Corporate AV — Sunshine Coast resorts, venues and businesses

Nobody remembers the AV. That's the job.

Sound, wireless microphones, projection and lighting for conferences, awards nights and business functions — with an engineer on the desk for the whole event, and one invoice at the end.

What we run

Six kinds of event make up most of the corporate work on the Coast. Tell us which and we'll size it.

Conferences and seminars

Lectern and lapel microphones, a panel that can be heard, slides on a screen the back row can read, and laptop changeovers that take seconds.

Awards and gala dinners

Speeches that carry across a full ballroom, walk-up music that hits on cue, a live band or DJ after, and lighting that makes the room look the part.

Product launches and activations

A system that sounds good rather than just loud, video that runs without a hiccup, and a look designed with your brand rather than around it.

Town halls and all-staff days

Roving microphones for questions, a clean feed for the recording or stream, and the CEO heard without feedback.

Hybrid and streamed sessions

Room audio into your streaming platform, remote presenters back into the room, and a camera position that works.

Business functions and Christmas parties

Speeches, a slideshow, then a dance floor. Chambers of commerce, clubs, firms and franchises.

The venue's in-house system was built for background music and one microphone.

Resort function rooms are beautiful and their ceiling speakers are fine for dinner music. Ask them to carry a panel discussion, a live band or a stream to head office and they run out of road — usually at 6pm, in front of the client.

We bring our own system into the room, tuned to it, with an engineer who stays on the desk. The venue's team are happy to see us; it's one less thing that can go wrong on their night too.

Engineer on the deskFor the whole event, not set up and leave. Batteries swapped before they die, levels ridden, changeovers handled.
Backup on siteSpare microphones, a spare laptop, spare leads. A failure is a swap, not a crisis.
Insured and taggedPublic liability certificate for the venue on request; every lead tested and tagged.
One invoiceSound, screens, lighting and crew on one quote, GST inclusive, with set-up and pack-down priced in.

Where we work

Resort and hotel function rooms from Noosa to Caloundra, Coolum's conference venues, the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre precinct at Twin Waters, surf and golf clubs, council venues, and offices and warehouses when the event comes to the business.

We're based in Coolum and travel is built into the quote. For a venue we haven't worked, we do a site visit or talk to the events coordinator about power, load-in and the in-house system before we quote.

Questions event managers ask

Does the venue's in-house AV cover this?

Sometimes. In-house systems are built for background music and one microphone. For a panel, a band, a stream or a room over a hundred people, a dedicated engineer with their own kit is what stops the day going wrong. We work alongside the venue's team happily.

Are you insured?

Yes. Public liability cover with a certificate of currency for the venue on request, and test-and-tag on every lead.

Can you run a hybrid or streamed session?

Yes. Room audio into your platform, remote presenters back into the room, and a camera position that works.

Will there be someone on site the whole time?

Yes. An engineer stays on the desk for the duration rather than setting up and leaving.
