VECTORWORKS FOR AV PROFESSIONALS: FROM DESIGN TO DELIVERY

Instructor: Ryan Wade

This hands-on Vectorworks training is designed for AV, lighting, and production professionals who want to design smarter, communicate more clearly, and build workflows that hold up in the real world. Led by industry professional Ryan Wade, this one-day class introduces the tools and techniques used to create professional drawings, organize project information, and bring event concepts to life from design through delivery.Vectorworks has become an essential part of modern production planning. From floor plans and schematics to 3D renderings and paperwork, it gives AV professionals the ability to build accurate, scalable show files that support both creative vision and technical execution.Throughout the day, students will learn the workflows that matter most on actual projects, including how to set up drawings, organize layers, build symbols, and generate the kinds of documentation clients and crews rely on. The goal is not just to learn the software, but to understand how to use it in a way that saves time, improves accuracy, and supports better project delivery.
