 How to Get The Right Gear and People, in the Right Place, at the Right Time

Whether transporting personnel and materials, storage, or organizing travel, the logistics required in connection with an event are not to be underestimated.

The loading, unloading and on-site storage of materials also needs to be organized.  Logistics may also include space planning for the outdoor areas and the scheduling of delivery traffic​​.
