The content engine
behind Devcon 8.
Five stages at once, an interview studio, community rooms, a VIP room, a floor full of unscripted moments and a night programme. Blockwee builds a dedicated capture system around all eleven, with live editing on the ground for the full four days.
Devcon does not happen in one room. It happens in eleven, at the same time.
A single crew rotating between stages misses the talk in the next hall, the demo on the floor, the conversation in the corridor and the whole night programme. What survives is a thin highlight reel that arrives three weeks late.
The approach is the opposite: a permanent crew in every zone, an edit suite on site, and content leaving the building while the event is still running.
