Events require extensive planning and near perfect execution to pull off successfully. Aside from the obvious tasks, one needs to be able to forecast the less obvious pitfalls and have contingency plans. Glissemedia has had years planning and executing difficult outdoor and motor-sports events.
Whether it is a sports entertainment event, training, or competition, Glissemedia can manage everything from from planning and permitting, through execution and tear-down. We are available for complete event management or any component including spectator and participant safety.
