Yes, everything! We have strategic relationships with over 120+ AV and technology companies, which allows us to do it all for you. (Really, you don’t have to do anything!) We’re the experts, and we take care of it all for you.

Consulting

Need our expertise but not our services? We are trusted and experienced AV experts, and when your team needs AV help, we’ll educate, inform and guide them to a successful production. You have your expertise and we have ours – so you keep doing what you do best and let us help you shine.

Training / Speaking

As the authority in AV we provide training workshops and seminars exclusive to the Meeting Planning industry. We’ll help you and your staff become “AV Experts” in half-day and/or full-day sessions. We also offer high-energy, high-return and interactive speeches at corporate events and conferences nationwide. With our transparent approach, we reveal the up-to-date secrets and trends to understanding and working in the AV world.

Event Productions

We understand the value of providing an impactful experience for your attendees, and we provide the tools for you to make that happen. Our team creates the “Wow Effect” for you, especially when your event is themed or highly customized. We help you “wow” them with custom event apps, digital signage, touch screen monitors, audience response systems, powerful stage design and so much more, based entirely on your needs.

Our Approach

Our approach is simple: everything we do is to make the AV and Virtual Event experience enjoyable and impactful. We know AV and Virtual Events and know them very well. We offer that experience directly to you as a member of your team.

Giving Your Time Back

AV is time consuming, but you have an ENTIRE event to plan and produce. We take that 15% of required time for AV and Virtual Events and give it back to you. We’re the experts so you don’t have to be; you take that extra time do what you do best, and we’ll handle the rest.

Long-term Relationships

O’Design is about the long-term, trusting relationships we have with you. The foundation of our success lies within the client relationships we have enjoyed over the years, and our future success lies with the relationships we look forward to forming with you. We are able to provide unmatched services and results because we get to know you and genuinely want you to shine! We look forward to working with you again and again and building a long-lasting partnership.

Helping You Be More Marketable

As your “internal AV and Virtual Event department”, we work by your side with your clients to create the best event possible. This helps you expand your market positioning: your current clients will appreciate the additional help and expertise of a dedicated AV team, ensuring future business for you. And potential clients will gravitate towards this unique diversity in your support staff and company offerings.

Detailed Experts

We understand the critical importance of tending to every detail. We provide timely information and services, and study every event venue and schedule so we know exactly what is needed. You will be amazed and relieved that you have a partner that takes care of every detail for you!

Accountability & Affordability
