Technical Event Crew and Staff

A technical crew, often called a technical event crew, is a team of skilled professionals who work behind the scenes to ensure every event runs smoothly. Also referred to as the crew backstage, they are responsible for the setup, operation, and dismantling of AV equipment, lighting, staging, and sound systems.

The AV technical crew plays a vital role across a variety of events. For concerts and festivals, they manage large sound systems, lighting rigs, and stage setups. At corporate events and conferences, the technical crew ensures presentations, screens, and PA systems operate flawlessly. On TV and film productions, the crew backstage handles cameras, lighting, and sound, keeping everything on schedule and running professionally.

From installing complex AV setups to troubleshooting live issues, a technical event crew ensures every detail is delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard. Hiring an experienced technical crew is key to executing seamless events, whether it’s a live performance, corporate function, or film shoot.
