Our auto show services for event agencies

Pitch support

We’d love to help you win your pitch. Our Creative team provides concept consulting, and can also create presentations, renderings and animations.

In addition to your project concept, the presentation of your ideas is key to winning a pitch. A high-quality presentation of your proposals can make all the difference. We therefore feel that the quality of presentation documents is very important.

Our pitch support is usually free. However, if your pitch requires extensive presentation services, the terms of cooperation should be discussed. If you win your project with our support, we expect you to include us in the project.

Call us or send us an email if you would like to talk to us without obligation.

Visualization

High-quality presentation documents facilitate a professional presentation of your project – internally and externally. We prepare all the necessary material for you.

This includes sketches, illustrations, drawings, renderings, animations, websites, and fully produced films. The expense of creating presentation material should, of course, always be in proportion to the volume of the project. For smaller projects, drawings and renderings are usually created. Larger projects sometimes require more extensive presentations. Visualizations are drawn up in close consultation with you and the designers involved.

Call us or email the PRG Creative team, if you would like a free consultation on presentation materials.

Crew

A well-trained crew ensures the success of your event. We put together the team that is needed for your project.

In Germany, we employ over 300 skilled employees, more than 50 apprentices, and a pool of several hundred freelancers. Internationally, PRG has well over 2,000 full-time staff members. With this team, we run international projects of all types and sizes.

We book stagehands, hostesses, etc. from local service providers we regularly work with – to save on travel and accommodation costs. Due to the wide range of projects we service, we have our own specialists for almost every field. All key positions are manned by our own staff or freelancers we work closely with. Depending on the requirements, we use master craftsmen, engineers, high-altitude rescue workers, event technology specialists, pyrotechnicians, etc. Especially in difficult situations, it pays to work with qualified professionals. 

Booth building

We carry out conventional tradeshow booth building in close cooperation with renowned booth builders.

We choose our partners carefully, depending on the project, because not every booth builder is equally good at building every type of booth. For instance, one would choose a different supplier for standard booths than for a high-end custom construction.

Our advantage here is that after more than 25 years in the business, we have a very good overview of the companies in the market, and are therefore able to select the right booth builder. On request, we can also make recommendations and leave all the further booth-building steps to you.

Experience has shown that the need for coordination between the different works has become ever greater in recent years. Technical installations in particular are playing a more and more important role. During the implementation, it helps if the service providers know each other well and each know how the other works. This allows for solving small problems or questions without further ado.

Please do contact our experts when planning your next tradeshow appearance. We can offer the services tailored to your needs as a comprehensive package, or can put you in touch with appropriate partners. 

Furniture

There are a great many furniture suppliers on the market, with an even greater range of different items of furniture. The selection ranges from beer tables to high-end furniture classics. The art lies in selecting the right pieces to create the desired atmosphere at your event. Our designers will develop proposals that fit your event and provide you with visualizations. 

Media content

Simple video graphics, complex film productions or event websites: Our content specialists will gladly advise you.

We provide content for your terminals, screens, video projection or LED screens. For example, our graphic designers create charts and presentations, our Production people produce films and animations, and our web designers design and build websites, apps and other web applications. Our Creative Director supervises the creative designs and coordinates the whole team.

We are also happy to provide comprehensive consultation regarding hardware and content. We look at your communication goals and suggest which hardware and content you could use to achieve your goals.

Catering

Locations are often tied to specific caterers – in all other cases, we can recommend suitable caterers for your event.

Catering is often a very important component of the event. Therefore, everything should be exactly as you imagine it – from the equipment to the crew and the food concept. Catering budgets largely depend on the food and services selected, and usually range between €30 and €120 per person per day.

On request we offer catering services as part of our overall service, or put you directly in touch with the right partner. 

Rigging

Our riggers are there to help wherever there are loads to be borne. An event without rigging is hardly conceivable today – and not just at on-stage events.

Rigging refers to the hanging or positioning of loads. Riggers are responsible for the proper assembly and disassembly of the load-carrying devices and the loads attached to them. Static and dynamic loads are taken into account, along with the maximum load capacities of the suspension points and the overall construction, and the permissible distribution of loads. In outside areas, wind loads must also be considered.

The chief rigger is also responsible for ensuring that all necessary structural analyses have been obtained and are adhered to. 

Stage automation

"Flying" people or objects, turntables, lifting platforms, movable LED walls, etc. - the Stage Automation department handles the moving elements at your event.

Understandably, the strictest possible safety guidelines apply to the movement of loads or people over the audience. The requirements to be met by the technology are extremely high, as absolute reliability is necessary. The use of this kind of automation effects is therefore relatively expensive and requires plenty of preparation time.

However, the effort is worth it: Moving elements are usually a much-appreciated special effect – in some cases, they are even the highlight of the event.

Let our experienced specialists advise you.

Lighting

Simple lighting – or elaborate mood lighting with all kinds of effects? Our equipment and our expert staff allow us to meet all lighting requirements in the event area from our own inventory. Artificial or natural lighting, spot- or floodlighting, illumination, effects or decorative lighting – for over 25 years, lighting has been one of PRG’s core competencies. No other provider can deliver the selection and quantities we can offer you. We carry brands from many manufacturers and even produce our own product lines. This enables us to always provide our customers with what is best for their project. 

Video technology

Cameras, vision mixers, media servers, screens, projections, video walls – we not only provide the required technology, but also the appropriate crew of technicians and creative people for your project.

Video technology processes range from the production of a video signal, for example by a camera or the transmission of a computer signal, to editing using an editing program or a video mixer, to the recording or playback. Playback involves screens, projectors, LED walls or other (dis)play devices. Let us advise you!

Logistics

Transportation of personnel and materials, storage, travel organization – the logistics required in connection with an event are not to be underestimated.

Usually, technical subcontractors will handle the transport of their own equipment and crews. However, the larger the project or the greater the distance to the venue, the more useful it is to pool transport, flights, hotels, crew transport, etc. and plan and book these things centrally. The loading, unloading and on-site storage of materials should also be organized across subcontractors.

In larger projects, for instance, logistics may also include space planning for the outdoor areas and the scheduling of delivery traffic​​. 

Power

Whether from a fixed power supply or from generators – having reliable power at an event is crucial. We ensure there are no interruptions to the supply.

From 3 x 16A Schuko splitters to 3 x 2000 A distributors – our Power department handles the planning and implementation of your power supply. Many of our power distributors have network connections for remote monitoring of voltage, frequency, current and other data. This lets us immediately determine if a problem is indicated somewhere.

If the existing electrical outlets are not sufficient or if you want to use a redundant, network-independent system, mobile generators are used. We provide the required infrastructure from our own stocks – generators are usually rented from reputable local suppliers.

Approvals / Permits and structural reports

Our accredited experts take care of obtaining regulatory permits and produce the required records of inspections.

Rules for places of assembly, accident prevention regulations, and the Working Hours Act just some of the laws and directives that must be observed when planning to host an event. Depending on the type of event, it can quickly necessitate the involvement of five or more public authorities: e.g. the building authorities, air traffic control, police, fire department, trade inspection authorities, etc. One also needs to consider whether structural analyses, inspection books or special permits are required for the use of fireworks, lasers, and the like. GEMA, the German artists' social welfare fund, and the tax office (tax on foreigners, sales tax, etc.) will also demand their share.

There are so many different laws and regulations that only experienced professionals are able to take all the necessary measures into consideration.

Anyone who is not absolutely sure of who has – or is permitted to have – what responsibilities at an event should definitely get professional advice. Talk to our specialists. We will be happy to advise you.
