Operations and Logistics: Spotlight on our Work in The Shadows

When Attending A Festival, You See Lights and Screens, Hear Your Favorite Artists’ Music, and Have A Spectacular Experience.

What you don’t see is the hundreds of people involved in many ways and the thousands of hours spent planning, prepping, and delivering the event you enjoy. Nothing is left to chance, and every detail is considered to ensure a seamless performance from the first note to the final ovation.  

Solotech takes you behind the scenes of event preparation.  

A Marathon Begins

When it comes to large-scale events, the Solotech team is busy long before tickets even go on sale.  

At the turn of the new year, our team is already planning the festival season, and each customer comes with a unique reality. That’s why Solotech adapts its approach to each event, positioning itself as a collaborator and proactively putting its expertise at its customers’ service to find solutions at every production stage. 

Some may rely on technical staff or external consultants. In contrast, others rely on our technical experts to identify the best equipment to meet their needs and the requirements for effective deployment on-site, including schedules, personnel, and machinery for preparation, delivery, load-in, and load-out. 

As the months go by, programming is confirmed, bands and artists are announced, and the work becomes more and more concrete. Communication between the Solotech and event teams is increasing to share as much information as possible and prepare everything that can be anticipated. The teams of the various confirmed artists can also be added to the discussion, as it’s not uncommon for Solotech to supply the audiovisual equipment for the festival stages and the additional gear required by the artists.  

All this can quickly become a significant headache. That’s why project managers with a good sense of initiative and a strong ability to anticipate play such an essential role in coordinating and successfully delivering events.  

It’s Showtime!

Everything is ready, the doors open, the crowd arrives, and the show starts.

You won’t see our team members on stage, and they won’t be applauded, but rest assured that they all feel great satisfaction and pride in having helped deliver the event.
