The work

Every conference session, turned into content

Intersolar & Energy Storage North America is one of the largest solar and energy storage events in the US, organized by Diversified Communications. The 2026 flagship in San Diego brought together 314 exhibiting companies and a 28-session conference program. 7 Hills Productions filmed and edited the event's video for the organizer.

Alongside the event highlights and testimonials, the organizer wanted content that outlives the show. Before the event, each speaker was given one focused question tied to their session, from data center interconnection to financing after the ITC change. We booked short slots right after their sessions and filmed each answer in a quiet concourse outside the conference rooms, with branded lower thirds added in the edit.

The result is 42 films with 16 experts, from the executive directors of CALSSA, VGIC and the Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance to the CEOs of 127 Energy, TerraFlow Energy and Wells Energy Development, plus exhibitors and attendees we met on the floor. Because each clip answers one question, the library is organized by topic below, the way the conference tracks were.

On larger events we run several crews at once: one on the floor and stages, one on interviews and sound bites, plus photography. When content is needed while the doors are still open, we edit on site.

What an event organizer walks away with

Sessions that keep working after the show. A one-hour panel becomes short clips you can post all year.
Speakers who share it. Each expert gets a branded clip worth posting, which puts your event in front of their audience.
Next year's exhibitor pitch, already shot. Testimonials about the decision-makers in the room and the deals getting done sell booths and sponsorships.
Content organized by track. Clips map to conference topics, ready for newsletters, track pages and social calendars.
