The Challenge of Staffing Live Events
Event production staffing is one of the most time-consuming aspects of running a production company or managing live events. Every show requires a specific mix of technical talent — audio engineers, video techs, lighting designers, riggers, stagehands, and crew chiefs — and finding available, qualified people for the right dates in the right city is a constant challenge.
