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?

Entertainment Can Reflect Your Event Values Choose event entertainment that reflects your event’s core values, elevating the event’s impression. Company events, for example, should have entertainment that rings true with the company image. Who you book to entertain should match the purpose of the event, too, offering an aesthetic solution for welcoming guests. Make sure your entertainment delivers in line with your value proposition; otherwise, your guests will feel out of place, confused, or uncomfortable.

The shape, size and layout of your event space, impact engagement. I recently worked at an event that was planned meticulously, the venue looked incredible, the service staff were excellent, the atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. What more could you want? Despite all of this - we almost lost the back half of the room when the activities on stage began. Now, hear me rightly. I'm not one to blame the tools, but I've played enough venues like this to spot the recurring issue and the common denominator. This is all to obvious as someone who stands on a stage most weeks of the year, but I'm also aware of this as an audience member. When I go to the theatre (as I do, regularly! I love it!), I always book a seat in the stalls where I can see the actor's faces. Whenever I've sat in the balcony, I've switched off pretty soon, even in the shows I know and love. Visibility is key to engagement. Your guests need to see more than just the lectern, the screen and the bodies of those upfront. As much as possible, they need to have eye contact. So here's my suggestion next time you come to choose a venue space; Consider Circular Rooms. Long, rectangular rooms mean that half the audience loses eye contact and good visibility of those on stage. They are either at the back of the room or pushed far out to the sides. With all the distractions between their table and the stage, they'll naturally take the easier option and begin chatting, regardless of the skill and expertise of those upfront. Circular rooms lend themselves to a better layout, with the opportunity to position your tables in a semi-circle facing the stage. Every audience member, will then have a healthy view of those on stage and engage more fully. If a circular room isn't an option, then consider a live camera feed. It's still not quite the same, but it will keep your guests at the back, engaged for longer than if without. Tell me in the comments, about your preferences/learnings, when it comes to choosing an event space. #Corporate #Venue #Conference #Awards #Host
