Most on site coordination packages cover between 8 and 12 hours, depending on how many vendors are involved. This generally accounts for setup supervision, the live program, and breakdown. For large-scale conferences, extended coverage is available and will be scoped during your consultation.
How is on site coordination priced?

In Miami, clients generally budget anywhere from $1,000 to $3,500 for a full day of professional on site coordination.
