In the Cape Town event market, the question "How much does it cost to hire a projector?" is often the wrong starting point. The real question is: "What is the cost of technical failure during my presentation?"
For an international summit at the CTICC or a high-stakes board meeting in the Foreshore, the hardware is only 20% of the equation. The remaining 80% is the engineering, the logistics, and the professional oversight that ensures your message is delivered without interruption.
2026 Budgeting: Managed Production vs. Dry Hire
While "Dry Hire" (collecting a box and setting it up yourself) might seem budget-friendly, it carries a high Reputational Risk. Professional planners in Cape Town are increasingly moving toward Managed Technical Solutions.
| Feature | "Dry Hire" Rental | JJ Event AV Managed Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Logistics | Self-collection/Return | White-Glove Delivery & Setup |
| Reliability | Zero Redundancy | Backup Units & Signal Kits |
| Quality | Consumer Grade | Tour-Grade Laser Projection |
| Risk Level | HIGH | ZERO-FAILURE |
