Event and production management

Production planning and coordination for conferences, live programs and hybrid events. Kuhns, Inc. helps organizers bring the people, schedules and technical teams together around the program they want to deliver.

↪︎ The audience experiences one event. The production needs a shared plan.

Build the production around the program.

An event brings together people with different responsibilities and deadlines. Speakers need clear instructions. The venue needs decisions. Technical teams need a program they can prepare for, and organizers need someone who can keep those dependencies in view.

The work connects the program to a practical production schedule, run of show and arrangement for making decisions. Planning includes the handoffs between organizers, presenters, venues and technical providers, with time to prepare and rehearse the parts that need it.

For organizations preparing a defined conference or hybrid gathering.

Conference production management

Coordinate the preparation and delivery of a conference around its agreed program. The scope can include production schedules, speaker preparation, rehearsals, run of show, and coordination with venue, AV and streaming teams.

Receive a shared production plan and working documents that make responsibilities, deadlines and delivery cues clear. For hybrid events, preparation considers how the program works for people in the room and those joining remotely.

Most useful when: the conference has several contributors and needs a person responsible for coordinating production across them.

For teams delivering a recurring series of talks, panels or public programs.

Live program and event series management

Coordinate production across an agreed run of programs. Establish the shared preparation schedule, clarify what each presenter and partner needs, and adapt the production plan to each date and format.

Receive a working series schedule, clear preparation requirements and production coordination across the agreed events. The arrangement gives the team continuity while allowing each program to have its own needs.

Most useful when: several dates share people, venues or production resources and need to be managed together.

Agree on who owns the delivery.

An engagement can be scoped directly around a defined event or series. The scope identifies the production decisions Kuhns, Inc. will coordinate, the team members authorized to approve them, and the responsibilities held by the venue and technical providers.

Bring the date, program outline and current team arrangement. Those give the conversation a useful starting point.
