If you’ve ever planned a corporate event, you’ve probably heard the phrase “technical production.” But what does that really mean? Is it just AV equipment? Is it stage design? Is it logistics?
At AVT Productions, we like to say it’s all of the above — and more. Technical production is the invisible engine that makes high-stakes events run smoothly, blending creativity with precision.
Here’s a breakdown of what a technical production company actually does (and why it matters for your event).
1. We Design the Experience
Before gear shows up or cables get plugged in, we start with design. That means:
- Creating stage layouts and seating plans that maximize sightlines
- Designing LED walls, scenic elements, and lighting that align with brand identity
- Developing 3D renderings so clients can “see the room” before it’s built
This phase ensures every element supports your message and your audience’s experience.
2. We Engineer the Technology
Once the vision is set, we engineer the systems that bring it to life:
- LED walls, projectors, and video playback systems
- Audio systems tuned for crystal-clear speech and immersive music
- Lighting rigs that highlight presenters and enhance ambiance
- Streaming and broadcast integrations for hybrid or remote audiences
At AVT, we specialize in best-in-class tools like ROE LED walls, Brompton processing, Yamaha audio consoles and Meyer audio to ensure flawless performance.
3. We Manage the Logistics
Event production is as much about planning as it is about gear. We:
- Coordinate equipment shipping, and storage
- Manage venue requirements, labor calls, and union rules
- Provide insurance, permits, and compliance documentation
The goal: make sure every piece is in the right place, at the right time, ready to go.
4. We Run the Show
On event day, we’re behind the curtain making sure the program runs seamlessly. That means:
- Cueing video playback and walk-on music
- Managing mic handoffs and speaker transitions
- Operating lights, cameras, and audio mixing
- Troubleshooting in real time so issues never reach the client or audience
Our teams are calm under pressure, and our Run of Show checklists keep everything on track.
5. We Extend the Event Beyond the Room
Today’s events don’t end when the audience leaves the venue. We help clients:
- Record keynotes, panels, and breakouts for later use
- Stream sessions live to remote audiences
- Provide clean recordings for repurposed content, training, or on-demand playback This way, the impact of your event lasts long after the lights go down.
Why It Matters
Hiring a technical production company isn’t just about outsourcing AV. It’s about partnering with experts who can translate your event goals into an unforgettable experience. At AVT Productions, our role is to anticipate, design, and execute so you can focus on the content and connections.
