Event IT / Network Engineering

YOUR PERSONAL EVENT IT DEPARTMENT

Trade Show Internet specializes in building custom IT infrastructure solutions at outdoor events and unique venues worldwide. We deploy networks in parks, parking lots, tents, stadiums, airport hangars, warehouses, movie theaters, restaurants, nightclubs, and museums. We also work with customers looking for a higher quality solution at traditional hotels and convention centers vs. the one-size-fits-all typical offering.

We are well versed in both the event world and the IT world. Our firsthand knowledge and expertise will guide you through the minefield of rapidly changing technology, help you select network solutions that align with your objectives, and satisfy your diverse event IT requirements.

Since 2008, we’ve deployed networks at thousands of events. Trade Show Internet is an industry leader and our infrastructure solutions are managed and monitored on-site by our team of network engineers.

What to Know Before You Go

We require venue permission to install our network infrastructure and WiFi gear. Most venue managers are cooperative and simply require our Certificate of Insurance, which is available upon request.

However, if your event takes place in a hotel or convention center, you must negotiate the ability to bring in your own AV and Internet/WiFi vendors before you sign a venue lease agreement. Should the venue require the in-house AV provider be allowed to bid, we recommend you request separate AV and Internet bids. This way there is no pricing penalty for selecting one service but not the other. To further reduce costs, you should request a list of all associated venue fees in advance. Many of these fees are negotiable. If a rate list cannot be provided up-front, you should require the venue waive all associated fees, including electrical, MDF/IDF closet access, fiber cross-connect, copper cross-connect, port access, patch panel, Ethernet drop, roof access, gear storage, drayage, and labor supervision.
