Lighting, Rigging, and Power in Omaha covers truss design, motor counts, fixture plots, and the venue-approved electrical drops. The Omaha calendar runs through CHI Health Center, the Mid-America Center, La Vista Embassy, and a few others, and the power is formed by those buildings rather than a citywide template.
Omaha venues each publish their own rules for what the power covers in their building and what it does not. A the power engagement is sized to the specific venue, the specific show, and the published exhibitor kit, not a generic template.
Booked against an Omaha date, the power ties directly into freight, labor, AV, and closeout. The power schedule, drawings, and orders ride a single venue plan; field crews work one set of documents from kickoff through strike.
Lighting, Rigging, and Power execution priorities
- Confirm the show, the venue, the dates, and the named approver before lighting, rigging, and power work commits to fabrication or freight.
- Match lighting, rigging, and power scope to the venue's published exhibitor kit. Omaha venues each have their own published exhibitor rules, and the Lighting, Rigging, and Power plan is built to match each one.
- Tie lighting, rigging, and power timelines to freight arrival, labor calls, and the show-services portal deadlines so nothing arrives ahead of the plan.
- Coordinate lighting, rigging, and power handoffs with booth, AV, graphics, and storage so no team is guessing which version is current.
- Document truss design, motor counts, fixture plots, and the venue-approved electrical drops in a single source of truth: drawings, orders, approvals, and change-order log all in one place.
- Keep one named show-site lead from lighting, rigging, and power kickoff through strike so accountability does not pass between hands mid-run.
What Lighting, Rigging, and Power actually covers
The power is truss design, motor counts, fixture plots, and the venue-approved electrical drops. The power scope is bound to the show date, the venue, and that venue's exhibitor kit.
In Omaha, that means the power for a CHI Health Center date is not the same plan as a Mid-America Center date or a La Vista Conference Center date. Buildings carry different rules, and the power flexes to the one hosting the show.
Inside the project, the power ties directly into the rest of the booth or event scope so the schedule, the drawings, and the show-services orders all reference the same plan.
How Lighting, Rigging, and Power fits the Omaha calendar
Downtown CHI Health Center dates run on MECA's published rules, and the power fits inside that workflow. The power on a La Vista Embassy date runs through the connected conference-center workflow. The power at a fairgrounds venue follows that building's published exhibitor and event rules end to end.
The result is that a the power engagement on the Omaha calendar is venue-specific from kickoff, not citywide.
What's typically in scope on a Lighting, Rigging, and Power engagement
Discovery on a the power engagement opens with the show, the venue, the dates, the headcount, the headline objectives, and a budget envelope. From there the power narrows into the deliverable list for the date.
The power typically lines up: design or planning, fabrication or sourcing, freight, labor, on-site supervision, and a closeout pack. Specific lines depend on which Omaha venue is hosting.
How a Lighting, Rigging, and Power project actually runs
Project kickoff for the power pins the show, the venue, the approver, and the budget envelope; the rest of the work points to that single plan.
Pre-show closeouts on the power happen in time for the venue's advance-warehouse or direct-to-show window to absorb crating and freight.
On the power engagements one named show-site lead runs move-in, show hours, and strike as a single chain. The power runs under one named show-site lead, with the floor plan and punch list in hand from crates to doors.
On the power dates the daily standup pulls the booth team, the venue services rep, and the supervisor onto one call sheet; issues get logged, fixed, and signed before the next morning.

Custom the power runs cleanest at 16 to 20 weeks. Rental or kit-based work fits in 8 to 12. Sub-four-week the power dates are buildable, with surcharges and a smaller fabrication and freight menu.
The power pricing splits by deliverable: design, fabrication or sourcing, graphics, AV, freight, labor, and supervision. Each the power line ties to the specific Omaha venue and its published service rates.
Any the power change order on the floor gets logged, priced on the portal, and approved before crew touches it.

Questions about Lighting, Rigging, and Power
What does Lighting, Rigging, and Power include?
Truss design, motor counts, fixture plots, and the venue-approved electrical drops, sized to the specific Omaha venue, show, and exhibitor kit.
How is this work scoped against an Omaha venue?
By the building's own published rules. CHI Health Center, the Mid-America Center, La Vista Embassy, Charles Schwab Field, and the rest each publish different exhibitor and event kits, and the power plan rides each one specifically.
How much lead time does the program need?
Custom work runs cleanest at 16 to 20 weeks. Rental or kit-based work fits in 8 to 12. Sub-4-week the power dates are workable but bring surcharges and fewer fabrication, freight, and crew options.
Who owns this service on site?
One named show-site lead, from kickoff through strike. On the power dates one lead owns the floor: floor plan, punch list, change-order log, all in one set of hands.
How is the plan priced?
The power is priced by deliverable across design, fabrication, graphics, AV, freight, labor, and supervision. Every quote line for the power maps to the venue's portal rate and the labor call that was actually approved.
Can this work inside an EAC engagement?
Yes. Certificates of insurance, scope letters, and approval from the show's general contractor get filed before the crew is on site, and the power scope follows the venue's EAC rules for that specific show.
