How to use this template

Copy/paste the sections below into your RFP. Keep deliverables and timelines explicit. If you want predictable results, write audio and slides like technical requirements—not “nice-to-haves.”


A) Event overview

  • Event name: [Insert]

  • Dates: [Insert]

  • Venue: [Insert] (include address + room list)

  • Attendance: [Insert]

  • Program format: keynotes / plenaries / breakouts / workshops / expo: [Insert]

  • Rooms running concurrently: [Insert]

  • AV provider contact: [Insert name/email/phone]


B) Video scope

B1) Keynotes + plenaries (required)

  • Capture: single-cam or multi-cam [Specify]

  • Audio: board feed requested + backup audio path required

  • Deliverable: one edited file per session (clean trims + consistent naming)

B2) Breakout sessions (if applicable)

  • Number of rooms: [Insert]

  • Overlap schedule: [Insert]

  • Audio plan per room: [Insert]

  • Deliverable: one file per session, consistent titles/exports

B3) Panels + Q&A (if applicable)

  • Mic requirements: include audience Q&A capture plan

  • Camera coverage: [Specify wide + tight + optional audience]


C) Slide integration requirements

Vendors must propose one method:

  • Deck-file workflow (preferred): vendor collects PPTX/KEY/PDF and aligns timing

  • Program feed capture: AV provides a feed and vendor records it

  • Fallback: screen capture only if no other source is available

Required: vendor must confirm how they handle late deck changes and version updates.


D) Deliverables (define these clearly)

Minimum deliverables (edit as needed):

  • One file per talk/session (H.264, 1080p)

  • Audio requirements: intelligible delivered mix; vendor describes redundancy

  • Optional: picture-in-picture slides

  • Optional: captions (SRT/VTT) + transcript (DOCX/PDF)

  • Optional: 60–120s recap + social cutdowns (9:16 + 1:1)


E) File naming + delivery structure

Require vendors to describe:

  • folder structure (by day / by room / by session)

  • naming convention example

  • delivery method (Drive/Dropbox/portal)

  • revision window and feedback process


F) Photography scope

Required coverage (edit):

  • keynote speakers (hero shots + wide branding context)

  • audience engagement + networking

  • sponsor booths + signage (logos readable)

  • room setups before doors open

  • VIP/group photos (if needed)

Deliverables:

  • curated selects (fast posting) + full gallery (archive)

  • optional sponsor packs (folders per sponsor)


G) Operational requirements

  • load-in window + access rules

  • camera placement restrictions (FOH, aisles, risers)

  • power locations and cable safety

  • insurance requirements [Insert]

  • redundancy plan (media backup, audio backup)


H) Vendor questions (force clarity)

  1. How will you capture board feed audio and what backups will you run?

  2. How will you capture audience Q&A?

  3. How will you integrate slides (deck vs program feed)?

  4. How do you scale for multi-room breakouts?

  5. What is your file naming + delivery workflow for 20–80 sessions?

  6. What is your standard vs rush turnaround?

  7. Who owns the footage and what usage rights are included?

  8. How do you handle revision rounds and approvals?

  9. What is your redundancy plan (media backup, audio backup)?

  10. Provide 2–3 relevant examples (talk video + slides + clean audio).
