A complete pre-event checklist for 360 booth operators covering equipment, files, power, sharing, safety, and fallback planning.
At a glance
A clear framework to understand your budget, run your offer more effectively, and turn leads into bookings with greater consistency.
Most event failures begin before guests arrive. A structured checklist helps you catch missing files, low batteries, forgotten adapters, weak sharing plans, and venue constraints before they become public problems.
Use this checklist as a repeatable operating routine, and adapt it to your exact gear and event type.
Seven days before the event
- Confirm date, schedule, and on-site contact details.
- Check venue access, parking, loading path, elevator rules, and setup window.
- Ask about floor type, available space, and power access.
- Confirm branding files, spellings, logo versions, and music choices.
- Verify guest count, expected peak periods, and any special constraints.
- Review the contract, payment status, and any delivery promises.
Two or three days before
- Create the event in the software and name files clearly.
- Import overlays, intros, outros, and approved music.
- Test several videos under different lighting conditions.
- Check account access, app status, and software licensing.
- Review your travel route and timing.
The day before: equipment
- Platform, rotating arm, phone mount, and remote control.
- Primary and backup phone or tablet.
- Lights, stands, power supplies, and extension cables.
- Barriers, stanchions, mats, and signage if used.
- Decor, props, and branded physical elements.
- Cases, trolley, straps, tools, and cleaning cloths.
The day before: power and storage
- Charge all devices fully.
- Clear enough storage for the full event.
- Pack chargers, spare cables, power banks, and adapters.
- Save local copies of all visual assets.
- Test the workflow without internet if offline reliability matters.
On site before opening
- Secure the installation and check guest circulation.
- Verify framing, lighting, and platform stability.
- Run several test videos.
- Test the main sharing method and the backup method.
- Review the operator script so instructions stay short and consistent.
Why the checklist matters
A checklist does not replace experience, but it makes experience repeatable. It is especially important when multiple operators work together or when branded events leave little room for improvisation.
The best operators look calm on site because they removed avoidable surprises earlier.
Conclusion
A reliable event service is usually the result of disciplined preparation. A clear checklist protects your client experience, your margin, and your reputation.
