Temporary Event Power Distribution
A successful event depends on more than having enough outlets.
Audio systems, lighting fixtures, LED walls, video equipment, staging systems, catering areas, activations, and production workspaces can place significant demands on a venue’s electrical infrastructure. Event Pros provides temporary event power distribution planning, equipment, installation, cable management, and onsite support for productions throughout Long Island, New York City, and the surrounding region.
From corporate meetings and galas to concerts, festivals, commencements, and outdoor events, our production team helps create a safe, organized, and dependable temporary power-distribution system for the equipment being used.

Power Distribution for Concerts and Festivals
Concert and festival production can require substantial temporary power for audio, lighting, video, backstage areas, concessions, vendors, and site operations.
Event Pros can help plan and distribute power for:

Main stages

Concert audio systems

Line-array speaker systems
-
Stage monitors and backline

We work with event organizers, venues, municipalities, production managers, electricians, and generator providers to create a coordinated power plan for the entire production site.
Corporate Event Power Distribution
Corporate events frequently require more power than a ballroom or meeting space was originally designed to support.
General sessions, conferences, galas, product launches, trade shows, and brand activations may include multiple screens, projection systems, LED walls, scenic lighting, audio systems, charging stations, catering equipment, and exhibitor displays.
Our team can create a temporary power-distribution plan that supports the production while keeping cable routes organized and minimizing disruption to guests and venue operations.
Corporate applications include:
-
Conferences and general sessions
-
Corporate meetings
-
Galas and awards programs
-
Product launches
-
Trade shows and exhibits
-
Brand activations
-
Press events
-
Livestreams and hybrid events
-
Outdoor corporate gatherings
-
Employee celebrations
When Event Pros is also providing the event’s audio, lighting, video, staging, or production management, we can integrate the power plan into the complete technical design.
Frequently Asked Questions
1
How do I know how much power my event needs?
The required power depends on the equipment being used, the electrical demand of each device, operating conditions, cable distances, available voltage, and whether equipment will be running simultaneously. Our team reviews the production equipment and vendor requirements before recommending a distribution plan.
2
Can Event Pros connect to a venue’s electrical system?
Connections to venue electrical systems depend on the venue, the available service, the connection type, and local requirements. Some venues require their own electrician or an approved licensed electrical contractor to make the final connection. Event Pros coordinates with the appropriate parties and handles the event-production distribution within the approved scope.
3
Can you distribute power from a generator?
Yes. We can plan and provide event-side distribution from a properly sized and approved generator system. Generator sizing, grounding, bonding, final connections, permits, and operation may require coordination with the generator provider, electrician, venue, or local authority.
6
Do you provide cable ramps?
Yes. Cable ramps and protective covers can be included for pedestrian, backstage, and vehicle crossing areas when appropriate. Final placement depends on the site layout and accessibility requirements.
5
Can you provide power for vendors and food service?
Yes, but vendor and catering requirements must be submitted in advance. Cooking appliances, refrigeration, heating equipment, and food trucks can require significant power and should be calculated separately from production equipment.
4
Do you provide generators?
Generator sourcing and coordination can be included when required. Generator availability, delivery, fuel service, operating requirements, and pricing depend on the event location and electrical load.
7
Can you provide an onsite power technician?
Yes. Onsite production support can be included for larger concerts, festivals, corporate events, and complex temporary power systems.
8
How early should power planning begin?
Power planning should begin during the early production-design stage, especially for outdoor events, concerts, festivals, and events involving generators. Early planning allows time to review venue capabilities, identify special connections, coordinate vendors, and secure the appropriate equipment.
