For years, the live events industry has treated cross-rental as a backup plan.

Need a few fixtures? Call a friend.
Short a console? Make some calls.
Missing a line array? Start texting.

But what happens when cross-rental stops being occasional and becomes a core operating strategy?

We recently analyzed the first wave of activity on GearShare, and the results are clear:

• Companies are using cross-rental to fulfill more shows without CapEx
• Idle inventory is finding new revenue opportunities
• Access is becoming more valuable than ownership
• Gear is becoming a connected network vs isolated warehouses

This is happening now.

Companies who adapt fastest will have access to more inventory, more opportunities, and more flexibility than those trying to own everything.

Take a look at the data and let me know if you’re seeing the same trend in your market.
