Pro bono broadcast for NGOs at conferences we already produce.
Creative Broadcast Agency runs a pro bono programme for qualifying non-government organisations, climate groups, humanitarian initiatives, and youth-led civic organisations attending major international conferences. We cover the live broadcast production. You keep your budget for the work that actually needs it.
This page explains what the programme covers, which NGOs qualify, and how to apply.
Capacity already on the ground.
When CBA is already producing at an international conference, we are there with crew, encoders, and connectivity. The incremental cost of extending that capacity to an NGO session in the same venue is a fraction of a standalone production.
For the NGO, it is the difference between a session with a volunteer holding a phone and a session broadcast to a global audience with multi-camera framing, branded lower thirds, live captions, and a recording they can use for the next 12 months. For us, it is active support for the work our most-recognised clients fund and attend.
We have produced secure conference broadcast for an international environmental law organisation, the YOUNGO daily broadcast at COP28, and the stand-up interview broadcast position at IRENA. The pro bono programme extends the same capability to organisations that would not otherwise reach broadcast-grade distribution.
Seven deliverables, all at no cost.

Four criteria, all required.
An organisation needs to meet all four.
1. Registered non-profit or NGO status in its home jurisdiction. Documentation requested at application.
2. Active programme at a qualifying conference CBA is already producing at. Our production calendar changes through the year, so we confirm eligibility per conference when you apply.
3. Session content aligned with CBA production standards. Public interest, research-led, or advocacy work on climate, energy transition, humanitarian response, human rights, or global development. We do not provide pro bono support for political campaigning or fundraising-only sessions without clear public-interest content.
4. Willingness to credit CBA in session materials and recordings. A standard "production by Creative Broadcast Agency" credit on the branded landing page, recording intro card, and social posts.
Three steps, 72-hour response.
Application is simple and we respond inside 72 hours.
1. Email info@creativebroadcast.ae with the subject line "Pro bono NGO application".
2. Include the following in the email body. Organisation name and registered status. Qualifying conference you are attending and confirmed session slot. Session title, format (panel, keynote, workshop), and expected duration. Names and affiliations of session speakers. Why broadcast delivery matters to your organisation goals.
3. Attach any scheduling confirmation or conference-issued session approval.
We reply with a decision and a session-scoping call if approved. The call runs 30 minutes and covers tech setup, speaker tech checks, and the run-of-show. For commercial NGO sessions outside the pro bono scope, see conference and summit production or talk to the team.

Which NGOs qualify for the CBA pro bono live streaming programme?
Four criteria, all required: registered non-profit or NGO status in your home jurisdiction, active programme at a qualifying conference CBA is already producing at, session content aligned with public-interest research or advocacy work (climate, energy transition, humanitarian, human rights, global development), and willingness to credit CBA in session materials and recordings. Political campaigning and fundraising-only sessions without clear public-interest content are not eligible.
Which conferences does the pro bono programme cover?
Conferences where CBA is already producing. Our production calendar changes through the year, so we confirm eligibility per conference when you apply. The pro bono programme works specifically because we are already on site at these events, so the incremental cost of extending broadcast capacity to an NGO session is a fraction of a standalone production.
What is included in the pro bono broadcast deliverable?
Multi-camera capture (2 to 3 cameras), professional audio with wireless lavaliers and dedicated audio engineer, live streaming to two platforms (YouTube + LinkedIn default, substitutions allowed), branded landing page carrying the NGO logo, English live captions, full broadcast-grade recording delivered within 48 hours, and a moderated live Q&A layer with post-session question summary.
How long does the pro bono application process take?
72 hours from email to decision. Email info@creativebroadcast.ae with subject "Pro bono NGO application", organisation details, qualifying conference and session slot, session title and format, speaker names and affiliations, and any scheduling confirmation. We reply with a decision and a 30-minute scoping call if approved.
Are multi-day NGO summits eligible for pro bono?
No. The pro bono programme covers single sessions up to 90 minutes. Multi-day NGO summits sit on a reduced-rate basis rather than full pro bono. We can scope a discounted multi-day engagement separately; contact us to discuss. Standalone NGO events at venues outside our active conference calendar are also outside scope.
Tell us the date, the venue and who is watching.
We scope every engagement against its run of show, not a package.
CBA produces event production services for conferences, launches and ceremonies across the Emirates and the GCC.
