Independent Event Network Consulting
Your event first. Unbiased expertise for mission-critical networks.
We start by asking one question: what does your event need to succeed? Often the answer is the venue you already have, planned and managed the right way.
Our approach
Several teams. One common goal: your event's success.
Venue First
Many venues have invested in strong networks. We learn what your chosen venue does well and build on it, instead of replacing it.
Several Teams, One Goal
Venue IT, production, AV, streaming, and your planners working from one plan, so everyone pulls in the same direction.
Add Only What's Needed
When an event truly needs more, our trusted partners supply exactly the right gear, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
Our People On Site
Seasoned project leadership backed by trusted field crews, installers, and network technicians, from load-in to load-out.
What we do
Expertise for every stage of your event.
Venue & Environment Assessment
Every venue is different. We study how your building and its existing network work, instead of repeating what was done at your last event.
Event Network Project Management
Twenty years of event experience leading the plan and coordinating venue IT, production, AV, and your team toward one goal.
Hands-On Field Crews
Install leads, technicians, and network support on the ground. With no warehouse or equipment overhead, your budget stays focused on skilled execution and on-site support.
Production & Streaming Support
We know what production and streaming crews need from the network, and we make sure they get clean, reliable connections.
Transparent Equipment Sourcing
When extra gear is truly required, our vetted partners supply exactly the right gear for your event and budget.
Show Support & Post-Event Review
On site through every session, then clear takeaways so your next event starts smarter.
Voices from the field
Trusted by the venues we work alongside.
"Nate really GETS IT when it comes to being a true partner. Unlike many client provided vendors, he understood what our team needed operationally and stayed ahead of problems. It's refreshing to work with someone who cares about the whole event, not just their piece of it."
Kevin Patch
General Manager, Smart City Networks
"I've worked with Nate for nearly 20 years, and his expertise delivers outstanding results. He operates collaboratively with our team, anticipates issues, and executes effectively under pressure. This is the kind of professional partnership Moscone Center values."
