CVW Event Productions

What CVW Event Productions does

CVW Event Productions is a full-service audio-visual production company headquartered in Northern Virginia (Chantilly), serving corporate, government, non-profit, education, and arts/entertainment clients across the United States for over 40 years since its founding in 1981. The company delivers eight integrated production service lines: visual displays, video production/broadcast, lighting production, audio production, staging and decor, virtual events/webcasting, editing/ENG, and broader event services. Underlying capability rests on a small full-time production team with 43 combined years of professional experience and proprietary deployment of broadcast, lighting, audio, and staging technology; no proprietary software platform or technology IP is disclosed.

CVW operates a B2B professional services model with direct, sales-led client engagement and contact-based quoting — pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated per-project through on-site event production and, increasingly, virtual event delivery. The company is privately held and wholly owned by President Matthew Eidemiller, who took full ownership in late 2021. It has no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no parent entity. Headcount is in the 11–50 range and the leadership team comprises Eidemiller, EVP of Operations Nicole Wong, Managing Director Samantha Wolbert, and VP of Event Design Kyle Wolfe (joined July 2023).

The customer base is anchored in the DC/National Capital region and includes named engagements with Georgetown University, the National Democratic Institute, Atlantic Council, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the National Museum of Asian Art, and Axios After Dark presented by Live Nation. The company has received 26 AEGIS Awards and multiple Telly Awards, and worked 26 unique venues in 2023. Geographic reach extends nationwide on a project basis, though there is no permanent office footprint outside Northern Virginia.
