Experience that improves the outcome.
Experience matters when it helps make better technical choices, spot problems early and keep the solution appropriate to the event.
Understand the outcome
Start with what the client wants the audience to see, hear or experience.
Choose appropriate equipment
Build the technical solution around the requirement rather than unnecessarily complicating it.
Spot risks early
Practical experience helps identify technical or logistical issues before they become problems.
Work with the budget
Adjust the approach where a simpler solution delivers the right result more efficiently.
