AVP helps customers reach their audiences through creative use of event production technology.

Advanced Visual Production (AVP) provides sound, lighting, and video to special events, concerts, sporting events, corporate meetings, and other productions. We specialize in the creative application of multimedia, transforming plain rooms and creating high-impact presentations. Our services are rounded out with our production studio offering audio recording for bands and voice, video editing, graphics, and animation.
Testing 5.1 surround sound decoding for an upcoming project. This one is a projection package with surround sound for a movie premiere, but thr same could be used for any kind of movie party, or layered in to events for into videos and executive walk-ins.
This week is a big week, marking the largest audio deployment in AVP history. Three ballrooms, more than 10 meeting rooms, a 240,000 square foot exhibit hall, and thousands of feet of corridors and lobbies. It's taken every speaker in our inventory, plus some major assist from our best friends at who have rolled in with 70+ Martin cabinets. We're even leaning on and Appomattox Audio Works for more gear and expertise.
And that's just the audio!
We've also got two stage lighting rigs (with gear from ), have supplied gear and expertise to our partners at , and have enjoyed meeting some new friends from other vendors on the project.
And that's the reason we are so dedicated to our B2B relationships. The production community in Richmond are our friends, partners, vendors, and customers. We will always support them and their success enthusiastically so that we may count on them to do do the same, as they have today.
More details to follow on this fun build, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the great work and support today.

From Virginia to California and back again, the AVP team has traveled the country this week producing events big and small. Hundreds of in-person guests, dozens of pre-produced content snippets, and even a website or two: AVP helps our customers reach their audiences in person, online, and coast to coast.
That is our mission, and it feels good to be good at it.
Four little ducks*, all in a row. As we travel home from a quick project in San Francisco, it's nice to see our travel gear coming along with us.
See you soon, !
*Ducks, in this case, being the 1510, the most-carried case by professional technicians the world-around.
Good early morning!
We are in Williamsburg providing from and from , working alongside our good friends from ! Encore is one of the largest AV companies in the world - the merger of PSAV and Encore of old - with a huge footprint as the in-house provider for hundreds (thousands?) of hotels and conference centers.
We take very seriously the responsibility of serving our B2B partners. Our industry can be quite competitive in the planning and bidding process, but once contracts are signed the show comes first, and we want to make sure every project with every partner goes as perfectly as possible.
This crew is from all over the country, and we're glad to be on board. Thanks, Encore!
More gear:
- Ascender switching
- VRX rig
Some days, our work seems not so serious, and not so important. We might ask ourselves what positive contributions we are making to the world. What does the average stagehand or technician or designer ever get remembered for? Is this - flashy lights and loud music - really much of a calling? What are we - to quote our parents - really doing with our lives?
We can write about the joys our audiences experience at a concert or the fun and excitement we layer on to what might otherwise be a run-of-the-mill conference. And that stuff is important. It truly is.
But then there's this: AVP-produced events raise millions of dollars every year for incredibly important causes. We are so grateful for our partnership with Mosaic Catering & Events in having us on board for these projects, and with customers like ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation for trusting us to help them convey their mission to their audience. That's *our* mission, and we take incredible pride in that work. We are backstage, behind the scenes, pushing the buttons that connect people.
It's serious. It's important. It truly is.
But that doesn't mean we can't have a lot of fun doing it.

A quick little jaunt down to Orlando, producing a sales leadership conference with LED backdrop, lighting, audio, and a bit of set design.
This party under the Big Top celebrated the designation of Richmond's Massey Cancer Center as a Comprehensive Care Center, an achievement which recignizes their dedicated service to their patients, research accomplishments, and community-centered approach.
This project - planned by our good friends at - came together at record speed, with AVP providing sound, lighting, video, and run-of-show management for a customer deserving of top-level service.
It was a pleasure working alongside and and many more, from aerialists to photographers to scenic fabricators and furniture rental!

And some rental assists from and Commonwealth Audio Visual.
A few days with our friends at producing the annual summit. As always, was a gracious host venue. It's always fun getting to work these corporate events that have a little more flavor than your average conference.
Shout out to keynote speakers and , engaging speakers who brought unique perspectives - those of a Shark and of a Gold Medalist - to the profession of real estate.

Tent galas look a little different when it's a Losberger De Boer Deutschland structural tent from Commonwealth Event Company! With the ability to fly lighting, sound, and video rigs over the centrally-located stage, this event - designed and managed by Mosaic Catering & Events - looked and sounded great.
Congratulations, class of 2022!
In 2022, AVP has unveiled a carbon offset program to mitigate the outsized greenhouse gas emissions of our industry. In our work, we use lots and lots of electricity, set up in venues with huge HVAC loads, transport gear in lots of trucks, and host hundreds of guests who all must be transported to and from the event.
In purchasing carbon offsets, our customers who participate in this voluntary program reduce the impact of their events through reforestation, green energy investments, and carbon recapture technology.
Congratulations to Collegiate School, HOME of Virginia, and the Democratic Party of Virginia in helping us to launch this program!
Just a little fundraising gala tonight.
Loving our new video upgrades. Black Magic 6K Camera with 11-16mm lens on a Ronin-S with Hive Hornet lights - makes us very happy campers. Perfect for brand videos and broadcast livestreams.
