Venue capacity & room configuration

Measured capacity for all room configurations — theater, classroom, rounds, reception, and banquet. Trident documents ceiling heights, column locations, and natural light conditions.

AV & technology

In-house AV capabilities, rigging points, power access, internet infrastructure, and vendor restrictions. Trident flags where outside vendors are prohibited and costs accordingly.

Accessibility & logistics

Loading dock access, elevator capacity, entry points, parking structure, and ADA compliance. Flagging logistical constraints before they become day-of problems.

F&B operations

Kitchen capacity, in-house catering requirements, approved outside catering vendors, minimum F&B spends, and alcohol policies documented for every venue.

Hotel room block quality

Room type inventory, corridor layout, room condition assessment, and distance from event space — not just total room count.

Competitive shortlist

Trident inspects multiple properties and delivers a ranked shortlist with written rationale for each — with a clear recommendation tied to your program requirements.

Does Trident charge for site inspections?

Site inspections are included at no additional cost for programs contracted through Trident. For planning-only engagements, a flat inspection fee applies.

How long does a site inspection take?

A standard hotel/convention property takes 2–3 hours. Full campus inspections typically run a full day. Reports are delivered within 72 hours of the inspection.

Can Trident conduct virtual site inspections?

Virtual walkthroughs are available as a complement to in-person inspections — useful for preliminary screening. Trident recommends in-person inspection before contract execution.

Site inspection deliverables — what Trident covers and how it is reported.

A site inspection is only useful if it produces actionable intelligence. Trident conducts in-person venue walkthroughs at Reno/Tahoe and Monterey properties and delivers a written report within 72 hours covering: capacity against the program's actual room configuration (not theoretical maximums), AV infrastructure and third-party AV compatibility, loading dock access and freight logistics, F&B service points and catering kitchen capacity, breakout room adjacency and noise isolation, accessibility compliance, and hotel room block quality relative to the meeting space.

For multi-property programs, Trident conducts comparative inspections across candidate venues and delivers a side-by-side recommendation with a clear rationale. The goal is not to validate a pre-selected venue — it's to surface constraints that affect program execution before they become on-site problems.

Site inspections are included at no additional cost for contracted Trident programs in Reno/Tahoe and Monterey. For properties outside the primary markets, inspections are scoped and priced per engagement. Trident does not conduct inspections on behalf of programs it will not manage — the inspection is tied to program accountability.
