Learn who we are here at VENA and what we are setting out to accomplish.

An interactive browser tool that allows event planners to dynamically select parameters for their event and get a recommendation on bandwidth requirements that they can use when planning with a venue.

Practical write-ups on running networks for venues and events, written from the show floor. Topics range from exhibitor Wi-Fi to what to hardwire for a show, and how AV and IT work together. 

Free, editable checklists for the work that has to happen before doors open. Use them for show network planning, exhibitor connectivity, vendor handoffs, and onsite backup plans. Make a copy and adapt it to your venue or event. 

Newsletters from around the event tech and venue IT spaces collected into one spot for easy browsing. 

Virtual conversations where venue and event IT professionals compare notes, share what’s working, and talk through what isn’t. Roundtables are starting soon. Join VENA to get an invite to the first one. 

Plain-language definitions of the network terms that come up when planning and running events that exhibitor, planners, and event teams can use to help understand what they need from the venue.

Venue Spotlight features the people behind the networks at venues and events, from venue IT leads to production network techs and the teams that keep shows connected. Each month, one guest shares how their team works, what they’ve learned the hard way, and what they’re watching next.
