Keys to Bringing an AV Provider on the Road
Even though you will be working with a familiar, trusted partner, it’s important to remember AV Chicago’s tips to ensure the success of your event.
- No matter where your event is, involving your AV provider from the outset allows them to assess, plan, and streamline event logistics. This also provides them ample time to determine whether they must conduct site visits if that is within the event budget.
- Concerning the budget, communicate with your provider about limitations and know that travel may incur additional costs. To ensure expectations align with the budget, AV Chicago discusses these considerations in advance so they can completely understand the budget and work creatively within it.
- Be clear concerning expectations. Discussing your vision or creative inspiration with your AV provider ahead of time gives them time to source equipment and staff locally and bring your ideas to life.
- Make sure to introduce your AV provider to your stakeholders, including the event venue, so they can work together. This way your provider will be aware and manage restrictions or limitations that could impact load-in, set-up, or operation.
