05.2

Three ways to engage.

Choose the path that matches HomeSmart's comfort level — full ownership, hybrid coordination, or a targeted starting scope.

Recommended

Option 01

Full Production Partnership

Centric delivers the full scope — general session, scenic and video, audio, lighting, rigging coordination, breakouts, pre-function, receptions, band night, labor, production management, and venue coordination.

  • Single point of accountability
  • One production lead, one schedule, one rigging plot
  • All backup planning included
  • Most leverage for value engineering

Option 02

Hybrid Production Model

Centric handles high-impact, high-savings areas while coordinating with the onsite team where it makes sense — meaningful budget improvement without changing everything in one cycle.

  • Main stage video and scenic execution
  • Digital signage / brand visuals
  • Reception concert / band night
  • Breakout rooms
  • Lighting and scenic enhancements

Option 03

Targeted Scope

A trust-building phase. Centric owns specific portions of the program — a low-risk way to evaluate our process without transitioning the entire event.

  • Digital signage and pre-function
  • Reception concert / band night
  • Breakouts
  • Scenic / lighting enhancements
  • Content capture
"Even if HomeSmart elects to keep portions of the event with the onsite team this year, Centric can still create measurable value by supporting specific areas of the program. This gives HomeSmart a low-risk way to reduce cost, evaluate Centric's process, and build trust without needing to transition the entire event at once.
