Why Hire an Audio Visual Lead for Your Next Event?
When you're planning an event, there are a lot of details to track.
We may be biased, but in our opinion, one of the most important details is the AV.
The audio visuals can make or break an event. Errors and delays caused by technology will stand out in your attendees’ minds. So it's important to hire a professional AV lead to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Here are a few reasons why you should hire an AV lead for your next event:
They have the experience and expertise. Audio Visual leads typically have years of experience setting up and running their equipment for all types of events from small meetings to large conferences, weddings to fundraisers, movie nights to cocktail parties. They know what it takes to create a professional looking and sounding event — and they'll be able to troubleshoot any last minute or unexpected changes.
They have the equipment. The right AV team has access to not only the latest AV equipment like projectors, sound systems, and lighting, but they’ll be able to choose the right equipment for your event’s specific needs and set it up in a way that maximizes its impact.
They'll take care of the details. An onsite AV lead with their team will take care of all the details of setting up and running the various AV needs during your event. This includes things like setting up the equipment, testing the sound and video, running rehearsals with your presenters, interacting with the venue team, handling any last minute changes, and troubleshooting any and everything that can happen.
They'll make sure your event goes off without a hitch. The right audio visual lead is a professional who will be dedicated to making sure your event goes off without a hitch. From pre-event planning and production calls right through execution and removal of equipment after the event is over, they'll work with you to create a production plan that accounts for the unique needs of your event.
If you're planning an event, we don’t recommend taking the AV elements for granted.
While you may have someone on your team that is a bit more “techy” than the rest, they might not have the experience and knowledge to be successful in this area. They likely have other skills of their every-day job that are needed during the event so having them wear the “AV hat” that day might not be fair to them either.
We recommend hiring a professional AV team with a strong lead to ensure that your overall event is a success.
