AKA Event Productions

What AKA Event Productions does

AKA Event Productions is a Denver-based, founder-owned LLC providing full-service live event production across audio, lighting, staging, and crew for corporate events, festivals, municipal and government productions, venue installations, and B2B equipment sub-rental. The company was founded by audio engineer Andrew Kirschman, who brings 13+ years of professional audio experience including prior roles as Head Engineer at the Strand Theatre in Shreveport and at Live Nation venues in the Denver metro. AKA owns and maintains touring-grade inventory — PK Sound line arrays operated from a Denver-based PK Sound rental house, Allen & Heath dLive consoles, Shure wireless, grandMA3 lighting control, Chauvet Professional fixtures, and Danley Sound Labs monitors — and serves an eight-state Rocky Mountain region (Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Oklahoma) as its core market.

The company's signature technology is the Audiosphere, a proprietary 360-degree immersive object-based surround sound system first deployed at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in April 2025 in partnership with d&b Audiotechnik, Brown Note Productions, and electronic artist Mersiv — North America's first-ever 360-degree immersive sound deployment at that venue. The Audiosphere has since been expanded into a national tour, extending AKA's reach beyond its regional base.

AKA operates a direct-sales go-to-market with phone, email, website quote forms, and free consultations; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through professional services for event production and through hardware-equivalent rental income from sub-renting owned touring-grade equipment to other production companies. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition history.
