When the Unexpected Happens, Evolve Has Your Back

In the world of live events, things change fast. A client wants to add another LED wall. A piece of gear fails mid-show. A last-minute request comes in that could make or break the event. AV professionals don’t have time for delays—they need solutions fast.

That’s where Evolve steps in. More than just a rental company, we solve problems, even when time is running out. Just ask Kel Leach, Director of Production Services at Pinnacle Live, who has experienced firsthand how Evolve comes through when it matters most.

A Partner That Picks Up the Phone—Every Time

Live events don’t wait, and neither does Evolve. Leach needed a partner he could rely on, day or night.

“One of the tools I like to keep in my back pocket is a nice roster of preferred vendors that I can call on who will pick up that phone anytime, day or night, and help me overcome whatever technical difficulties we may have on site.”

Evolve isn’t just a vendor—it’s an extension of your team. When a critical piece of equipment is needed, we don’t just check inventory—we find a solution.

Making the Impossible Happen: A Last-Minute Save

Leach recalls a moment when he faced an urgent, unexpected challenge. He needed equipment that wasn’t even in Evolve’s inventory. Instead of saying no, Evolve found a way.

“I called Javier Reyes at Evolve as a total Hail Mary and said, ‘Hey, I need X, Y, and Z. I know you don’t have it, but do you know anyone who does?’”

Despite not having the gear on hand, Reyes made calls, leveraged industry connections, and secured the equipment needed to keep the event on track.

“Javier called a few of the partners in the market and was able to roll their purchase orders onto our purchase with Evolve. It made all the difference between the show happening and not happening.”

This is The Evolve Difference—we don’t just rent gear, we ensure your event succeeds.

Reliable Equipment, No Surprises

Beyond finding last-minute solutions, Evolve ensures every piece of gear is event-ready. When Pinnacle Live rents from Evolve, they know they’re getting:

Fully QC’d Equipment – Every item is tested before it ships out.
Complete Packages – No missing cables, processors, or unexpected surprises.
Fast Replacements – If something goes wrong, a backup is on the way—immediately.

“What really helps our technicians out in the field is the QC process that begins in the warehouse. Working with a partner like Evolve, we can trust that the equipment that left the warehouse is going to be in a condition that works when it arrives on site.”

With Evolve, you don’t just get equipment—you get peace of mind.
