“Building Owners and Managers Association of Greater Tampa Bay (BOMA GTB) hired O’Design to handle all our AV needs for a 350 person conference.  Their communication before, during and after the conference was consistent and thorough.  The attention to detail and staying in touch was paramount to the success of the event.  There were many components, including a promo video, large monitors in the trade-show area with looping slides, many PPT, and audio. They exceeded all our expectations and the staff was wonderful to work with.  The owner, Stephen O’Connor was on-site with other staff to assure that everything was set-up to our liking.  I would certainly use and recommend O’Design to any conference planner.”

“O’Design did a great job; we would definitely look to use your services again for our next conference. Meeting the entire O’Design team was a great thing and gave us more comfort.”

“O’Design is an amazing resource, helping us from start to finish for all of our AV needs. They care about our event as much as we do and it shows in their detail oriented approach, helping to make sure our event runs smoothly!”

“O’Design’s AV presentation was very informative and eye opening. As a Meeting Planner, I know AV can be one of the most expensive aspects of an event especially when dealing with labor pricing. O’Design’s presentation gave helpful tips and items to look out for when dealing with AV pricing. It also gave an update on the state of AV and pricing since the pandemic. Would attend another seminar with O’Design again!”

“O’Design far surpassed my expectations from the very beginning. Having their support throughout the planning process AND on-site at our event was a total game changer. Their team was flexible, supportive and incredibly thorough; All important qualities when working in the event industry. We will definitely be working with O’Design again.”

“[My client] is so pleased with O’Design! I am absolutely thrilled to be working with you and seeing how you’re making my client feel so secure and under budget. Looking forward to our next agreement!”

“O’Design was just who we needed to make our event run smoothly. With their attention to detail, flexibility, and support, our hybrid event was better than we had hoped for.“

“Wow! O’Design really peeled back the curtain and shared so many tangible tips that every planner and supplier should know… This is information everyone in the meeting professional world should know!”

“Appreciate all that you and your team did to help my client with a quick-turn program.  It was great to know my client was in your capable hands”

“The O’Design team’s RFP process ensured that all potential audio/visual vendors could meet our exact needs and helped us to confidently choose a cost-effective provider. O’Design’s management of our event was incredibly thorough, and communication with the O’Design team was consistent and clear. The vendor we ultimately chose, based on O’Design’s work, was outstanding. I only wish we knew about O’Design sooner!”

“Working with O’Design, our event was great! Our post-event survey results have been super positive and our attendees were impressed with the enhanced AV experience. Our event was much more professional than years past and the equipment we had onsite was great for our specific event needs. O’Design was great on the fly and adjusted to last-minute changes with ease.”

“O’Design has helped tremendously in improving my clients Production & AV needs by lower liabilities/risk and ensuring bottom line cost come in at or under budget. They add value to my full meetings solutions and help further support my client’s needs.”

“They specialize in analyzing your audio visual and staging costs for general sessions and keynotes. Think of them as working on your behalf to get the best deal. If you are in need of a makeover of your av and want to reduce costs for your clients or your Company, please call Stephen.”

“O’Design was great at resolving issues on the backend if they arose. We had fantastic attendance and involvement thanks to O’Design’s help!”

“Stephen is one of the first vendors I met when starting my new role and his technical expertise and professional, enthusiastic demeanor quickly made me know he was someone I wanted to work with. Stephen has years of experience in the AV world and is willing to share his insights and experience with others, making him a true partner in the event planning and logistics world. I would (and have) highly recommend working with Stephen to any Event Planner looking for someone to help with the technical, and often, overwhelming aspects of AV equipment decision making, contract review and negotiation and day of management of just one more piece in the event planning puzzle.”

“The O’Design team exemplifies extreme competence in the audio visual field and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with them. Stephen, Aimee and Brett are incredibly knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful and professional and working with them made my life as a planner much easier. They guided me through the entire process of AV needs and staging and also went out of their way to go above and beyond to ensure an amazing event. I hope to never have to plan a large event without the assistance of O’Design.”

“Their upfront consulting services are at no cost to your budget and they can save you a ton of time, effort and money. They saved my client over $100K!”

“O’Design has changed my approach to meeting planning and especially to onsite management. I thought audio visual was an area that had me perpetually trapped; I thought I had no choice but to use the in-house company and to pay whatever fees and follow whatever guidelines they provided. The team at O’Design acts as my personal liaisons and translators between the venue and AV companies, and the assigned event producer becomes my capable, point person onsite. It takes away the stress of the unpredictable and keeps me from having to run from room to room to deal with AV issues.”

“From the very first demo meeting with O’Design and my client it was nothing but an amazing experience. We would definitely use O’Design again!”

“We were very happy with the retail forum itself; the content was fantastic and the set up looked clear. It was a big success and we loved working with O’Design; the attention to detail, follow up, and thinking things through were appreciated!”

“Stephen, you and your team are amazing! Thank you for your excellent work from start to finish. Your handling of the entirety of AV with our clients – obtaining all of the specs you need, negotiating, your creativity, and then flawless execution is such a breath of fresh air… Super A+ work, thank you!!”

“It was nice to have O’Design to take care AV and not have to worry about it as the venue presented many other challenges for me. I’m really impressed with their professionalism and confident in AV!”

“Our main room looked amazing and the setup was beautiful! The team was great with making adjustments for our virtual presenters/attendees. O’Design’s provided graphics and video looked fantastic on-site!”

“My team and our clients learned so much from these sessions, and the O’Design team answered each and every question that was asked. It is can’t miss education!”

“We were extremely happy with how our event turned out. O’Design helped us tremendously! Our on-site team was great to work with, communicated clearly, and dealt with minor event hiccups quickly.”

“We’ve used O’Design twice now and both times O’Design has made AV a breeze! They are extremely helpful, on top of it, and had everything we needed. O’Design handled last-minute changes with ease and their on-site crew was super adaptable… We can’t tell you how excited we are to continue working with O’Design for our future events!”

“O’Design took away the stress of sourcing and coordinating AV while saving me a lot of money! As a one-person team, I have so many things to coordinate for an event. I love being able to hand over the AV process to them, knowing they will think of all the finer details. Even when I had gaps in my event requirements, they were so accommodating in working through them. O’Design’s communication and follow-up are very organized as well!”

“From start to finish, O’Design made the process of our first virtual conference easy!  There is no detail too small that they did not think of, they were always available to answer our questions, and helped us successfully navigate this new world.  Their on-site support was stellar, ensuring all conference attendees had a positive conference experience.  We received numerous compliments and feedback from attendees, too! We could not be happier with our experience; we will use them again for future virtual events.”

“I needed a strong tech team to partner with for my first virtual event.  O’Design took the lead and guided me through the whole process with less than a month to plan the event.  My assigned team was always accessible and answered my copious questions quickly and clearly.  They also were accommodating to meet the needs of my international speakers by holding multiple rehearsals.”

“The La-Z-Boy team enjoyed working with O’Design for our Retail Leadership Summit. The O’Design team was professional, approachable, and responsive. They worked as a well-oiled machine to ensure all our AV needs were met. Overall, everything was great and the event was a success. The O’Design team will be our first call the next time we have any AV needs.”

“I am so glad that I was introduced to O’Design.  The team was super helpful, responsive, and most importantly helped relieve much of the stress and anxiety I was feeling around putting on our first hybrid event.  The team took the time to explain everything to me in a way that makes sense and helped me to get the best team and price that they could find. I would not have made it through the week without their onsite project manager, Corey.  I definitely plan to work with O’Design in the future even if my event needs change.”

“Our event went very smoothly; the on-site team was extremely helpful adjusting to shifting presentation timelines. We very much look forward to working with O’Design again for 2023!”

“O’Design’s on-site team ensured we were taken care of. We had no issues with audiovisual from pre-conference setup through the end of our conference. Their complimentary scenic was very appreciated and looked good!”

“I am so glad that I have continued my partnership with O’Design. I truly believe that O’Design has had the best interests of my company in mind from the very beginning with contract negotiations, to the very end with onsite coordination. I know that O’Design went to bat for us to get us the best possible rates and discounts in our contract, and I appreciate the communication and thought that went into the planning process for our event. After a couple years of partnering with O’Design during the event dates, I am not sure how I managed to do it without them. Having an extremely competent and thoughtful onsite team to coordinate with our A/V providers, handle any small issues that may arise, work directly with my speakers and moderators, and oversee the A/V aspects of my event completely, has become essential to our success as a meeting. I see them as an extension of my team and look forward to continuing to partner with them in the future.”

“O’Design is extremely knowledgeable in their trade and have provided extremely informative and beneficial information when working through AV.”

“O’Design successfully and seamlessly executed our AV project in an unusually short period, staying in contact with us every step of the way and troubleshooting until the very last minute.  When one of our speakers didn’t arrive in time, the on-site AV team quickly converted his presentation from in-person to virtual with no hesitation or issues.  Our entire team has been very happy with O’Design, and we will be using them for our next big events.

“Our attendees loved the switch from in-person to virtual this year! Thank you O’Design for your help making it happen.”

“Working with O’design was a great experience from start to finish and made my life easier as an event planner. I gave them my vision and they exceeded my expectations while saving us money!”

“This is our second year with O’Design. Each year has been spectacular and I cannot imagine doing a convention without them. The onsite AV team was amazing.”

“I was introduced to O’Design during our conference planning process as I wasn’t aware that hotels allowed outside AV firms to provide this service for conferences. O’Design competitively bid our AV services to four (4) vendors allowing us to find the best vendor at a competitive price and they oversaw the AV scope of services from start to finish. This was one of the best decisions we made for our conference and one that I would recommend to anyone seeking to save time, money and resources of volunteer planning committee members. Their service was EXCELLENT and I would hire them again in a heartbeat!”

“As a non-profit with a small staff we were nervous going into our first hybrid conference, but O’Design was there every step of the way. As an extension of our team they negotiated the best possible contract, enabled seamless interaction between all vendors, sent an amazing project manager to assist onsite, and flawlessly handled any problems that we encountered along the way. I wouldn’t want to do another event without them! I truly feel O’Design is an essential part of my team now.”

“I was incredibly pleased with O’Design on the first event, and the second one went even smoother!”

“Love the stage design by O’Design! It was the first time we’re doing it, but the LED podium really raise the bar for the event!”

“I have worked with Stephen O’Connor and his experienced and knowledgeable team for a couple of years now. It’s critically important to me that the partners I choose to align with and introduce to my clients emulate the level of professionalism, experience, and service our organization strives to provide. The O’Design team has been an outstanding asset and partner. They add tremendous value to my clients’ event planning process through their knowledge, expertise, and negotiation strength when it comes to all things AV. My clients feel more protected with a partner like O’Design in their court.”

“I’m so impressed with O’Design! They were extremely buttoned up and organized.”

“My head is still spinning a bit but I am so appreciative of the education I received yesterday; of the time you took with Gianna and I, and of how wonderful and gracious all of you are. I see success written all over O’Design.”

“I wanted to thank you all for an extremely successful event! There were no glitches at all and everything ran like clockwork.”

“I thought everything went great; the O’Design team was very professional. I didn’t see any hiccups or problems of any kind and each interaction I had with the team was excellent! The team felt very experienced.”

“O’Design provided organized and exceptional service for our audio visual needs. It was one aspect of our conference that we didn’t have to worry about.”

“Working with O’Design’s team was fantastic. The whole process from sourcing to production was efficient, professional — and friendly! We were grateful for their expertise in so many areas, and I look forward to working with them again.”

“Everything was taken care of perfectly, and I’m already scheduling my next year’s event to O’Design again!”

“O’Design was fabulous to work with and my client appreciated all the experience they brought in navigating their Hybrid AV needs. My client is not huge, but they still provided the support and attention for a successful event. It was not always easy at times with my client trying to understand AV options. O’Design was very patient and continued with professionalism to the very end. My client will continue to use O’Design for their Annual Conference AV needs knowing O’Design will provide the best AV options at the best price.”

“You are now working with two of my clients – they both have nothing but great things to say about working with O’Design!”

“The team was fantastic and very accommodating; they showed up on time and were very responsive to active feedback. I can’t think of anything I would have had O’Design do differently.”

“I had a wonderful experience with O’Design! I was able to turn around my in-person conference to virtual in less than 7 weeks with their help, and all the attendees raved about the virtual conference.”

“Sponsors were pleased with Ad placements and opportunities throughout the entire virtual event!”

“Working with the O’Design team to manage our A/V needs for our national convention proved to be one of the best business decision we have made. Their preparation beforehand and on-site team helped make the event run seamlessly and NSAA to deliver a first class conference for our members.”

“We loved working with O’Design on the NCADV Conference in St Louis. Their team on the ground was top notch, and the custom stage design they created for us truly WOW’d our attendees!”

“O’Design has expert consultants who provide insight into audio visual best practices, supply the best pricing for AV equipment, and make the experience memorable. Bring your next general session ALIVE with O’Design!!”

“It feels so good to be working with you guys again!”

“The O’Design team was stellar to work with; any minor hiccups were immediately corrected by on-site support. We had great communication with O’Design and the on-site team. Hats off to O’Design, they were fantastic!”

“Working with O’Design took so much more off my plate than I could have imagined! Not only did our event look more professional than we had expected but the team was early, on time, and extremely flexible, not to mention professional. All bumps were dealt with quickly and easily with record responses, it really felt like one big team. Planning went smoothly and helped us set expectations and deal with unforeseen issues (like a flood two weeks before our event!) without panic. Our attendees were blown away and I cannot imagine creating our event without them in the future.”

“The Event Team is extremely attentive to detail, organized and works very hard on gaining strong relationships and forming partnerships. They are friendly, loyal and respond in a timely manner. I have loved working with O’Design over the years.”

“Our team always loves working with O’Design; their meetings and process work perfectly. Everyone was pleased and everything looked great for our event! We couldn’t have asked for things to be easier – it was just fabulous!”
