering a state-of-the-art studio for live event production. From government briefings to major scientific announcements, the National Press Club's Studio has hosted a wide range of high-profile events.
One recent project saw the National Press Club partner with WorkCast to deliver a complex live broadcast for a leading global scientific organisation, bringing together professional in-room production with secure, scalable online delivery.
The Goal
The client - a leading global scientific organisation - needed to host a high-profile, public-facing event that would attract an international audience of scientists, policymakers, and industry leaders. The stakes were high: the content needed to be visually compelling, flawlessly delivered, and highly accessible.
They set out to:
- Elevate production quality beyond a typical webinar by using a professional broadcast studio.
- Engage a dispersed, global audience while keeping the in-room experience seamless for presenters.
- Protect sensitive content with enterprise-level security and compliance.
- Minimise technical complexity for the event team, presenters, and attendees.
By combining the National Press Club Studio with WorkCast’s secure, scalable platform, the client aimed to blend in-person prestige with online accessibility, delivering a premium event experience from the studio floor to the viewer’s screen.
The Solution
To meet the client’s requirements, the event was produced live from the National Press Club Studio - a facility designed for broadcast-grade productions.
In the studio, the National Press Club production team delivered:
- Seamless multi-platform presenter connections, synchronising audio and video to professional broadcast standards.
- Custom-designed backgrounds and framing tailored to the event’s theme and brand identity.
- Lower-third graphics to clearly introduce speakers and provide on-screen context, adding a polished, television-style feel.
- Picture-in-picture layouts that kept presentations personal and dynamic, combining live speaker feeds with slides, data, and video.
- The ability to mix presentations, graphics, and live action in real time for maximum visual impact.
- Enterprise-grade security and compliance, protecting sensitive content.
- Scalability to handle a large, geographically diverse audience without compromising quality.
- Browser-based access for attendees - no downloads, no barriers.
- On-demand replay to extend reach and ensure those who missed the live broadcast could still benefit from the content.
Impact
This smooth handoff from the National Press Club Studio production to WorkCast streaming delivered a flawless experience for both presenters and viewers, creating a repeatable blueprint for future events.
