Pick Crescent Event Productions for staging and LED walls, Meeting Tomorrow or Encore Global for national programs, Audio Visual Nation for technician crews and All Pro Audio Visual for rentals.

Key takeaways

• Only one lists Charlotte as headquarters: Heard Global, with a warehouse in Matthews, 20 minutes from Uptown.
• Production vs crews vs rentals: these are three different jobs. Match the company to the job before you compare prices.
• Prices: none of the six publishes rates, so ask each for a written quote with labor, load-in and strike.
• Independent reviews are thin: only Audio Visual Nation has a third-party review page we could cite, and it has few reviews.
• Book the room first: many Charlotte hotels and the Convention Center have in-house AV, so see our corporate event venues in Charlotte before you hire outside.

Side-by-side comparison

Which company for which event

How to choose

• Ask for a site visit. Walk the room with the AV lead before you sign.
• Get labor, load-in and strike in writing. Equipment is only part of the bill.
• Ask what the venue already provides. Hotels and the Convention Center often have in-house AV with rules about outside vendors.
• Ask for a backup plan for audio, projection and streaming.
• Ask for a reference from a corporate event of your size.

Want a Charlotte planner to line up AV for you?
