This helped improve the quality of the teams and better match its client\u2019s needs onsite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical assistants have experience as well as a basic level of knowledge in AV, sound and lighting. They can assist booth builders or technicians for example. Once they are given instructions, they can work independently without supervision. A technician is then required to approve the work accomplished. As opposed to a specialist, technical assistants are not responsible for the work accomplished onsite but they can work independently unlike a stagehand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From experience, when booking stagehands for example, it is highly beneficial to book one of the crew as a technical assistant to increase the quality of the crew. Or for even better results, instead of booking 6 stagehands, book 4 technical assistants: faster at lesser cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At artlogic, our new crew can start as stagehands and are given the opportunity to become a tech assist and evolve towards a technician position thanks to our internal training and great work\/projects in the events industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like further information on the types of crew we provide, please do not hesitate to contact your local artlogic office.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every few months, artlogic features a different type of event crew to offer a better understanding of its roles and responsibilities.
