Q:
| How does Stage America save us money? | A:
| Stage America bids local sound, lighting and video resources to insure a great show without excess shipping charges. | | | | | Q: | Does Stage America use in-house AV companies? | A:
| Because we bid equipment to local providers, we include hotel AV. We know hotel AV has a 30-50% commission due the hotel before quoting on our RFP. We work with hotel AV where necessary, but the chance they can be competitive is limited. | | | | | Q: | When does Stage America get involved with our next event? | A:
| The best time for SA to get involved with your next event is during the final site selection process. Once the city is selected there are many production issues to consider before making the final selection. For example: outside AV contractor restrictions or sur-charges, union house rules, electrical limitations or extraordinary costs for one venue vs. the other. | | | | | Q: | Can I count on Stage America to work with our in-house production department? | A:
| Stage America provides contract support for areas not already covered by the internal team or outside production company. | | | | | Q: | What role does Stage America play with the venue management? | A:
| SA manages all communications with the venue regarding everything that happens in the main room except for food and beverage. |
