Gated Trade Program

    Bright Frame Trade Partners

    A private program for event planners, experiential agencies and AV companies who need an equipment and logistics partner behind the scenes. Access is approval-gated: request access, and once approved you unlock trade pricing, dry hire inventory, self-perform logistics tools, and a reduced partner deposit to hold dates.

    Deposit & Booking Terms

    Reduced Deposits & Partner Rates — Unlocked After Approval
