FORCE EVENT — TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT GUIDE
How do you prepare an event technical management brief?

The clearer this information is in advance, the easier it is to coordinate setup, live operation and dismantling.

2. PROVIDE AN OPERATIONAL SCHEDULE
Separate setup, rehearsals where applicable, live operation, dismantling and load-out so each trade can understand its working window.

3. IDENTIFY TRADES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Road crew, sound, lighting, video, structure, power and other teams should be identified together with their leads and scope.
