Speakers & sessions
Who is presenting, where they enter and what each segment requires.
Event production
Event production planned around the room, schedule and program.
A live program has its own timing, speakers, presentation content and venue constraints. Good planning starts by understanding how those pieces need to work together before event day.
- Program schedule
- Presentation content
- Stage and room layout
- Audience sightlines
- Recording requirements
Program first
Start with the program, not the equipment.
A conference, leadership meeting and association program can all require different production decisions. The useful starting point is the run of show, the people presenting, the room, the content being shown and any recording requirements.
- Where visual displays belong
- How presentation content should be handled
- When transitions need to happen
- What the audience needs to see
- What should be recorded
- How much setup time the venue allows
Program coordination
The schedule affects more than timing.
Transitions between speakers, presentations, panels and breaks can change what needs to appear in the room and what may need to be recorded.
Presentation content
Which presentations, videos or visual assets need to appear during the program.
Room & stage
Where the audience sits, where presenters stand and where displays are most useful.
Recording needs
Which sessions, interviews or moments need to be captured when video is part of the scope.
Venue walkthrough
The room changes the production plan.
The same program can require different decisions in a hotel ballroom, office, auditorium or association venue. Access, seating, stage position, sightlines and available setup time all affect how the production should be approached.
- Venue access
- Load-in window
- Room dimensions
- Stage position
- Audience layout
- Screen visibility
- Camera positions when required
Before doors open
A short rehearsal can reveal problems before the room is full.
When the project and schedule allow, walking through key transitions can help confirm presentation timing, speaker movement, screen content and recording positions before the live program begins.
- Speaker entrances
- Presentation cues
- Content changes
- Panel transitions
- Camera positions
- Timing between program segments
