What Global Audio Visual does

Global Audio Visual is a private, for-profit audio-visual event production company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hyattsville, Maryland. The firm provides full-service event production covering audio, video, lighting, and IT components for B2B conferences, corporate meetings, product launches, shareholder meetings, trade shows, concerts, webinars, expos, weddings, and other private celebrations. It operates across 13+ US cities (including Washington DC, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Richmond) using a network of warehouses and regional offices that enable next-day equipment delivery and on-site technical crews. The leadership team includes CFO Stephen Hinds; the broader staff of IT, audio, video, computer, and lighting specialists is led by producers with a combined 30+ years of industry experience.

The company's core technology is its owned inventory of AV equipment — projectors, LED walls, sound systems, microphones, lighting rigs, and displays — supplemented by hybrid event capabilities (live streaming, immersive VR, and interactive audience engagement tools). Products and services are organized around four pillars: Full Event Production, Full Event Planning, IT Solutions, and Equipment Rental, with stage design/draping and live event production as add-on offerings. Equipment is described as daily quality-tested, and the company provides 24-hour on-site or remote support.

Global Audio Visual's revenue model is professional services plus equipment rental, priced through custom quotes (no public pricing). Customers are acquired via a website-based Request For Proposal system, toll-free and local phone lines, and direct outreach, with a sales-led motion targeting both B2B enterprises (conferences, meetings) and SMB/private clients (weddings, small productions). The customer base is horizontal and fragmented across corporate events, private celebrations, and entertainment/public events, with public feedback limited to 13 Google reviews naming small production firms and individual event organizers. The firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no public financial reporting.
