A day in the life of an event operations team
4 min readThe Ấn Tượng team
The audience sees three hours of show. The operations team lives with it for almost twenty.
Early morning: venue handover
The technical crew arrives very early to take over the venue, build the stage frame, hang lights and run signal cables to the approved drawings.
“If the audience never noticed a single problem, the operations team did its job.”
Afternoon: full rehearsal
The MC, artists and speakers run through the script. Every sound, lighting and video cue is checked again with the show director.
Evening: the show and load-out
During the show, radios are the main line between departments. As soon as guests leave, load-out begins so the venue is handed back on time.
