Presidential Debate

Southeast Staging handled the load-in, build, and setup of the stage used for the presidential debate. The stage served as the platform for the debate and accommodated members of the press. Because the event took place in an arena, the work focused on building and positioning the stage within the existing venue rather than installing risers. SES returned after the event to complete the load-out.

SES delivered the central platform for the debate and press, completing the build within the event schedule and clearing the space through load-out afterward. Having one team handle the staging from arrival through removal helped keep the arena setup organized around the live event.

SES managed the staging work from load-in through load-out. Our team brought in the necessary staging components, built and positioned the debate stage, and prepared it for use by the debaters and press. After the event, we dismantled the stage and completed the load-out, coordinating the work around the arena’s production schedule.

The client needed a stage built inside an arena that could support the debate and accommodate the press, with setup and removal completed around the venue’s schedule. SES handled the load-in, stage build, and load-out, giving the event team a ready-to-use platform and a coordinated path to clear it afterward.
