Conferences & Annual Meetings
Keep every room, speaker, and screen on the agenda.
Conference AV built around presenter flow, audience sightlines, breakout coverage, remote access, and the schedule your team has to keep.
Plan the production around the program.
Conference production is less about one dramatic moment and more about consistency across a full agenda. Presenters need simple laptop handoffs, panelists need reliable microphones, attendees need readable content, and breakout rooms need enough support to stay useful. We build the AV plan around those transitions and dependencies.
For multi-room programs, we separate what must be standardized from what can be right-sized. The general session may need multiple screens, cameras, lighting, and a dedicated show team, while a breakout may need a compact sound and display package. Shared planning keeps those rooms connected without overbuilding each one.

Risks worth planning for
What can go wrong when the systems are planned separately.
Presenter handoffs stall the schedule
Changing laptops, adapters, slide formats, and remote callers can turn a short transition into a visible delay.
Panels sound inconsistent
Too few microphones, poor placement, or unmanaged levels make questions and discussion difficult to follow.
Slides disappear from the back
Screen size, brightness, and sightlines have to be planned from the farthest seat, not the front row.
Breakouts are undersupported
A strong general session does not help when smaller rooms lack the right connections, audio, or technician coverage.
Remote attendees get a lesser event
A useful livestream needs dedicated program audio, readable slides, intentional camera angles, and active monitoring.
