GL events Audiovisual & Power

What GL events Audiovisual & Power does

GL events Audiovisual & Power is a France-headquartered event technology services provider and a subsidiary of GL events Group, the global event services conglomerate. The company operates from Brignais (Lyon metropolitan area) and delivers end-to-end technical production for corporate, cultural, sports, institutional, and international events, combining three service lines: audiovisual rental (lighting and structures, sound, video, digital solutions, simultaneous interpretation), energy services (electrical production and distribution, heating, ventilation, air conditioning), and equipment sale and installation including a secondary used-equipment channel.

The offering is differentiated by a study bureau (bureau d'études) that designs custom solutions and by continuous fleet renewal with latest-generation equipment. A proprietary software product, Earcast — an audio streaming solution for events — was launched in November 2025, representing the company's first notable productized IP. The business serves marquee clients including the Paris 2024 Olympics, Festival de Cannes, FIFA Rugby World Cup 2023, COP conferences, the Council of Europe, Orange, CMA CGM, Veolia, Michelin, bioMérieux, and Dior, with delivery supported by multiple agency locations across France and internationally.

Commercial mechanics are quote-based and project-driven: clients engage through website quote requests and direct phone contact (+33 4 72 31 54 07), with pricing not publicly disclosed. Revenue derives from usage-based equipment rental, professional services for full event organization, one-time equipment sale and installation, and hardware resale through the used-equipment program. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, targeting event agencies, venues, and direct enterprise and government clients.
