AIRBNB OPEN LA

CLIENT:

Airbnb

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Airbnb Open is an international life-style and best practices conference held annually in locations around the world.  The festival highlights travel and hospitality in a specific location and culture. 

Roughhouse coordinated all shipping and receiving as well as assisting with event build-out and project management for the event.  Production support relating to Airbnb partners and all back-of-house load-in and load-out was identified and executed.  Throughout this three-day event, spanning 17 venues in downtown Los Angeles and one warehouse in the southern reaches of the city, the Roughhouse team tracked, coordinated and delivered services in a timely and professional manner. 

Due to the range in location and size of venues, the number of independent contractors being hired late in the game, the Roughhouse team worked outside of the box to encourage success in all realms of the project.  With a short timeline for preparation and a complex partner environment, many on the spot decisions and directions were required.  The original scope of work was accomplished.  Our work went above and beyond expectation. 

Production services spread from tracking documents, developing schedules, multi-departmental communications, and everyday grunt work.  Success was attained and delivered for all stakeholders.

Communication: Clear, direct and constructive

Planning: Coordinated, tracked, well-staffed

Relationships: Adaptive, cooperative, effective

CONCLUSION:

The Airbnb Open LA project aligned with the Roughhouse teams' strengths of organization, thinking on our feet and created collaborative, positive work environments.  Co-workers and contractors on this project were impressed with the flexibility and readiness of our team.  Roughhouse aims for this result in all we do.
