Webcasting, like StudioCast, is a comprehensive virtual classroom solution that goes beyond the capabilities of a typical video conferencing platform.
On the other hand, video conferencing platforms focus more on real-time communication and collaboration between participants.

PQM.net, Official Webcaster of ALL IN for the 4th Year: A Look Back at Canada's Biggest AI Event
10,000 ATTENDEES, +50 COUNTRIES, TWO MAIN STAGES: PQM.NETDEMONSTRATED HOW LARGE ORGANIZATIONS CAN DELIVER VIRTUAL AND HYBRID EVENTS WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
10,000 ATTENDEES, +50 COUNTRIES, TWO MAIN STAGES: PQM.NETDEMONSTRATED HOW LARGE ORGANIZATIONS CAN DELIVER VIRTUAL AND HYBRID EVENTS WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
On September 16 and 17, the fourth edition of ALL IN brought a record number of attendees to the Palais des congrès de Montréal to explore artificial intelligence and the technologies transforming organizations.
Webcasting partner and exhibitor since ALL IN's very first edition, PQM.net used the event to demonstrate how organizations can address the emerging challenges of virtual and hybrid events. Behind the technology demonstrations and AI discussions, three questions came up consistently at the PQM.net booth.
What Visitors Wanted to Know
1. Does our data stay in Canada? The question of sovereignty and security
For government departments, public agencies, financial institutions, and large enterprises, the question is no longer simply whether data is protected.
Organizations want to know where it is hosted, who has access to it, and what certifications can demonstrate this. In many sectors, these criteria are now as important as a platform's functionality.
In this context, PQM.net's ISO/IEC 27001 certification and its role as the official webcasting provider for the Government of Quebec provide organizations managing strategic communications and sensitive information with concrete assurances.

2. How can a multilingual audience be reached without complicating the experience?
Events today reach increasingly diverse audiences, yet delivering a multilingual experience often remains costly and operationally complex.
Since ALL IN's inaugural edition in 2023, organizers (Scale AI and Mila) have used StudioCast.Ai to make conference sessions accessible in both French and English through simultaneous audio translation and real-time subtitling.
Integrated directly into the StudioCast.ca streaming platform, this solution allows attendees to select their preferred language without leaving the viewing experience.
For organizations hosting assemblies, conferences, symposiums, or corporate events, this means a single event can now reach multiple audiences simultaneously, without multiplying infrastructure or production teams.

3. How can high-quality broadcasting be delivered at scale?
The need for comprehensive, end-to-end support — from planning through live broadcast to post-event content availability — was another recurring theme in conversations with visitors.
Visitors were not simply looking for a platform to learn and manage on their own; they wanted a fully supported solution backed by a dedicated team.
This requirement is accompanied by a further challenge: maintaining impeccable video quality when thousands of users are watching the same broadcast simultaneously.
With this in mind, PQM.net announced a strategic partnership with Hive Streaming on the opening day of ALL IN.
This partnership integrates Hive Streaming's peer-to-peer distribution technology into PQM.net's webcasting solutions, enabling the delivery of 4K video content across corporate networks without congestion or strain on existing infrastructure.
In practice, this means the quality captured on-site or in-studio is the same quality received by the remote viewer, even when thousands of employees or participants are watching the same broadcast at once.
What ALL IN 2026 Reveals About the Future of Events
ALL IN 2026 highlighted the evolving priorities of organizations: communicating more securely, more accessibly, and more effectively.
Organizations are now seeking:
- secure, compliant platforms that host data in Canada;
- multilingual, accessible experiences;
- professional-grade video quality at scale;
- comprehensive service for the delivery of virtual and hybrid events.
See You in 2027
Mark your calendars: September 22 and 23, 2027, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, for the fifth edition of ALL IN — already shaping up to be a must-attend event for organizations seeking to understand and anticipate technological change.
