Event Planners,

"Identity theory suggests that event attendees define themselves by attending events that carry symbolic significance."

 There is a time and purpose for everything, and the same principle applies in the events industry. With each event being unique, we find events need tailored solutions. This causes event planners to go searching for vendors to provide the custom solutions their event needs.

In an attempt to provide a convenient one stop shop, hotels and other event venues have created event packages to handle all your event needs from AV to seating to food options. If convenience is of utmost importance to you, the hotel's package can be convenient, but they may not be able to offer you the same level of expertise, especially in the area of AV.

Using the in-house AV company can be convenient, but is the service and outcome worth what you are paying? What venues don’t tell you about using their in-house AV team is

The Clarity Story

With a desire to not accept the same substandard audio JL Lagestee set out to find a better solution. He discovered that while the equipment for live events was improving during the 1980’s the technical aptitude of the operators was not keeping pace. It was his passion to bring clear sound reinforcement to the everyday live event. These events ranged from local music concerts to school events as well as Sunday church service.   As JL moved into the production industry to bring quality audio visual to  corporate meetings and events JL passed on his desire for high quality sound, video, and lighting to his eight kids who all spent some time working in the family business. This passion for quality and creativity lived on as several members of the Lagestee family joined various audio visual companies making an indelible impression on the industry.

Do our emotions impact our experience?

Have you ever thought about how your emotions affect your satisfaction with a product or a service?  Do your feelings that day factor into the way you perceive a  product's value?  Can factors in the environment change your emotions and therefore change your experience?

When considering the purpose and agenda for your event, take note of the emotional state of your attendees and how you want them to feel when they arrive, during your event, and when the event concludes.  Emotions are strongly tied to memories and memories determine the way in which an event will be remembered over time.
