load-in/load-out
Load-in and load-out refer to the processes of bringing equipment, set pieces, and materials into and out of a venue or event space. Load-in involves the transportation and setup of these items before an event begins, ensuring everything is in place for performance or presentation. Load-out is the reverse, involving the disassembly, packing, and removal of equipment after the event concludes. These procedures are coordinated carefully to ensure a smooth transition, minimize disruptions, and protect the venue and equipment. They are essential parts of event production, requiring proper planning and timing to be efficient and safe.
