If your presentation includes video material and music, we hope that the presentation will be delivered in advance to ensure that the files work and that the presentation runs smoothly. Tampereen Messut Oy is responsible for the Teosto fees for music played on the program stages.

The program stages and facilities are in continuous use, so we hope that your performance/event will stay within the schedule.

Please note, and take into account when designing the program, that the main stage’s program times include;
* arriving on stage and leaving the stage
* the program itself
* 1-2min for the stage host

The program stages have a technician and a program assistant who help with technical matters. We hope that the performer will arrive near the performance area no later than 15 minutes before the start of their own performance.
