The film that opens a congress has one job and one chance. It plays on a screen you have not seen, to a room that has just sat down, on a deadline that does not move.
International congresses, society meetings, symposia and trade events — opening films, session bumpers, award and sponsor segments, and the making-of that keeps the film working after the event.
We need the technical rider — resolution, aspect, audio, playback system — early. A film delivered in the wrong format is a film that does not play, and no amount of production value survives that.

Congress deadlines are the one kind that genuinely cannot move, so the earlier this starts the better the film gets.
