It is a question that concerns every event organizer. Light, sound and perhaps fireworks. These are just a few of the many factors that make up technical production. With the right technical production your even becomes a spectacle. On this page you can read out which factors the technical production of an event consists of and which you all must consider. Good technical production is a first step towards an unforgettable event. The location One of the first steps towards a successful event is choosing the right location for your event. Depending on what kind of event you are going to organize (live, business, fair), you will look for the best matching location. Keep in mind the atmosphere that you want to put down during your event, whether the location suits your audience and that you can clearly communicate your message to your audience with the location. Choosing the right location is decisive for success. So, take plenty of time here and let multiple locations pass by before you make aa decision. ALWAYS visit the location before you secure it. GPS surveying/disabling There are different kinds of events. For every event, whether you want to organize a live event, trade show or business event, it is important to map the terrain accurately. Are you planning to organize a live event? With the help of a GPS it is possible to measure the terrain of a new or existing festival site, so that there is a correct basis (with coordinates) for correct creating a CAD terrain map. After making the drawing, the terrain can be quickly and efficiently removed from stage to trash using the coordinates. You can also do this without GPS. A schematic drawing measuring the terrain. Even when you are going to organize a business event or a fair, it is necessary to accurately determine the area of the location (hall/halls). This way you can organize the available spaces and start with the external design of your event. Site production When the plans for the event are created and signed, you can proceed to site production. This includes tasks such as ordering stages, lighting, sound, toilets, tents, stage décor, fences, electricity and water to the actual layout of the festival grounds. It is important that deadlines, the budget and the design are monitored and overseen. Ensure that the site production is picked up by a whole team, so that the process runs accurately and in a structured manner. Decor When you have accurately measured the grounds/halls and you have completed the site production, you can switch to the external design. The external design largely determines the atmosphere you want to create with your event. The terrain and stage decor play an important role in this. A lot of attention needs to be paid to this. So, think carefully about what you want to convey with your event. If you want to come across as a business event or trade fair, then you go for a tight, businesslike look. The decor of a live event is usually provided with a completely different look. Stages When the décor is set, it can then be given form to the stage. No show without stage! Make a spectacular stage. After all, it is the central point of attention. Think again of what you want to radiate and shape your stage accordingly. In addition to the stage think of everything about the stage, such as sound towers, catwalks, backstage rooms, camera shelves etc. you can have a beautiful stage, but when the other facilities are not well organized, the event will never be a success make sure it is all right! Supplier Once you have mapped the terrain and have the set the stages, you can take the next step in the organization’s process for your event. What most people may not immediately associate with the technical production of an event, but what is certainly part of this, are the following factors: fencing, toilets, cash registers, tent floors, crush barriers, electricity, outdoor lightning and water. So, there are countless factors that you should consider as an event organization. During this process, coordination with suppliers is very important. Ensure that the agreements with the suppliers are clear and on paper. In the preparation of the event, meet with all parties involved at least once to ensure a clear alignment. Technical production Once the terrain has been divided and stages have been designed, the technical production of the event can be transferred. By ensuring good technical production you give your audience the unforgettable experience. For good technical production use is made of light, sound, rigging, truss and cable suppliers. With the presence of this technique, you immediately give your location a professional appearance. With the right technical production, you can create the atmosphere that suits the purpose of your event and your audience. This will differ per type of event, so keep this in mind. Technical production can make or crack your event. Let the amazing technical production be the icing on the cake for your event. This way you let the audience enjoy your beautiful show. Sitecrew An often-forgotten part of the technical production of events is the use of sitecrew. staff who, other things, monitor the festival site, helps with the assembly, dismantling, loading and unloading and machine operation. A group of people who can not be ignored from the organization. Therefore, never economical on this part. Resume As has already become clear above, there is a lot of attention in the technical production of events. It is a process that consists of many parts that all take a lot of time. Make sure that all parts receive the necessary attention. Only then can the technical production ensure the success of your event. Need help?

This is an aspect that is becoming increasingly important in the world of trade fairs and events. The Dutch Chamber of Commerce also wants their own events to be an attractive mix of information and entertainment. That is why this service provider consciously chooses to place the organization of their events in the hands of one partner. Bano is a specialist in the field of audiovisual solutions such as light, image and sound, but also provides a wide variety of facilities in the field of multimedia, staging and exhibitions. “We actually do everything: from design to delivery as well as the rental and sale of separate audiovisual products, but also the placement of LED displays on the stands”, says owner Erwin Balkema. By winning the tender that the Dutch Chamber of Commerce had written, Bano has been able to take care of all events for this organization since 1 September. “only this fall there are already twenty events such as the starters days or ZZP-days. It is our job to completely unburden the customer. Instead of multiple partners, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce now must deal with a single point of contact. So, one truck, one supplier for AV technology, one invoice. That just works much more practical. The choice of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce shows how strong we are and how to combine everything perfectly in one package.” Naturally, there are many more customers who choose Bano every time because of the experience and many possibilities. “for example, this autumn we can set up both the boardroom and the sponsor area with AV material, furniture and decoration for JDA Focus Connect in a London hotel. They also consciously choose the advantages of a single point of contact and were already satisfied with our service, approach and products at an earlier stage.” Text: Rob Buchholz Photo: Bano", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Erwin Balkema", "sameAs" : "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ebalkema/", "url" : "https://www.bano.nl/en/author/admin" }, "dateModified" : "20/04/2021", "datePublished" : "20/04/2021", "headline" : "Dutch Chamber of Commerce chooses consciously for one partner", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 400, "url" : "https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/6104253/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_0593.jpg", "width" : 750 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://www.bano.nl/en/dutch-chamber-of-commerce-chooses-for-one-partner", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://6104253.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6104253/Bano_logo_black_engaging_audiences_2lines.jpg" }, "name" : "Bano B.V.", "url" : "www.bano.nl" } } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "articleBody" : "Noorderpoort takes up residence this month in a striking bright orange building at the Europapark in Groningen.

Do you want to know how to do this in a structured manner? Read this article! Calculation methods For budgeting your event, a mix of the different calculation methods below is generally used in practice. During the organization of the event, the accountant will have to draw up a liquidity budget, this consists of an estimate of the incoming and outgoing money flows of the entire planning period. Make sure you are well informed about the status of the budget by regularly viewing it. Functional cost classification Map the costs of the various activities. Make it clear by creating main groups such as costs for guests, costs for outsourcing and assign a specific allocation per component. Distribution of costs in variable and constant costs With this cost allocation you map the constant a variable cost so that a beak-even analysis can be made. The ‘break-even-point’ indicates when the permitted budget (the revenue) and the costs incurred touch each other. The constant costs are like the fixed costs you make, regardless of the number of guests. You can think of printing, room rental, décor construction etc. the variable costs, however, depend on the number of guests. The variable costs include catering, bus transport and, for example, the implementation of the program. Pass on costs to the various organizations It is also possible to allocate the various costs to the agencies and committees that handle different parts of the event. With this method of budgeting, everyone is allocated a budget within which the activities they provide take place. In sort If the wishes a requirement of the event are known, a detailed budget can be made. As the event progresses, it will become increasingly sophisticated. Make sure that you also create a liquidity budget in addition to making a budget. Spends your budgeting You can also cheese to leave the budgeting of your event to professionals.

Choose a smart location A successful exhibition stands and falls with the location of your stand. You can already far in advance indicate a preferred position. You should do this! There will be a lot of competition, but you have to take your chance. After all, you don’t want one of the last places all in the back. The best place for your stand is often next to or near the catering. Most of the time this is the place where people observe the exhibition, while enjoying a cup of coffee. At that moment they have to notice your stand right away. Chances are, after drinking their coffee, they come straight to your stand. Size doesn’t matter It’s a misconception to think a large stand is necessary to draw the most attention. A stand of smaller size might as well catch the eye and draw as much visitors as a larger stand. It is very important to work with a creative team, consisting of professionals who understand your intention of your exhibition participation, and know from experience what resources are needed. Go higher Use the available space as effectively as possible! When you have a smaller stand ( in terms of the area ), you can work in height. These are often cheap meters. You can still stand out and draw the attention to your audience, by working with high walls. People will be more inclined to take a look at that striking stand. Open and inviting stand ! Make sure of an open and inviting stand. This applies to both the stand as well as for those who are standing at the stand. In addition to the design of the stand it is also essential to make a light plan. The way in which the whole is highlighted can make or break a stand. Not to mention the layout and the quality of printing. Don’t use too much text and make sure what you’re showing is of high quality and really catch the eye. If you have little space, but you do have the height? Make sure your logo is visible at a distance. Your staff is the business card for your business. Also make sure that they radiate openness, whereby the audience feels invited to visit your stand. A cared-looking, neat decorated look will contribute to this. Don’t forget you will stand all day at the exhibition, make sure you wear neat and comfortable shoes. The key is finding an experienced partner, with a lot of creativity and experience, who can help you design and realize your ideal stand. Using a remarkable and well thought stand can make a difference for your company at the exhibition and attract relevant prospects. Interactive stand Beside an open, inviting look it’s also important to get interactive with your audience. You do want to entertain your audience. Give a demonstration of your newest product or service. This also is the perfect way, despite your small stand, to stand out among all of the other stands. The flow to your stand will also arouse the curiosity to others. Interacting with your audience is an effective way to create contacts. VIP Receiving potential customers and contacts, during exhibitions, is very important. But how do we receive them with our small stand? At larger stands there are multiple meters available, so they can receive they guests in a casual atmosphere. This often isn’t possible at smaller stands. Use a high table to do business or you can take your business contact to the exhibition terrace to do business, while enjoying a lunch and a cup of coffee. An exhibition is the place where contacts are maintained and business is conducted. Try to anticipate as much as possible here, with the available resources. 6 basic tips to stand out with a smaller stand 1. Bring your message clear! 2.

A thought that many of us have before. But what is involved in organizing a festival yourself? We will gladly answer you in this blog. This is how we discuss the following points in this blog: What do you have to pay attention to? Script festival. Determinate the budget.Location festival Site production. Catering. Entertainment. Festival decoration. Event technique. Photo and video. Which permits do I need? Online ? What do you have to pay attention to? When you organize a festival yourself, you are quickly inclined to start the festival immediately. However, this is a beginner’s mistake that is often made. You only get one chance, so use it well. Organizing a festival is only possible through perfect planning. If this doesn’t happen, the festival will soon overtake its goal and you run the risk that the festival will cost more time and money than necessary. The organization of a festival starts with making one or more achievable objectives and determining your target group. When this is clear, you can proceed to create a script for your festival. Script festival A very important part of the organization of festivals is the preparation of a detailed script. This involves the tasks and responsibilities of all parties involved. WHO, WHAT and WHEN are the key words of the content of the script. Divide the tasks according to the qualities of the persons. For example, the person with ultimate responsibility must have the best project management skills to manage everything properly. During the entire process, from preparation to execution, you constantly update the script so that it is always up to date. A list of contact details (name, address, email-address and phone number) of all parties involved ( people of the organization as well as the suppliers) should also be included in the script. Determinate the budget Determination of the budget for your festival is a continuous process. You start by making a rough estimate and then, when requesting the tenders, check whether the estimate is somewhat real. After a while you can adjust the provisional budget when you receive the tenders and you can make a more targeted estimate. View here the checklist for determining the budget for your festival. Location festival Choosing the right location for your festival is an important, but difficult task. You have to take into account many factors. Tailor your location to your target group, objectives, size of the festival and what you want to convey with your festival. When you have this clear, you can focus on looking for the perfect location. Let multiple locations pass by before you choose the final location. ALWAYS visit a location first before you finalize it. Don’t forget to take into account the more practical aspects. Use the checklist below to make an informed choice for the right location of your festival. Siteproduction When the plans for the event have been made and the location is known, the site production can be started. The site production includes tasks such as ordering stages, light, sound, security, toilets, tents, stage decoration, fences, electricity and water to the actual layout of the festival site. Don’t forget that the festival site must be kept clean. Also appoint sufficient staff for this. Just as the entire organization of a festival must be tight with hard deadlines, is this also necessary for the site production. Ensure that deadlines, budget and design are monitored and overseen by the responsible team. Catering When the budget for your festival is determined and the location has been chosen, you can also give a specific interpretation to the catering. Choose a catering company based on your target group. Choose a company that meets the standards and qualifications for storage, transport, preparation and delivery of food. Then you have to wonder if the snacks and drinks are tasty and original, the service is friendly and well cared for and everything looks representative? Questions that all need to be answered positively in order to spoil your audience during the festival. Entertainment A beautiful location and a perfect catering don’t matter at all when the entertainment is very disappointing. Tune the entertainment to your objective and your audience. Take care of bands / DJ’s that appeal to your audience. In addition, there are other forms of entertainment that you can think of as animations, chill spaces with entertainment etc. However, there is a lot more to entertainment than just choosing good acts and taking care of the necessary animation. What do you do with artists who cancel at the last minute and what about the permits? Aspects that you all need to take into account when organizing your own festival. Festival decoration Together with the location and the entertainment, the decoration creates the look and vibe of the festival. Here, too, the decoration must be tuned to your objective and target group. You know what you want to radiate and which audience you have to impress. Therefore ensure your own style, magnificent eye-catchers and a totally new decoration. In this way your audience gets the idea to enter a different world through the atmosphere you create. Event technique An important role in the atmosphere experience is reserved for event technology. This means all audiovisual technology that is necessary for the technical production of a festival. People are increasingly used to technical delights during an event. Be aware of this and realize that you have to make an impact on your audience. This way you can support the performances with innovative audiovisual concepts. When choosing the supplier, ask about the possibilities they have to offer in the field of event technology. Strive for the highest possible that falls within your budget. After all, you want to give your audience an unforgettable experience. Photo and video An unforgettable experience remains in your memory forever, but how beautiful would it be to relive this experience afterwards for many times? By appointing a photographer or cameraman you can capture the beautiful atmosphere of your festival in the form of photo and video. That way everyone can enjoy the most beautiful moments of the festival. Bekijk hier de checklist voor het organiseren van evenementen Which permits do I need? To obtain permits can make or break the organization of your festival. As an organizer, you need to inquire about any necessary permits at the city where the event takes place. Make any mention of the organization of your festival to the local government. Below are the most important permits that you will need for your festival. Event permit Depending on the size of the festival you need an event permit. When it concerns a very small festival, it’s sometimes sufficient to make a report. This license holder is ultimately responsible for the order and safety of the participants and visitors at the festival site. The permit contains all measures that have to be taken in case of calamities. Royalty When you use music at your festival, you have to pay royalties via Sabam ( Belgium ) or Buma ( the Netherlands ). In addition to copyright, an appropriate fee is also levied for exporters and producers. Noise Music often plays an important role during festivals. If there is a big festival there can be some noise. Check whether you need a permit for this. This falls under the denominator environmental licenses and will limit the maximum number of decibels permitted. It may be that you need other permits as well. For safety, check with the city where the event takes place. You can think of permits with regard to spirits, food, closing time, places of tents, stages, shelves and stands etc. Resume As has been shown above, there is a lot to look at when organizing a festival by yourself. Make sure you have the required permits and always keep your objective in mind. If you give all parts the necessary attention, that will result in a fantastic festival.
