This involves participating in pre-event meetings, coordinating equipment setup with IT and lighting teams, and troubleshooting any technical issues during rehearsals and live events. Effective communication and flexibility are key, as last-minute changes often require quick decision-making and teamwork. Such collaboration ensures seamless integration of sound, video, and lighting components for a successful event experience.
