The mysteries and wonders of AV pricing. It can seem like they are making up budgets or simply taking what you tell them is your budget. Technical Production may be the most confusing when it comes to pricing. You might not know the exact gear you need, and I promise, you don't have to. This Fast Chat discusses technical production goals instead of gear. The state of the current labor market. How gear is priced. How to make your technical production company a true partner in the success of your meetings and events. And most importantly, what your potential partner should be saying. And guess what.... All of that helps to unraveling the ever-elusive technical budget.
