The Pre-Event Walkthrough Why 30 minutes before doors open changes everything

The 30-minute pre-event walkthrough before doors open is crucial for event success. As an experienced photographer, I can distinguish events that have included this step. During this time, I collaborate with the event organiser to identify VIPs, confirm photo restrictions, review must-have shots, and understand the event's narrative. With the AV team, I check lighting, look at camera positions and check the speaker details.

This walkthrough prevents surprises, like missing important lighting effects. For organisers, this brief preparation results in hundreds of quality photos. Do you schedule a walkthrough in your event planning?
