Encompass Event Group

What Encompass Event Group does

Encompass Event Group, Inc. is a privately held, Colorado-incorporated live event production company founded in December 2001 (originally as Live-Online Television) and rebranded to its current name in 2018. Headquartered in Aurora, Colorado with an 11-50 employee headcount, the company delivers end-to-end technical design and deployment for live events and entertainment, spanning video/projection/LED, audio, lighting, rigging, staging, labor, logistics, and technical documentation, plus equipment rental to staging companies. Operations are anchored by a structured six-step production process (Discovery, Development, Planning, Project Execution, Review, Thank You), rider-friendly equipment inventory meeting professional specifications, a dedicated Encompass Training Center with Ross Video-certified operator training, and THE CUBE — a purpose-built broadcast studio enabling AWS-based virtual and hybrid event production with remote presenter kits. The 2018 acquisition of ACA Productions' audio, lighting, and rigging assets extended the company beyond its original video-centric heritage into full-scope technical production, while twenty-five years of organic growth have produced a portfolio spanning corporate events, national conventions, touring productions, broadcast facilities, political events, and professional sports entertainment.

The company's revenue model is project-based, custom-scoped B2B enterprise services with multi-year contract cadence, supplemented by equipment rental and THE CUBE studio services; pricing is quote-based with no standardized public pricing, and all engagements originate through a direct enterprise field sales motion using Calendly-scheduled discovery calls with company principals. Customer segments are segmented horizontally across event agencies and producers, technical directors, corporate clients, associations and nonprofits, sports and entertainment organizations, and virtual/hybrid event producers — with named enterprise customers including Unbridled Productions, Van Wagner, Peak Creative, OPUS, Audio Visual Management Group, BCD Meetings and Events, the US Air Force Academy, and the Denver Cutthroats Hockey Club. Go-to-market relies on content marketing (blog, newsletter), organic social (Facebook, LinkedIn), mid-funnel facility tours of the Aurora headquarters, and bottom-funnel testimonial-driven relationship building, with no retail, self-service, or indirect channels documented. Marketing channels and customer testimonials frequently emphasize predictability, prepared crews, and 'peace of mind' as the primary functional value delivered versus pure technical specifications.
