Event staging companies no longer simply rent temporary stages. As the industry grows and evolves, the companies must do the same. This means that large or top-end event staging companies now offer more services than ever before. These services fall into three main categories: equipment hire, production services and digital services.

AV Equipment Hire
A key step in organising an event is planning for the AV equipment. No matter the size of the venue, it’s essential to have this kind of equipment to guarantee you can be seen and heard by all guests in the room.
There is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution to AV hire. After all, an award ceremony will have very different needs to an exhibition. Unlike companies that work purely with AV equipment, event staging companies take the time to understand the unique needs of events, whether they have a stage or involve exhibitions and multiple points of interest. They’ll then be able to provide you with top-of-the-line audio systems, lighting, visual equipment and screens alongside anything else your stage requires, such as drapes, backdrops and stage sets.
Production Services
The production services provided by your event staging company mostly come into play during the planning process. Some of the services offered include:
• CAD plans • Schematics • Video mapping and wide screen production • Video production • 2D and 3D graphic design
The above services mean you know your stage will look exactly as you intended. But while most of these services revolve around the planning of how your stage will look, technical production also takes place. This can involve producing custom pieces for the stage or the installation of rigging solutions.
Another aspect of production services is video production. Many event staging companies will gladly assist in producing video content for the display to be viewed on stage or elsewhere during the event.
Digital and Online Solutions
When you’re looking for the extra touches to give your event an air of professionalism, find out what digital services your event staging company can offer. Many companies are able to install wireless internet. This is especially useful for demonstrations and presentations, or any time audience participation may be required, allowing you to set up an audience poll or something similar that can be completed on the spot with instantaneous results on-screen. This is an ideal solution for product launches, conferences and even sporting award nights. Wireless internet also encourages your guests to broadcast your event to their friends and family on social media, giving you valuable word of mouth marketing. Webcasting and live streaming can usually be set up on your behalf to allow anyone that was unable to attend to see what is happening and interact with the event, or stay aware of any important information being released. This comes in handy at events such as award nights, or product launches that need to be shared with international investors.
As evidenced here, there’s a wide range of services offered by event staging companies that have nothing to do with what happens on stage. Enquire with your event staging company today to find out just what they can do for you.
