FORCE EVENT — TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT GUIDE
An event technical manager coordinates the trades and activities required for operational delivery. The role connects crews and follows the technical schedule from setup through dismantling according to the agreed scope.
The technical manager does not replace specialist technicians. The role provides a common operational framework between production, technical leads and the different crews on site.
01
Sound, lighting, video, structure, power, road crew and other teams may all be involved in the same operation. The technical manager coordinates their sequence and interfaces.
The role identifies dependencies between trades and maintains a shared coordination point with production.
02
Before doors open, technical management uses the schedule, access conditions, working hours and planned equipment to organise setup phases.
Dismantling and load-out require the same coordination so the agreed sequence and venue constraints can be respected.
03
During the event, the technical manager remains an operational contact for the trades included in the management scope.
The role follows the agreed programme and helps information move quickly when an adjustment affects several crews.
04
A useful brief brings together the information that genuinely affects coordination.
