IT Support & Helpdesk Services
On-site event IT crews and managed helpdesk services — fast-response engineers who keep registration, AV, networks, and devices running.
Every event is a temporary company: a network, a device fleet, mission-critical software, and hundreds of users — assembled in a day and dismantled in another. ZebIQ provides the IT department for that company. Our event support crews handle the full technical surface: registration and check-in systems, presentation management and speaker-ready rooms, exhibitor connectivity issues, device troubleshooting, printer recovery, and the unglamorous-but-vital work of cable runs and charge points.
We operate on response-time discipline. Support is structured with a visible helpdesk plus roaming engineers on radio, ticket tracking for accountability, and severity-based SLAs — a failed registration counter at 8:45 a.m. is a sprint, not a queue. Pre-event, we run readiness checks on every system in scope, so day one starts from verified-working rather than hopeful.
Beyond events, we provide ongoing managed IT for SMEs and agencies: remote helpdesk, device and network management, security hygiene (patching, backups, MFA), and vendor coordination — the same operational discipline, on a monthly rhythm instead of a show clock.

Frequently asked
It depends on systems in scope, attendee count, and venue spread more than headline size. As a guide, a 1,000-delegate single-venue conference typically runs well with a helpdesk lead plus two or three roaming engineers; multi-hall exhibitions scale up per zone. We size this formally during scoping rather than guessing.
Yes — events are always mixed estates. We take support scope over third-party registration platforms, rented AV, and venue infrastructure, provided we get access for pre-event readiness checks. Anything we cannot verify in advance is flagged honestly as best-effort.
We commit severity-based targets in the SLA: show-stopping issues (registration down, main-hall failure) draw immediate response, typically under five minutes with proper crew sizing; routine issues are tracked and resolved within agreed windows. Every ticket is time-stamped, so performance is measurable, not anecdotal.
