Tony, I envy your opportunity to participate in the
Phoenix event. Here is what I suggest: Start with
Saiger products. There may be others later but you will be using high quality stuff that you don’t have to over think.
Watch all the youtube you can stand to get overall impressions. Then start with your own home, set up, use and take down your equipment. Volunteer to do a local church, United Way or other charity for the experience.
As you run into new stuff, ask and research. Never never never promise perfection. Oh: get liability insurance today.
Build your business until your equipment can’t keep up, then buy better.
