A day in the life
No two days are the same on the Event Production team and that"s what makes this role exciting.
The producer process starts well before show day. A minimum of six weeks ahead, you"re already engaged in the pre-production process: evaluating bookings, holding customer and planning meetings, and maintaining clear communication with the customer and engineers leading up to set and show day.
On non-show days, you"re focused on pre-planning: coordinating logistics, aligning with vendors, building run-of-show documents, managing cost estimates, and ensuring every detail is accounted for before your crew arrives onsite.
On show days, you"re in the thick of it: supporting set with your crew, managing rehearsals, and driving show execution from start to finish. You"re the point of contact for your customer, ensuring everything runs smoothly and adapting on the fly when things change.
After the event wraps, you shift into reporting mode: capturing event data, finalizing vendor costs, and contributing to Weekly Business Review reporting to keep leadership informed and the team aligned.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter
