In March 2024, the vibrant South Bank of London became the focal point of global discussions on happiness and wellbeing, thanks to the World Happiness Summit (WOHASU). MAITRIX Productions was at the helm of capturing and broadcasting this pivotal event, employing a wide array of multimedia techniques to ensure the summit’s messages reached a worldwide audience.

The Challenge

The World Happiness Summit gathers thought leaders, activists, and practitioners from around the globe to explore the science and philosophy behind happiness. The challenge was not just to capture the speeches but to convey the atmosphere, the interactions, and the profound impacts of the discussions—a task perfectly suited to the capabilities of MAITRIX Productions.
