Association Conference & Trade Show AV Production

Orlando, FL

SCOPE OF PRODUCTION

American Audio Visual provided AV production support for the Florida Society of Association Executives, supporting a multi-day association event with a general session, breakout rooms, and trade show activity.

The production included general session AV, projection support, rigging coordination, breakout room systems, trade show AV support, and on-site technical coordination across multiple event spaces.

A key element of the event was a rigged mesh projection screen used during a featured presentation. When projected onto, the screen created a dimensional visual effect that allowed the presenter to move behind and within the projected content.

EVENT OVERVIEW

FSAE’s annual event brought together association professionals for general sessions, education, networking, and trade show engagement. AAV supported the event with a production plan designed to meet the needs of multiple spaces. The general session required a polished stage environment, reliable audio, video support, and coordination around the specialized mesh projection element.

Breakout rooms needed consistent AV support for educational sessions, while the trade show environment required production support that aligned with the larger event experience. Because the rigged mesh screen required changes between event days, the production plan needed to remain flexible while keeping the event flow organized and professional.

PRODUCTION CHALLENGES

Delivering this type of association conference AV production required careful coordination across multiple event spaces, including the general session, breakout rooms, and trade show environment.

1. Specialized Mesh Projection Screen

The general session featured a rigged mesh screen designed to create a dimensional projection effect. The team needed to coordinate screen placement, projection alignment, presenter movement, sightlines, and show flow so the visual moment felt intentional onstage.

2. Rigging Changes Between Event Days

The mesh screen setup required rigging adjustments between event days. Those changes needed to fit within the event schedule while maintaining a polished general session environment, reliable technical support, and a consistent attendee experience across the program.

3. Multi-Space Event Support

The event included a general session, breakout rooms, and trade show activity, each with different AV needs. The challenge was supporting every space clearly while keeping the overall event connected, organized, and aligned with FSAE’s conference experience.

PRODUCTION APPROACH

Our team executed a flexible production strategy focused on coordination, visual impact, and consistent support across the full event environment.

1. General Session Production

AAV supported the general session with audio, video, projection, staging coordination, and show-day technical support. The setup created a polished environment for speakers and attendees while allowing the mesh projection element to integrate smoothly into the program.

2. Rigging and Projection Coordination

The mesh screen required coordination between rigging, projection, room layout, and presentation goals. AAV helped support the planning and execution needed to make the visual effect work within the larger production plan without disrupting the event flow.

3. Breakout Room AV Support

AAV supported breakout rooms with reliable AV systems for education sessions and smaller group presentations. Each room was prepared to support presenters, content playback, clear audio, and attendee engagement while keeping the session experience consistent across spaces.

4. Trade Show AV Support

The trade show area required AV support that complemented the broader conference environment. AAV helped support the technical needs of the space while maintaining coordination across general session, breakout room, and attendee-facing areas throughout the event experience.

EVENT OUTCOMES

AAV delivered association conference AV production for FSAE across multiple event spaces, including general session production, breakout room AV, trade show support, and rigging coordination. The specialized mesh projection screen added a creative visual element to the event and required careful coordination between rigging, projection, and show flow. By supporting the full event environment, AAV helped create a cohesive production experience across the general session, breakout rooms, and trade show spaces.
