LIVE EVENT TIP
TIP:  Collaboration is important to the
success of any live event.  Things
can change or crop up without notice.  A seasoned production
company is used to the unusual and
unexpected --- power problems,
unforseen technical issues, flight
delays that prevent performing artists from arriving for their
scheduled sound checks.  An
experienced production company
knows what to do.  If you are the
individual responsible for the event
for your company or organization,
don't panic.  Rely on professional 
experience.  It may not be perfect,
but it won't be be a disaster.
