Behind every unforgettable event is an AV setup that just works - seamlessly, strategically, and without surprises. But if you’ve ever felt blindsided by unexpected AV charges or overwhelmed by AV tech jargon, this session is for you.

Join Richard Sinclair, Owner of SINC AV, 14-year partner of the Admin Awards, and the secret behind our show production success, alongside Ben Nunan, COO (and Technical Director) of the Admin Awards, for a candid, behind-the-curtain look at what it really takes to deliver a flawless event on budget and with impact.

You’ll learn:

• The three levels of event complexity (and what AV elements each one actually requires)
• How to avoid common AV “gotchas” that can blow your budget
• When and how to negotiate AV contracts (before you're locked in)
• Creative ways to elevate your event without elevating your costs
• The difference between working with in-house AV teams vs. external partners - and when a hybrid approach makes the most sense

Whether you’re producing a high-impact executive retreat or planning your company’s next town hall, this session will help you feel confident, equipped, and in control.

Bonus: Attendees will receive a practical AV Planning Checklist, created by SINC AV, to help you get started with any event, big or small.
