Who Does Corporate Event Production?

When planning a corporate event, understanding who is responsible for event production helps ensure your event runs smoothly and professionally. Corporate event production involves a team of specialists who bring your event vision to life through technical expertise and careful coordination.

In this guide, we’ll explain:

• What event production is
• What a production team does during an event
• The key differences between event management and event production

What Is Event Production?

Event production is the process of planning, organising, and managing the technical and creative elements that make an event successful. This includes sound, lighting, video, staging, rigging, and special effects. Event production teams work behind the scenes to ensure every technical detail runs flawlessly.

Unlike event management, which focuses on the overall planning and logistics, event production is primarily concerned with delivering the event experience through technology and technical coordination.

What Does the Production Team Do in an Event?

The production team is responsible for:

• Setting up AV equipment: microphones, speakers, projectors, LED screens, and lighting rigs
• Coordinating live technical support: managing sound mixing, lighting cues, video switching, and stage effects during the event
• Troubleshooting: fixing any technical problems quickly to avoid disruptions
• Collaborating with event organisers and talent: ensuring that presentations, speeches, and performances flow seamlessly
• Dismantling equipment once the event concludes

The production team’s work is vital for delivering a polished, professional event experience.

What’s the Difference Between Event Management and Event Production?

While event management and event production overlap, they have distinct roles:

Aspect	Event Management	Event Production
Focus	Overall event planning and logistics	Technical and creative delivery of the event
Responsibilities	Budgeting, scheduling, venue booking, catering	Sound, lighting, video, staging, and live tech
Key Team Members	Event manager, coordinators	Producers, AV technicians, lighting and sound crew
Goal	Ensure event happens on time and on budget	Ensure event looks and sounds great

Both are essential for successful corporate events, often working closely to ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
