What Image Audiovisuals does

Image Audiovisuals (operating as Image AV) is a Denver, Colorado-based full-service event technology company founded in 1988 by Dave Mueller, who continues to serve as President & Founder. The company provides audiovisual production services for live, hybrid, and virtual events, serving primarily professional associations and nonprofit organizations, with secondary engagement of large enterprise and government clients including Marriott International, Charles Schwab, Northrop Grumman, Aflac, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Operations are anchored by the company's 11–50 person headquarters at 2130 S Dahlia St, Denver, CO 80222, supplemented by on-site production partnerships at the Colorado Convention Center (15+ years), Gaylord Rockies Resort, and Breckenridge/Summit County, with nationwide service delivery via traveling crews across more than 15 U.S. cities.

The company's service portfolio spans Live Event AV Production, Hybrid Event Support, Stage & Set Design, Recording & Streaming, Multimedia Content Creation, and AV Installation & Tech Integration. Two proprietary platforms underpin its virtual/hybrid offering: eAttend (eAttend Global), a cloud-based virtual event platform featuring customizable virtual rooms (Lobby, Expo Hall, Breakout Rooms), attendee engagement tools (Live Q&A, polling, chat, hand-raising), analytics, and exhibitor portals; and the Presentation Management Portal, a speaker content-management tool for slides, handouts, and pre-recorded video with admin approval workflows. The company also holds exclusive distribution rights to a modular scenic backdrop system with nine panel styles, used in stage design. Pricing is custom quote-based per event, with free initial consultations; no standard pricing tiers or subscription plans are publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts.

In April 2024, Image Audiovisuals received an equity investment from Tonka Bay Equity Partners, a lower-middle-market private equity firm, to fund a national expansion strategy into the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest regional markets. The company maintains a content-driven marketing approach centered on blog content, event portfolio galleries, testimonials, and local SEO (e.g., 'Audio Visual Companies Near Denver'), combined with direct enterprise field sales and venue-based preferred-vendor distribution. The customer base is diversified across more than a dozen named associations, corporations, and government entities, though no revenue concentration data is disclosed.
