Who We Are
At Pride Group, we support some of the largest events, festivals, conventions, sporting events, and operational projects throughout the Southwest. Our teams provide event operations, logistics, tenting, power distribution, fencing, warehouse support, ecology/sanitation services, staffing, and site infrastructure solutions for concerts, festivals, corporate events, and large-scale productions.

- Keep every event on schedule, on scope, and profitable
- Build the game plan: timelines, staffing, layouts, logistics
- Rally Operations, Sales, Warehouse, Ecology, Power, Transportation, and Site teams around one goal
- Run operational planning meetings, onsite check-ins, and post-event debriefs that make the next event even better
- Make confident calls when things move fast
- Own the budget — labor, equipment, profitability
- Coach and grow Event Coordinators
- Keep documentation tight: contracts, revisions, notes, reports
