-
Set clear expectations through detailed contracts and communicate regularly with vendors. Use checklists, timelines, and pre-event meetings to align on key deliverables. Ongoing monitoring and feedback help ensure that vendors deliver quality service aligned with your event standards
-
Research their track record. Look for experience that is as close to your project. Because live events is with live people. And people are very very different. Film celebrities need very different handling than business icons who are very different from government leaders. So make sure the agency has relevant experience. Visualise EVERY worst case scenario and fortify. Understand the agency's motivation for taking the project. If there's even an iota more than the billing, then prefer that agency. Inexperience can be insulated by planning and inspiration, so consider holistically. Finally, keep your fingers crossed and read about Murphy's law.
-
Clear agreements and upfront expectations. When you detail out the vision and goals of the event, your vendors should want to match those to make the event successful. If they are not able to communicate their plan with you, then they might not be the vendor for your event.

Para garantir que os fornecedores externos atendam às minhas expectativas, eu posso : Realizar o planejamento em conjunto. Eles fornecedores, também, querem que o evento ocorra bem, por isso é importante que eles conheçam os detalhes da produção. Comunicar-se claramente: É importante que se deixe claro as datas do evento, os profissionais responsáveis por cada serviço e as formas de pagamento. Reunir-se com antecedência: É possível demonstrar a dinâmica da produção e tirar dúvidas reunindo-se com os fornecedores no local do evento. Apresentar os benefícios da parceria: Quando os fornecedores estão alinhados com o negócio, a qualidade dos serviços e produtos aumenta.

Make sure everything is written clearly in the contract. Travel to the venue and check everything out myself 1 or 2 day before the event, depending on the event
