Simon Illedits is a co-founder of Renty and writes about event technology for the Renty guide. He is responsible for the selection and testing of the entire rental inventory of sound, lighting, and media equipment. His focus is on how to properly size technology and set it up without any prior knowledge.
Simon Illedits is a co-founder of Renty and oversees the product range: which devices are added to the rental inventory, how they are tested and maintained, and how the plug-and-play packages are assembled. His connection to technology predates Renty. As a teenager, he built hi-fi systems and amplifiers, and he has been working as a DJ for over eight years, primarily at private parties and corporate events.
In 2022, he co-founded Renty in Graz with André Deutsch and Jakob Puck. When selecting equipment, he ensures that it remains easy to operate without instruction, as most customers are not technicians but people hosting their own events. Brands like HK Audio, LD Systems, SOUNDBOKS, JBL, and Pioneer DJ are in the inventory precisely because of this selection process.
In the Renty guide, Simon writes about event technology: sizing sound systems based on room size and guest count, speaker placement, lighting atmosphere and fog, projectors and screens, and power supply. He also points out limitations, such as the fact that projectors up to around 5,200 lumens cannot keep up in full daylight.

GEMA registration is handled online via the GEMA online portal: create an account, enter the event details including date, location, area, admission, and type of music, then submit. There is no fixed deadline in days, but the registration must be received before the event. For live music, the setlist is added afterward; GEMA sets a six-week deadline for this following the event.
An event budget clearly separates fixed costs, variable costs per guest, and revenue. A common mistake is a buffer that is too small; 10 to 15 percent should be included in every calculation. Here you will find the categories, three sample calculations for different types of events, and a template to download.
A summer party invitation should include the occasion, date, start and end times, location, dress code, and an RSVP deadline. It is essential to state whether guests can bring a plus-one, as this affects headcount and planning. Here you will find three templates to copy, tips on design and distribution, and a checklist.
A public viewing event rests on three pillars: legal classification, noise protection, and lag-free transmission. As soon as access is not restricted to personally invited guests, the event is considered public, which triggers licensing requirements and permits. This guide shows which framework suits which guest count, why satellite is preferable to streaming, and how to size your projector, screen, and sound system.
Graduation ball tickets serve two purposes at once: they are proof of admission and the first announcement of the evening. The ticket should include the date, location, admission time, price, and a note on the dress code. Here you will find design templates, a comparison of printing options, a cost overview, and legal points.
You can calculate the power requirements of a carnival float in two steps: add up the wattage of all devices, then multiply by the duration of the parade. The result in watt-hours determines the size of the power station. For most parades, this is a more practical choice than a gasoline generator because it runs quietly and produces no exhaust fumes.
You can plan a company Christmas party in ten steps, starting with the goal and budget and ending with the evening's schedule. The critical point is the date, as popular venues are often booked up by spring for the Advent season. Here you will find all the steps, including a checklist, theme ideas, technical requirements, and tax information.
Anyone playing music in public in Austria must deal with AKM, whether it's a live band, a DJ, or a Spotify playlist. This guide explains when AKM fees apply, how tariffs are calculated based on venue size, admission, and event type, and how to register your event at least three days in advance to avoid surcharges and penalties.
You can plan a company event in five steps: goal and budget, date and venue, program, technology, and schedule. Venues and dates should be locked in four to six months in advance, or even earlier for Advent events in large cities. Here you will find all the steps, including a timeline, ideas, technical tips, and a downloadable checklist.
You should plan a summer party two to three months in advance, and the most important point is a backup plan for the weather: a covered area or an indoor space for all guests. Next come the budget, location, program, and equipment. Here you will find the complete guide with a checklist, timeline, and cost-per-person calculation.
Event liability insurance, often called organizer liability insurance, covers third-party claims if someone is injured or property is damaged at your event. It reviews every claim, defends against unjustified ones, and pays the justified ones. It becomes necessary as soon as a private party becomes an event—i.e., when there is an admission fee, beverage service, a stage, an open guest list, or a public venue. It is available as a one-off policy for a single event or as an annual policy for clubs and companies with multiple events, with premiums based on visitor numbers, event type, venue size, and program.
As soon as music is played publicly at your event, GEMA fees apply, whether it's a live band, DJ, or playlist. The deciding factor is the public nature of the event, not the admission fee. This guide explains when fees apply, how tariffs are calculated based on area and admission, and how to register in time to avoid late-filing surcharges.
