Travel Logistics | Global Event Production

June 7, 2024  by Alaina Salas

With global meeting and event production, of course, comes the challenge of travel logistics, but they don’t have to be a hurdle in your planning process. Here are some of the best ways we plan ahead for traveling to an event abroad: 

  • Make sure to factor in the time changes when traveling to your destination. Leaving the USA, you can lose half a day flying to Europe or more than a day when flying to Southeast Asia. 
  • Missing show day is not only your client’s worst nightmare but yours as well. Plan to arrive at least a day before your event so a delay or cancellation won’t keep you from show day. Additionally, arriving an extra day beforehand will help your team become acclimated to the time zone of the host country. 
  • Double-check your passport.  In the buzz of event planning, it can be easy to forget the small things that factor hugely into the success of your travel. Make sure your passport is valid for six months before and after your trip and apply for any necessary visas. If you want to be really thorough, keep printed copies of your passports, visas, and ID’s stored in your hotel room’s safe in case any of your documents are stolen or lost. 
  • Before traveling, make sure to know where you will pass through customs. For layovers in a third-party country (not your origin or your destination), you often will not have to pass through customs, just a normal security checkpoint. However, Europe is a little different. If your final destination is part of the Schengen Area (which is most of Europe, including not EU members such as Switzerland) you will pass through customs in the first Schengen country you arrive in. It’s always good to double check this before booking flights with short layovers!
  • Refer to the US State Department Travel website (www.travel.state.gov) for helpful and up-to-date information on entry requirements for individual countries and any travel warnings that exist.

While the process of producing an event abroad can be challenging for some, the fact that Tri-Marq follows the same pre-production methods both locally and globally keeps stress low for everyone.

Tri-Marq was proud to once again produce the 11th Tri-Marq was proud to once again produce the 11th annual Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) Icebreaker event at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The stage setup featured a color-changing Titan Tube backdrop that complimented the Chamber’s EUREKA branding with hidden exclamation points.

The event hosted over 800 business and community leaders and featured keynote speakers speakers from companies around Wisconsin. 

In addition to handling all pre-production, CAD renderings, and stage and lighting design, the Tri-Marq event team was on-site managing all run-of-show duties.

Our client, First Advantage, took their annual 'Co Our client, First Advantage, took their annual 'Collaborate' conference to sunny Miami, Florida🌴☀️ at the Fontainebleau hotel. Tri-Marq produced this Event Recap video that aired at the end of the conference. Video production included an on-site crew to record footage and edit immediately.

It was a busy week! Attendees got to hear from keynote speaker and award-winning NYT author, Jeremy Gutsche, connect in interactive breakout sessions, and enjoy performances from local dance troupes and a percussion group.

As full-service Show Producers, we think about the overall meeting experience, so Tri-Marq incorporated the brand wherever possible, including designing the company logo out of Titan Tube lighting as a stage backdrop. Tri-Marq also handled all pre-production planning, CAD renderings, site visits, management of run-of-show, speaker rehearsals, and more.

Our client, the Association of High Technology Dis Our client, the Association of High Technology Distribution (AHTD), wanted to create a high-level promotion to recruit new members. Rather than deal with the hassle of scheduling multiple location shoots (which can become cost-prohibitive) to record interviews, AHTD took advantage of the time when all their members were in one place — the AHTD fall conference! In Fall 2024, Tri-Marq’s crew went to Washington to interview 11 AHTD members and compile footage for two videos promoting membership in the Association. In addition to filming interviews, we also produced the event. The four-day conference featured keynote speakers, group breakouts, and a tradeshow-style project showcase.

Last month, our client, The Association of Equipme Last month, our client, The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) hosted “World of Asphalt” in St. Louis, Missouri. As the leading asphalt trade show, the conference attracts industry manufacturers and service providers to showcase their latest products. 

Tri-Marq was on-site at the event capturing video, drone footage, and attendee and exhibitor testimonials for client use. To recap the event, we edited the footage to create this post-conference video. To see the video in action, visit the World of Asphalt webpage.
