Staffing & Labor Rates
Main content start
Our staffing is split into two categories: Event Crew and Media Technicians
- Event Crew: Furnishings, tables, chairs, staging, in-room furniture set-up.
- Media Technicians: Audio, video, multimedia, soft-goods, recording, lighting.
- Rates: Listed rates are per-person, per-hour.
- Billing Units: We bill in 1/4 hour increments for Event Crew and 1 hour increments for Media Technicians.
We recommend you consider...
- Complexity of your event
- Coordination with other shops
- Scheduling appropriate set-up & removal times with the venue
- Technicians "per department": sound, video, lighting, recording
- Larger events: rapid room flips may require several staff members
- Venue & auditoria requirements (e.g. technology replacement fees)
- Labor for set-up & removal of equipment
* Premium rate is charged from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on recognized Stanford University Holidays and during the Winter Closure.
