Venue AV
The commission shows up in every kind of room.
Hotels, resorts, convention centers, casinos, conference centers — in-house AV pays the property a cut of your AV spend and adds its own margin on top. It just hides in a different line on every quote. Find your venue.
Hotels & ballrooms
Book a ballroom and you’ll usually be handed the hotel’s preferred AV provider. It’s convenient — and that convenience is priced in. The provider pays the hotel a commission on your AV bill, and still holds its own margin on top.

Conference centers love an all-in package — room, catering, and AV in one number. Convenient, but the AV line is usually marked up and not built for your specific show.
