What we hear

Problems we fix.

✕ I&D crew showing up undertrained for booth-by-booth schedule pressure
✕ Convention-center jurisdictional rules nobody warned the team about
✕ Booth AV crashing during keynote because nobody tested
✕ Exhibitor coordination breakdown — who installs which booth, when
✕ General session running 30 minutes long, killing the booth-floor schedule
✕ Freight-to-floor logistics jammed at the loading dock

Common questions

Before
the call.

Do you handle the I&D side or just AV?+

Both. Install/dismantle crews + booth AV + general session production are all available — separately or bundled.

Are you familiar with convention center work rules?+

Yes. McCormick (Local 2 + Teamsters 727), Orange County, Mandalay Bay (IATSE 720), Javits (IATSE One) — all routine. We pre-coordinate every show with the local.

Can you coordinate across many exhibitors?+

Yes — multi-exhibitor I&D coordination is a real strength. One floor manager, one schedule, one set of standards across every booth we touch.

Permanent AV?

Same client. Different scope.

If your venue or property runs trade show & convention production regularly, our AV installation team can spec, install, and support the permanent systems behind it.
