Production questions to resolve before load-in
Davos production needs more than a technical equipment list. The venue conditions, publication rights and people who can make decisions on the day should be built into the quotation.
What site information should an AV supplier receive?
Share floorplans, the event run of show, power availability, permitted rigging and signage, internet reliability, crew access and loading hours. Ask for a site survey, named technical lead, equipment substitutions and a recoverable backup for critical audio and connectivity.
Who owns the event footage?
Specify filming permissions, participant consent, licensed music, copyright, raw-file handover, editing rounds, captions, usage territories and retention. A video produced on site is not automatically cleared for unrestricted paid advertising.
How should proposals be compared?
Have suppliers price the same deliverables: crew days, setup, rehearsal, microphones, lighting, streaming, storage, editing, overtime, travel and breakdown. Request exclusions and cancellation terms on the same page as the headline quote.
FOUR DETAILS THAT MOVE A QUOTE FORWARD
- Programme schedule and deliverables by publication deadline
- Venue access, power, network and technical specifications
- Expected speakers, languages, recording and usage permissions
- Budget ceiling and resilience requirements
