Video West

What Video West does

Video West was a Phoenix-based audiovisual production company founded in 1982 that provided video, audio, and lighting equipment along with full-service live event production to corporate, hospitality, and entertainment clients. Its core offering spanned professional services (event production, staging, scenic design, projection mapping, lighting, and audio engineering) and hardware rentals (AV equipment including audio systems, lighting rigs, LED walls, digital signage, touchscreen displays, and projection mapping systems). The company served as a preferred in-house AV provider for hotels, resorts, and convention centers, with named relationships including Sheraton, Marriott, Hilton properties, and Oregon Convention Center. Pricing was quote-based and tailored to event scope, with multi-year preferred-provider contracts at the venue level.

In March 2025, Video West was acquired by ON Services, a national AV and live event production platform, and was fully rebranded to ON Services effective January 1, 2026. The combined ON Services entity operates 70 locations across 17 states with warehouses in 9 major cities, employs 340+ live event professionals, holds $50M in AV assets, and executes 9,500+ events annually. The combined platform added concert touring capabilities, AV Alliance global network membership for international event delivery, and a virtual/hybrid event Studio product. Jack Waitkus served as President of Video West through the transition, while Brent Milner serves as CEO of ON Services.

The business model combines professional services revenue from event production (audio, lighting, creative, scenic design) with hardware rental revenue from AV equipment. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting corporate clients for meetings, conferences, trade shows, and concert touring, supplemented by preferred-venue partnerships with hotels and convention centers that provide recurring baseline demand. Customer segments span corporate events, conferences and trade shows, concert touring, hotels and resorts, convention centers, and event agencies. Following the ON Services acquisition, the former Video West operations now operate within a national-scale consolidator with global delivery capability through the AV Alliance partnership.
