Exactly, and why Baselworld needs to step it up.

They do have a live blog on the basel Website.
Blog? Umm, that's soooo 10 years ago LOL
FYI i was 'blogging' online over 20 years ago.

Wow, so Baselworld doesn't have a Facebook live, a Ustream account, perhaps Livestream, heck even Twitch (tho 'wrong' venue for such a stream).

Of course they could be like NYFW, which did a venue live stream plus live stream off-location presentations, and they of course have their own live stream service (per se). Imagine the epic interviews, manufacture-supplied new videos, info, pics, etc they could live stream to the world.

Funny, maybe they are waiting for AR / VR? But how many guys here have setups to properly experience VR / AR? So yeah, at least old old flat surface 1080 stream would be a nice touch, plus benefit their exhibitors and enthusiasts alike.

Why don't YOU send via satellite when you are so high tech?

Thanks for asking, great point and actually had a complete pro live streaming studio. Gave it up for modern VR / AR development. If you want to see some of my live streaming work, here, enjoy a nice authentic blues concert two-day event i live streamed... in 2014.

PS: Sadly, it was also the last video interview / live concert Mighty Sam McClain gave, as he passed away soon after the concert event :(

They have an app too but its not great.

SIHH had a full studio area to live stream to YouTube and publish videos but no-one gave a crap about it which was odd.
