Stream Live Events with Wowza and Rackspace Cloud
Have a live event that needs to be streamed to a small audience or to the world? Or setting up recurring live events to broadcast via your site?
Video streaming — whether live or on-demand — has become a powerful way for organizations of all sizes to engage with their audiences. Seminars, classes, speaker presentations, concerts, sports events, sermons, you name it — so many different types of events leverage streaming to reach broader audiences.
But where do you start? What software or hardware or technical expertise do you need to stream?
Join our next Works With Wowza™ webinar series to get great tips. We will be highlighting a real case example of how TourGigs.com set up their streaming infrastructure to get new business. Based in Austin, TX, TourGigs is an in-house production and distribution company that makes live concert videos available for purchase within days of the actual filming.

Blastro Networks' content is spread across three genre-specific sites (Blastro.com, Roxwel.com & Yallwire.com) and is viewed by over 20 million people each month on Hulu, Verizon Fios TV, Roku & Dailymotion.
