Don’t risk your event. Use a trusted event partner.
The best technology deserves the best people
Technology is changing on an almost daily basis. So too are the techniques used for designing events.
With new creative design, technical production, and audience engagement techniques, the potential to create truly remarkable events is huge.
In fact, thanks to technology and industry innovation, there has never been more opportunity for event organisers to make their mark with a cutting edge event.
However, as events become more sophisticated, production planning becomes more important and the use of 3D walkthroughs, renders, and CAD plans essential. You need the right expertise is to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Specialist stage managers, show callers, skilled operators and set-up/pack-down technicians can all be required to deliver an exceptional event. Not only this but all specialists must be able to work together to create an integrated and seamless outcome.
This is why it is important, when designing your event, to meet with a trusted event staging company.
Event technology is often only as good as the professional designers and operators behind it.
Why you need a trusted event staging partner
The right event staging company can work with you to craft your event from the ground up.
Expert event designers can outline what is possible with today’s technology. They can identify new technologies and show you how to use them to enhance your event.

The risks of subpar event companies
You only get one chance when staging a live event.
Unfortunately, it’s often not until the day of the event, that event organisers realise that corners have been cut. It’s during peak periods that technology either shines or collapses in an embarrassing heap.
Many companies market themselves well, but under the surface they lack the expertise, knowledge, and skills to deliver.
Subpar event companies often feature:
- Inferior brand technologies
- A lack of experience
- Non-specialist technicians
- Ineffective production processes
- Inexperienced project managers
As the adage goes: you get what you pay for.
If a company’s quote sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Live events provide many challenges. If an event is not properly planned, then systems can and do fail. Experience and knowledge are vital in ensuring that this does not happen.
When designing and planning an event, a credible event staging company will identify and reduce any risks. They’ll minimise the potential for errors. And, they’ll ensure that everything goes to plan.
How to spot an unreliable service provider
You wouldn’t hire a new employee without reading their resume, conducting an interview, and checking their references. Hiring an audio visual or event staging company should be no different.
Before contracting a company, ask them who their major clients are and how long they’ve been working with them. Have them provide you with references too.
Also ask: do you have a documented production process? Can you show me an outline of your workflow? How do you design and manage events?
If they cannot provide you with answers to these questions, or if they cannot supply you with references from previous projects, it may be wise to choose another company.
Note: you can also check their website for case studies.
