Dear Ms. Foster,
As a company built by Arizona State University alumni, our company, TechCon
Consulting, has become one of the leaders in special event sound equipment
rental in the Valley. And as ASU alumni, we have all heard of the annual twelve-
hour Dance Marathon that is put on to benefit the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Our company has strove to provide only the best in sound equipment, as well as
training our staff in not only quick assembly and dismantling of the equipment,
but also proper usage. We have DJs trained in EDM (Electronic Dance Music), the
type of music that is popular at events such as this, especially amongst college
students. And by hiring equipment and personnel from the same source, you are
guaranteed to have someone who is familiar with their equipment and knows
how to use it.
By choosing to “amplify your event” with TechCon, you will be assured a night
to remember with quality equipment and personnel, all at a competitive rate. We
thank you for considering our proposal and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Brittany O’Connor
Senior TechCon Consultant

Introduction
The annual Arizona State University Dance Marathon is on the horizon,
meaning preparations need to be made within the next few months. On February
27th, 2016, students will have the opportunity to dance the night away in support
of the Phoenix Children’s Hospital, after having fundraised for the months leading
up to the event. We at TechCon Consulting would like for our services to be used
at the event, as something as important as this deserves only the best. Since the
biggest part of the Dance Marathon is in fact the dancing, a top-notch sound
system and well-trained staff is going to be needed.
Our proposal is for TechCon Consulting to provide the 2016 ASU Dance
Marathon resources to ensure that perfect sound and DJing skills are brought for
the dancers to enjoy. With our high quality equipment and experienced staff on
hand, we can give the students a fun, meaningful night to remember to reward
them for all the hard work they have done. We also, in the spirit of the event,
would like to wave our equipment delivery, set up and dismantling fee so that
more of the money generated at the Dance Marathon can go to those in need.
With our top-of-the-line equipment, highly skilled staff and sensible
pricing, we at TechCon Consulting feel like this is the perfect opportunity to show
the ASU Dance Marathon planning Committee what we can bring to the table.
Current Situation
As it stands, the ASU Dance Marathon planning committee probably
already has a DJ and sound rental company from past years that is likely to be
used again for the 2016 event. However, using both equipment and personnel
for the event from TechCon can give the Dance Marathon a breath of fresh air
with top-rated sound equipment and a talented staff to run it, all at a highly
competitive rate. Since TechCon specializes in EDM (electronic dance music), the
DJs on-staff are well versed in what the college-age dancers want to hear.

Qualifications
TechCon Consulting has quickly grown to one of the most highly sought
after special events sound equipment companies in not only the Phoenix Metro
area, but also the entire Valley. The staff used at special events includes highly
trained and experienced DJs who know the music of this particular target
market: college students. But a staff would be nowhere without its equipment,
which is why TechCon has invested heavily in only the finest of sound
equipment, ensuring that every event has a crisp, clear soundtrack. The
company also has had consulting done by local music and sound experts to
create “packages” of musical equipment based on the size and type of the event.
For the Dance Marathon, a package has been created based on the estimated
size of the room and number of participants, figured by statistics from previous
years.
Project Plan
Below is a step-by-step plan of TechCon’s arrival, assembly, usage,
dismantling and haul away for the day of the Dance Marathon.
1. Arrive at the location of the Dance Marathon: 10am
2. Set up equipment: 10-11am
3. Sound check: 11-11:30
4. Personnel Break: 11:30-11:45
5. Dance Marathon: 11:45am -12:00am
6. Dismantle and load up equipment: 12:00am- 1:00am
TechCon believes in prompt assembly and disassembly of its equipment, and if
the equipment is late or takes over the designated time to disassemble, there is
a money-back guarantee for the setup costs.

Equipment and Personnel Rental Fees
Below is the recommended equipment and TechCon personnel package
needed for such an event.

With the Dance Marathon meant to last twelve hours with three hours of
additional assembly and disassembling, this would bring the total cost to $6,375

up and dismantling fee for the night in the spirit of the event, but the staff will
still be paid for their services for the further three hours they are on site.
