AV & Other Media Delivery Shouldn’t Be Stressful. Delivered by IAVVI’s 30 Years of Experience it Isn’t. You can Look Amazing & Enjoy the Experience Too.

Mission Critical Media applies to the context of its use. For example take 2 types of events. One is a Fundraiser Gala and the other is a Medical Education Radiologists Meeting. In the Fund Raiser you will see Sponsor Loops, Auction Prize Slides, and Names. In the other Radiologists you have an audience of brilliant people who are the guys that look at your Image MRI's say, and write a report to your doctor interpreting what he or she sees. The Gala owner wants his or her content to look good, like the chair covers. The CME Radiologist owner wants the highest resolution and gray scale that is possible within his or her budget, they want the slides bright so the room lights can stay on, and we would insist on Laser projectors and so would they. The Radiologists AV is Mission Critical, the Gala's AV is important but not Data Centric. This is often a problem with some AV Companies, One Size Fits All. NO it does not. The Gala owner has a tighter AV Budget, the Radiologist owner does not care about Chair Covers. In general we love Science and Software events because they expect High Resolution in their Imagery. But we can do and have done great Charity Galas. Here is where hiring a Technical Director as a Consultant, will help you get you the right AV at the Right Price.

This is a classic pricing question. To begin with if you signed a Venue Contract locking the In House AV Company, you are probably paying a 50+% surcharge that is basically a Kick-uP to the Hotel. They provide no more extra value, but that is to be expected from the same people that sell you a Dr. Pepper for $8.00. But even if you use a company like ours where we are obsessed with High Value Offerings, you may still pay a premium not because we are trying to take your britches, but because the venue will resell the meeting rooms up to 3 times a day, which means that to get you ready for a 7am rehearsal, we have to throw in extra manpower, particularly if their is a wedding reception with an open bar going until after 1 am. In this case you made a quality play, but it would be better to negotiate set-up time for the room when you sign your contract, as in for example your favorite AV or Multimedia Company can access the room at 6PM the day before, when that group already in there, complete their Plenary Session.Companies will ask us to go on Site Visits,  incident to a consulting for Live Event contract, where we guide usually can get ahead of worthless markups which easily pays or hourly rates for looking out for your all important, Mission Critical AV or Multimedia. You will feel that everyone in your group knows, that you were always in control.

We know that "Value" means different things to different organizations. If you are a Non-Profit paying for things with Memberships dues, Value to you, is very similar to price. However if you are a business that has a budget born of experience, buying AV & Multimedia, your view of Value is things like Pre-Production Planning, Competent, Enthusiastic Technical Staff, and a team of people that will sweat the details, so you don't have to. For you, value means you get to enjoy your event like everyone else does.
