Sardius Media Powers Gather25

Digifora

Sardius Media was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. It exists to make mission-driven broadcasting and online event planning easier and more engaging. This is done through its first-in-class media platform as well as elite support from its experienced team of veteran software engineers and event specialists. Learn more at sardius.media. Sardius Media Powers Gather25 Sardius Media helped broadcast Gather25 for a non-stop 25-hour marathon on March 1, 2025. In that time, seven million Christians tuned in from around the globe. The event marked the debut and first full-scale test of Sardius Media’s AWS Elemental Anywhere, which amplified the reach of the event to 225 countries, providing live streaming and real-time AI and human interpretation in 87 different languages. The Global Impact of Gather25 Gather25 made history as an unprecedented 25-hour global broadcast uniting millions of Christians in prayer, worship, repentance, and commissioning. The broadcast streamed live sessions from seven locations in the United States, New Zealand, Malaysia, Romania, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, and Peru. This reached an audience of over 3.1 million unique users and over 21,000 self-organized gatherings (with a potential group reach of over seven million). These included a Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi and 5,000 individuals gathered outdoors in Cebu City, Philippines. Notably, 117,000 U.S. prison inmates participated through the PandoApp from God Behind Bars. Amy Bay, Executive Director of Gather25, said, “What we saw at Gather25 was a picture of heaven — believers from every nation, tribe, and language coming together with one mission: to make Jesus known. We are so grateful to the Sardius team for the broadcast technology to pull it all together; it wouldn’t have happened without them.” Jonathan Sheehan (Future City Now, Renewed Vision), the producer of the event, said, "For decades, I’ve been producing large-scale events, and by any measure, Gather25 was a monumental undertaking. The sheer scope of the event, paired with the complexity of the technological challenges, demanded more than just vendors—we needed true partners. That’s exactly what we found in the Sardius team. Their skilled professionals dove into the trenches with us, collaborating tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The resulting millions who joined the event is a testament to a great partnership.” Architecting a Historical Broadcast Sardius Media was presented with a complex challenge to deliver a seamless broadcast delivery experience to this large global audience. In addition, they had to support real-time translation of AI and human interpretation in 87 different languages with a wide array of delivery options, including live interpreters, AI closed captions, voice interpretation, and core broadcast streams. Encoding numerous concurrent streams for such a long broadcast was a unique challenge, as well. The Sardius Team came together with event partner Future City Now to develop a global design aesthetic for the event. This incorporated complex workflows to seamlessly deliver the right content to the right audience in real time. Sardius Media accomplished this by leveraging AWS’s new Elemental MediaLive Anywhere product for its first large-scale deployment. They collaborated closely with the AWS team to ensure flawless performance and maintained this even when the popular Bible App YouVersion notified 36 million users to join the event, leading to a robust response. The AWS-powered streaming infrastructure managed the complexities without skipping a beat, delivering a resilient, scalable live stream for more than a full day and carrying the hope-filled message of Gather25 to every corner of the earth. Overcoming Unexpected Challenges With Agility and Innovation One challenge from Gather25 demonstrated the Sardius Media team’s agility in implementing its solutions and adapting to real-time barriers. Less than 24 hours before the event, the main fiber circuit into the studio master control was severed by an unexpected car accident. Sardius Media swiftly coordinated with various partners, secured alternate internet solutions, and rerouted encoder traffic. This ensured the stream was ready on time. Other unexpected challenges arose during the live stream, but each was efficiently addressed by the experienced Sardius team. Jason Shore, co-founder of Sardius Media, reflected on the milestone achievement, saying, “Gather25 pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in live streaming. Our team’s ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver under pressure made this a defining moment — not just for us, but for the global Church.” Gather25 showcased Sardius Media’s leadership in live streaming for mission-driven events — and this is just the beginning. Upcoming product updates and their continued AWS partnership promise even more innovation for future gatherings. About Sardius Media Sardius Media was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. It exists to make mission-driven broadcasting and online event planning easier and more engaging.

Trending MemeFi Token Cutoshi (CUTO) Announces New Development, As Cutoshi Swap Website Goes Live

Cutoshi

Cutoshi (CUTO), one of the standout tokens in the MemeFi space, just hit a big milestone — the launch of its new platform, Cutoshi Swap. It’s designed to make trading crypto easier and more private by letting users swap tokens without having to connect a wallet. A Fresh Move for MemeFi Cutoshi has always mixed fun meme culture with real DeFi tools, which helped it grow a strong community. Now with Cutoshi Swap, it’s raising the bar again — offering a new way to trade across chains without the usual friction of wallet connections. The team behind the project said the platform is built to fix problems regular users face. Their words? “We’ve made something simple, with privacy in mind — multi-chain support, no wallet connect needed.” Why Cutoshi Swap Stands Out No Wallet Connection Needed You don’t need to connect your wallet to start swapping — this gives users more control and keeps things private. Supports Multiple Chains The platform isn’t stuck to just one chain. You can move your assets across different blockchains with ease. Very Few Restrictions They’re sticking to decentralization at its core — there’s no long list of banned tokens. That means more coins are usable here. Built for All Levels Whether you’re new to crypto or a DeFi pro, the interface is clean and easy to use. Part of a Bigger Plan This isn’t just a one-off feature. Cutoshi is building an ecosystem. Cutoshi Swap joins a growing list of tools under its belt, all built around transparency, community input, and pushing crypto forward — while keeping that meme vibe alive. One of the team members put it like this: “We think DeFi works best when users don’t have to jump through hoops. It should be simple, direct, and totally yours.” What is Cutoshi (CUTO)? Cutoshi is a MemeFi token — fun on the outside, serious on the inside. It blends meme culture with real utility, offering features like cross-chain transactions, non-custodial trading, and a reward system for its community. Its presale has already attracted people looking to join something that’s equal parts hype and value. Want to Dive In?

City of Seattle Partners with Comcast to Announce $3 Million in Grants to Local Small Business Owners

Comcast Pacific Northwest

Today, Comcast announced that it will award 100 small businesses in King County with over $3 million in monetary, marketing, and technology grants through the Comcast RISE program. Expanding upon Mayor Bruce Harrell’s recent announcement to help local businesses grow and succeed, Comcast RISE is supporting the growth of small businesses and entrepreneurs committed to uplifting their local communities with comprehensive grant packages that include a technology makeover, creative production, a media schedule, educational resources, a $5,000 monetary grant, and business consultation services. "Seattle wouldn’t be Seattle without our small businesses—they create jobs, build community, and add to the vibrancy of our neighborhoods,” said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. “From inflation to public safety concerns, I hear directly from business owners about the challenges they face and their desire to succeed here. That’s why we’re excited to welcome the Comcast Rise grant program back to not just Seattle, but all of King County — which offers more than just financial support, but critical investments in technology, marketing and operations to help businesses stabilize, grow and succeed. Our local economy depends on all of us —public and private sectors — working together and leveraging our resources to build a stronger and more resilient economy.” According to a U.S. Chamber of Commerce report last month, revenue concerns are surging as inflation remains a dominant challenge for small businesses. The concern for inflation reached a new high with 58% of small business owners reporting inflation as a top concern. Further, more than 1 in 3 small business owners are concerned about revenue, the highest share since 2021. “Small business owners are facing significant financial concerns and economic uncertainty, and we want to help,” said Rodrigo Lopez, Region Senior Vice President for Comcast in the Pacific Northwest. “Among the many things we all love about the greater Seattle area is our vibrant small businesses community and we strongly encourage small business owners to apply to Comcast RISE. This program is designed to give you the resources to help your business thrive and contribute to the economic growth and resilience of our community.” From May 1-31, eligible small businesses in King County can apply for the Comcast RISE program at www.ComcastRISE.com. Winners will be notified in August. Starting in April and throughout May, local small businesses can learn more about the Comcast RISE program, eligibility requirements, and how to apply by attending free information sessions being held by Comcast RISE community partner organizations, including the Bellevue Chamber, Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA ), Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, and Tabor 100. “When it comes to small businesses, we all know the challenges: we’ve seen the news, the closure notices, the boarded-up storefronts,” said Rachel Smith, president and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. “But there is good news on the horizon with another round of Comcast RISE grants and services to support Puget Sound region small businesses. Too many of our small businesses are on the bubble, and Comcast is serious about being part of the solution by offering financial support and technology services that help local businesses get a leg up. These businesses are the social fabric of our neighborhoods, and that’s why the Chamber is thrilled to be partnering with Comcast to help our members connect to this opportunity.” King County is one of five regions selected by Comcast in which 100 local businesses will be awarded the grant package. Other regions where small businesses will be awarded grant packages include Boston (MA), Grand Rapids (MI), Nashville (TN), and South Valley (UT). These recipients join the 14,000 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected as Comcast RISE recipients since the program launched in late 2020. Visit the Comcast RISE destination on the X1 platform for news, tips, insights, and more. Xfinity customers can say “Comcast RISE” into the X1 voice remote. Comcast RISE is part of Project UP, the company’s comprehensive initiative to create digital opportunity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities.
