About Michel

I am a consultant and manager specialized in the technical direction and coordination of professional and institutional events: conferences, general meetings, forums, seminars, TV and webinar studios.

I support physical, hybrid, and digital events, where precision, reliability of systems, and coordination of technical teams are essential. My expertise has been built over hundreds of achievements in project management, event operations, and audiovisual production for over 60 public and private organizations.

I ensure mastery of the technical chain by managing the resources implemented and coordinating technical providers to allow organizers to focus on what matters most: content and their audiences.

1. DESIGN & PREPARATION
- Design of the technical system and stage organization
- Assistance with costing, quote analysis, and provider selection
- Administration and configuration of platforms and tools used for the event: registration, interactivity, broadcast, translation, monetization.
- Creation of templates and branding, centralization and synchronization of content.

2. TECHNICAL & OPERATIONAL SECURITY DURING THE EVENT
- Testing, validation, and supervision of technical installations
- Formalization of the run sheet, organization of rehearsals and technical run-throughs
- Cueing and coordination of technical teams
- Vigilance on high-stakes points, activation of backup plans
- Support for organizers, moderators, hosts, and speakers: information relay, instructions, timekeeping, unforeseen event management.

3. ENHANCEMENT & CAPITALIZATION
Archiving and distribution of content, reports, formalization of lessons learned.

What if we built your next event together? Let's discuss your objectives to imagine a smooth, reliable, and adapted system for your audiences.
