The right equipment to deliver your message & create experiences

Now that all of your messaging and creative content is in order – or at least in production – it’s time to engineer the physical infrastructure that you’re going to need – and get it to the venue on time.

We’ll have value engineered your equipment requirements during the planning phase, but now we need to nail down all of the production equipment and technical requirements for your event. Exactly what kinds of screens and projectors will you use for visuals? How much power do you need in your sound systems? How many microphones are required? What kind of staging and lighting setup is going to be best?

Lots to consider – Vision Collective has experts who will help.

Where are you getting your equipment?

It’s important to note that Vision Collective is unique in the event production world – we have over $6 million in event production inventory available for our clients. This means that far less (if any) equipment needs to be rented or contracted out.

We maintain state-of-the-art staging, audio and video equipment right in our Phoenix warehouse – ready to deploy nationwide. Based on the nature of your content and presentation materials, we’ll identify exactly what our equipment requirements and all specifications are going to be in the following areas:

We’re also able to pass along efficiency in shipping costs because of consolidated loads, and far less complexity. All of your event equipment arrives safely on-site with appropriate lead time for preparations.

Event Blueprints:
Crystal clear setup instructions

CAD rendered event blueprints are the culmination of all content creation and systems engineering activities to this point. These details special and graphic drawings clarify every element of your event in intricate detail for on-site staff. They serve to ensure that your event happens as planned, without compromise.

Event blueprints are comprehensive 3D CAD drawings that include venue layouts, technical systems and specifications, equipment rosters, human resource requirements, venue requirements, preparation outlines, required timelines and 3^rdparty/vendor detailed instructions.

Leading up to your event, on-site setup teams are armed with precise instructions on what to do and how to do it. No guesswork. No mistakes.
