How people manage audio/video stuff for temporary setups like festivals or conferences while keeping it compact (suitcase-sized) and with a decent cable management?

I've got an issue of cable management regarding the AV setup of the #Botconf and I'd like to improve it for the #Botconf2027. I'm thinking about precabling all the equipment with short and neatly organized cables and sending it as-is as a (modular) monolith. For this I'm thinking about a guitar pedal board (see pictures for example) or maybe a 10" #minirack which will be sent in a suitcase or a small flightcase.

I wonder how tech people from other confs like #39c3 #STIC @hackaday #supercon deal with this?

First day of the @botconf 2026! It's alive and kicking at https://m.youtube.com/BotconfTV

Here's an exclusive behind the scenes picture of the control room
(Don't mind the clusterfudge of cables :~)
