How Can a Global Forum Elevate Its Impact with High-Speed Video Production?
Case Study: Understanding Risk Forum 2024 – World Bank
Understanding Risk (UR), established in 2010, is a global community of approximately 20,000 members, dedicated to creating, communicating, and utilizing disaster risk information for resilience. The forum brings together experts from the public sector, NGOs, private sector, and academia to share knowledge and foster innovation in disaster risk management (DRM).
The 2024 Understanding Risk Forum (UR24) was held in Himeji, Japan, ahead of the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 2025. This event showcased a fusion of Japan’s rich traditions, history, and innovation, creating an engaging platform for experts worldwide. By leveraging corporate event videography in Japan and international conference video coverage, UR24 aimed to enhance its global reach and impact through high-quality event video production.
