The program runs on time and everyone hears it

On the ground

This work in Deadwood

Deadwood pulls corporate retreats and association meetings because it is a destination that does not need an airport. The event centers and hotel conference rooms here are set up for a program and the load in works the way you would want. The historic rooms are the ones that need a conversation first, because those buildings were finished long before anyone imagined what a modern event would ask of them. We run your program off the run of show and keep a tech on the board from the first announcement to the last.

Conditions in Deadwood

Deadwood sits in a gulch with one main street, one way sections, and parking that fills, so load in gets scheduled with your venue rather than assumed. Several of the best rooms in town are a floor up in historic buildings, which means freight elevators and a real plan instead of a few trips from the curb. The rooms themselves are hard surfaced and lively, so we tune for the stone rather than fight it with volume. The reward is that your guests are staying within walking distance, and nobody slips out of your reception early to beat a drive home.

What is included

What you get

Banquets, award nights, conferences, and holiday parties. We run the audio, the playback, and the program cues off your run of show, with a tech at the board for the whole event instead of a system left running unattended.

  • Podium and lectern audio with a hardwired backup microphone
  • Wireless handhelds and lavaliers for presenters and award recipients
  • Playback for video, sizzle reels, and walk in music
  • Laptop and HDMI patch into house or rented projection
  • Background music through dinner and networking, at a level that allows conversation
  • Program cues run from your printed run of show
  • Award and auction support, including a dedicated microphone for the auctioneer
  • A dance floor DJ after the program when the night calls for one
  • A technician at the board for the entire event
  • Load in, setup, and strike scheduled around the venue's requirements

How we work

Our approach

01

We work from your run of show

Corporate events live or die on the program. Send us the run of show and we build the audio and playback plan around it: who is speaking when, which video plays where, when the lights need to come down, and where the gaps are that music has to cover. If you do not have one yet, we will help you build it.

02

We plan for the microphone getting handed around

Award nights mean a microphone moving between people who have never held one. We set gain for that, keep a hardwired podium microphone live as a backup, and put a second wireless in the room so a dead battery is an inconvenience instead of a stoppage. Somebody on our crew is watching the handoffs all night.

03

We staff the board the whole time

Set it and leave it works until a presenter walks away from the podium or a video comes in twelve decibels hot. We keep a technician at the board from the first announcement to the last, because the whole point of hiring production is that somebody is paying attention when something changes.
