# What has to already be true.

> Singapore notes on hybrid AGMs, live streams, bilingual captions and hotel AV — what has to already be true before show day.

*Canonical URL: https://interframe.sg/insights*

Notes on failure modes, hybrid AGMs, captions, and the in-house versus external call — written so a comms lead or IR manager can walk the chain with whoever is running the show.

These are the questions we get before a quote. They sit behind the [service pages](https://interframe.sg/#services) rather than instead of them: a format page says how we run a kind of event; an insight names the specific thing that has to already be true for that event to survive the day.
