What matters most
Decide the wet-weather plan and the exact time you will commit to it, before equipment leaves the store.
Points to work through
- Protect power and electronics from rain and damp — covered positions, raised cabling, and a plan for sudden showers.
- Account for heat and sun on both people and gear; laptops and speakers fail in direct afternoon sun.
- Plan for wind and open-air sound loss, which needs more coverage than an enclosed room.
- Confirm a stable power source and a route for cables that keeps guests safe.
- Have a sheltered fallback space identified and agreed with the venue, not improvised on the day.
