A New Model Of Partnership

Who's On Your Side Of The Table?

For 30 years, hotels and convention centers have had a trusted advocate protecting their interests: the in-house AV vendor.
Most groups don't have anyone protecting their brand and reputation.
That's the strategic gap costing you more than you think.

What if you had:

  • A partner you trusted to source your AV production needs?
  • An AV partner to help oversee planning, execution, and debrief?
  • What if it didn't cost anything?

Introducing YOUR AV DEPARTMENT.

The Model

Why This Doesn't Cost You Anything

Your AV Department is compensated by our production partners, not by you, after the event.

It works the same way a buyer's agent does in real estate: we represent your interests, negotiate on your behalf, and get paid out of the deal itself, so expert sourcing and project management come at no additional cost to your event budget.

Won't that just get built into your price? Actually, no, and here's why.

Most production companies carry a team of salaried sales managers earning commission, plus a marketing budget to go find clients like you.

Your AV Department is a channel of revenue for them without any of that overhead attached: no salaries, no marketing spend, just a single fee tied to a project that's already found.

That's a more efficient model of customer acquisition for them, which builds in room to be fair on charges rather than marking it up.

Plus, we encourage a direct relationship between all partners for the long-term. Who doesn't want that?
