Live Event Showcase

HearVue began its movement in September 2019 with the launch of this website.

The five-month period from October 2019 through to March 2020 introduced captioning to dozens of live events that had never experienced it before, a few of which are included below. It was wonderful to be associated with such outstanding organizations, all deeply committed to diversity and inclusion. Thousands of attendees were wowed, buzz was generated, and a cultural shift was taking place.

COVID-19 provided the unexpected occasion to reflect on the significant gains made by HearVue.

Our First Event – Michelle Obama

HearVue’s first event was “An Evening With Former First Lady Michelle Obama” in October 2019 in the Founder’s hometown of Hamilton, ON. Due to the short notice, this was a trial display of Live Event Captioning on one monitor only. Security restrictions did not permit HearVue to take any photos of the captioning, but it was great to increase accessibility for some of the attendees who raved about the captioning!

Archangel Summit

This full-day event is an annual gathering of mission-driven entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals who want to do well by doing good. In their words, it is a mix between a business show and a rock concert. HearVue was delighted to provide captioning for the event across all monitors.
