Chief Huntress at The Idea Hunter | 2023 Event Professional of the year

The Fear of Technical Failures During Performances—and How to Keep the Show Going When it comes to live entertainment, nothing strikes fear into an event professional’s heart more than a technical failure during a performance. A mic cutting out mid-song, a spotlight malfunction, or an instrument not connecting properly can completely disrupt the energy and experience. Imagine the performer hitting their peak note, and the sound drops out. The audience feels it, the performer feels it—it’s an event planner’s worst nightmare. No matter how well-rehearsed the talent is, technology can steal the show if not handled properly. The Solution: Success starts with thorough tech rehearsals. Make sure all equipment—microphones, speakers, instruments, and lights—are tested multiple times before the event. Collaborating with a trusted AV team is essential. Having backup microphones, additional sound mixers, and extra lighting technicians on standby can save the day if things go wrong. At The Idea Hunter, we recently had a corporate event where multiple live bands and performers were part of the entertainment lineup. Knowing how critical the performances were to the event’s success, we made sure that both the AV crew and performers worked together in advance, running multiple sound checks. With backup mics and extra lighting rigs ready to go, we avoided any disruptions, and the night went off without a hitch. Don’t let tech fears steal the show! Our Huntresses are ready to create flawless entertainment experiences that leave guests mesmerized—without worrying about technical failures. Are you ready to start ideating?
