Documenting the findings and outcomes of a conference or a meeting is often done by producing a written report. A video documentary of a conference can highlight the outcomes in a very engaging, even entertaining way. It can also be used to reach a wider audience by sharing it via social media.
georgetown media has specialised in short form conference documentaries, which feature interviews with speakers and participants as well as excerpts from the presentations. By interviewing the speakers on camera, they can provide a condensed and often more easy to understand version of their presentation.
