When the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) brings its Annual Meeting to town, it’s not just another conference. It’s the most prestigious gathering in cardiothoracic surgery. The event brings together global leaders, innovators, and the next generation of surgeons in one place to share breakthroughs, technology, and ideas shaping the future of the field.
An East Coast production company brought in our Seattle video production and content creation company to provide on-the-ground video coverage of the AATS Annual Meeting at the Seattle Convention Center. Over two of the three event days, we focused on capturing interviews and cinematic b-roll that told the story of the conference: its people, its energy, and its impact.
Built for Conference Video Coverage from Every Angle
We worked as a three-person crew at the AATS Annual Meeting, designed for efficiency in fast-moving conference environments. Our scope included:
- Interviews with leaders in cardiothoracic surgery, from legends of the field to rising stars
- B-roll coverage of presentations, breakout sessions, and cutting-edge cardiothoracic technology
- Atmosphere and context, capturing the scale and momentum of a world-class medical meeting
Conferences are a lot by nature. Schedules are packed, speakers rotate quickly, and some of the best moments happen in between sessions. We thrive in that environment. We’re grinders who love maximizing every shoot day; anticipating moments, moving fast, and making sure nothing important slips by.
Highlight Videos from the AATS Annual Meeting
The production company we partnered with handled post-production, while our role was to capture the raw interviews and supporting visuals. Two examples from the event include:
- AATS President Video – Featuring Emile Bacha, promoting the upcoming AATS Annual Meeting in Chicago and reinforcing the organization’s global leadership in cardiothoracic surgery.
- AATS Foundation Awardee Feature – Highlighting a scholarship recipient and emerging leader in the field, showcasing the Foundation’s investment in the future of cardiothoracic care.
These kinds of assets are exactly why conferences are a gold mine for high-value content. Everyone you’d want to interview or capture on camera is conveniently in one place.
Conference Video Production in Seattle and Beyond
While this project focuses on our work at the AATS Annual Meeting, the approach applies to any conference or large-scale event. We support:
- Conference hosts documenting their flagship event
- Sponsors and exhibitors creating polished video assets
- Organizations and attendees who want to capture interviews, announcements, or storytelling content
We shoot locally in Seattle and regularly travel for conferences in places like Las Vegas and San Diego. Whether it’s a medical meeting, industry summit, or multi-day trade show, we’re built for the pace and complexity of conference video production.
If you’re planning an upcoming conference and want to make the most of everyone being in one room at one time, we’d love to help. Contact us through call, text, or email — whatever is easiest for you. And be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Vimeo to see more of our video creations.
