What AVS does

AVS Audio Visual Services is a privately held, women-owned (WBENC-certified) audiovisual rental and event production company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. The company rents professional-grade audio, video, and lighting equipment and delivers full-service event production — including pre-production planning, on-site technical support, show calling, and multi-venue coordination — to corporate events, trade shows and expos, conferences and seminars, award shows and galas, concerts and live performances, higher education events, and non-profit/community gatherings.

Its equipment inventory spans rider-ready d&b audiotechnik V8/V12/Y-series line arrays and B22 subs, Yamaha PM5/DM7/CL/QL digital consoles, Shure Axient wireless systems, INFiLED DB 2.6mm indoor LED walls, Barco UDM-4K22 and 12K-20K laser projectors, Barco E2 Gen 2 and Analog Way Aquilon RS4 video processors, Ayrton Rivale / GLP Fusion Exo Wash / Martin MAC Viper / Clay Paky B-EYE K20 / ROBE Robin Pointe lighting fixtures, and Riedel Artist / Bolero plus Clear-Com Arcadia communication systems. Touring engineers and corporate producers work directly with AVS in-house technicians on these systems.

AVS generates revenue through quote-based, project-by-project equipment rentals bundled with event production services. It pursues enterprise and corporate buyers through a direct field sales motion operating from five physical offices — Gardena, CA; Orlando, FL; and three Hawaii locations (Kailua Kona, Wailuku, Kapolei) — while delivering events nationwide across more than 20 U.S. states. The company is led by Heather Bailey (President and Owner) and targets Fortune 500 companies, communication agencies, associations, government agencies, and non-profits, with named enterprise references including Prudential.

Direct peers

• Encore Global (formerly PSAV): The largest U.S. provider of audiovisual and event-technology services to hotels, venues, and corporate event planners. Directly comparable to AVS in core AV rental plus on-site production services for corporate meetings, conferences, and galas — the same primary segments AVS serves.
• Freeman: Global event-experience company with major trade show, exposition, and corporate-event AV production capabilities. Directly competes with AVS in trade show AV, expo booth production, and large-scale general-session staging.
• PRG (Production Resource Group): World-leading provider of entertainment and event technology, including audio, video, lighting, and rigging. Closely comparable to AVS in touring-grade gear inventories (concert audio, LED walls, premium lighting) and live event production services.
• AVT Event Technologies: Mid-size national AV and event production company serving corporate meetings, trade shows, and live events with equipment rental and on-site technical crews — closely overlapping AVS's mix of services, customer types, and scale.
• Visual Sound: Mid-Atlantic AV rental and event production firm offering audio, video, and lighting rentals plus full show services to corporate, association, and higher-education clients — a close functional peer to AVS in vertical mix.
• Onstage Systems: U.S. event production and rental company providing audio, video, lighting, and staging for corporate events and live performances. Comparable equipment-touring-grade positioning and customer mix to AVS.
• McCann Systems: Design-build AV integration and event rental firm serving corporate, education, and broadcast customers. Comparable to AVS in the rental-plus-event-services model, particularly in LED walls and video production.

Broad incumbents

• PRG Gear (Ver Asset): Equipment-rental arm of PRG offering dry-rent of audio, lighting, and video gear to production companies. Comparable to AVS in equipment-rental revenue stream, though at much larger scale and without bundled services.
