Frequently Asked Questions

What AV is needed for a graduation ceremony?

A successful graduation requires highly intelligible PA sound systems tailored to the space (indoor or outdoor), multiple wireless microphones for speakers, large-format LED screens or projectors for visibility, and often a multi-camera live stream for families who cannot attend in person.

Can you support outdoor campus events?

Yes. We specialize in outdoor event production. We provide weather-resistant audio setups, outdoor-rated LED screen trailers that are visible in direct sunlight, and safe, stabilized staging for campus quads and athletic fields.

Do you provide live streaming for commencements?

Absolutely. We offer professional live streaming services, ensuring remote family members and alumni can watch ceremonies in high definition with pristine audio. We can stream directly to your university's website or preferred social platforms.

How early should university events be planned?

For large-scale events like commencements or major campus conferences, we recommend reaching out 6 to 12 months in advance to secure the best equipment and allow ample time for logistical planning with campus facilities.
