Direct answer

What should an organiser send an AV supplier?

send the programme, floor plan, audience, access window, outputs and acceptance checks

How to apply this answer

Send the same controlled brief to every quoting party. Lead with outcomes and operating facts so different technical proposals still respond to the same job. Mark unknown items instead of allowing each party to use a different assumption.

How to verify the decision

Before sending, check that another person could identify what must work, when, where and who owns each dependency.

Facts to put in the brief

  • Event date, operating hours, venue, room, audience and floor plan.
  • Programme order covering speeches, presentations, performances, playback, remote participation and recording.
  • Access, setup, rehearsal, doors-open, teardown and room-handover times.

Example decision record

A useful first pack includes the agenda, annotated floor plan, speaker and performer list, final presentation format, access schedule, venue technical rules and required recording files.
