Event logistics covers everything behind the scenes to bring the event physically to life. It starts with the build-up: directing deliveries, placing tables and chairs, installing technical equipment, setting up décor. Then: guest reception, catering timing, sound and light operation. Finally: the break-down (clearing everything away, settling up with suppliers). Logistics is also about people: from dividing roles to a backup if someone drops out. This requires a detailed protocol. Also: managing risks. Think of scenarios such as a sound technician who doesn't show up or catering that arrives too late. A good logistics plan anticipates this. And timing: the day itself has to run like clockwork; no one waits for anything. Logistics is not the most visible part, but it determines whether your event goes right or wrong. For an event of 100 people, logistics can be 30-40% of your budget. At larger events even 50%.
