1. Define objectives: Audience, message, KPIs, budget, schedule.
2. Concept & constraints: Creative brief, site survey, safety/regulatory constraints.
3. Design & prototyping: Storyboards, models, technical drawings, lightweight mockups.

5. Execute: Load-in, dress rehearsals, live run; monitor through production.
6. Evaluate & recycle: Post-event analysis, salvage reusable materials, document lessons.
