VIP
VIP protocol as production: cars, names and quiet staff
2026-07-22
VIP work is mostly traffic, names and restraint. Flowers are the easy part.
Write the honour order
Who is greeted first, who sits where, who may be photographed. If the host cannot answer, the event is not ready.
Holding rooms need chairs, water, and a clock — not a leftover closet.
Staffing
Fewer people, better briefed. Ushers who perform enthusiasm in a protocol line are a liability.
Devices and social posting default to no unless the host says yes.
