AV Importance in Events 2026
October 4, 2023
Get to know our AV team
Some events almost run themselves, while others need experienced teams at every stage. We can provide first-class expertise and support, whatever your needs. This is especially true when it comes to AV. Read on to learn more about our AV services and to meet our fantastic team!
What is AV?
Professional audio-visual services, or AV, are a key component for many events including Christmas parties, exhibitions, award ceremonies and conferences. The general term can generally be split into 3 areas:
- Sound can include a single lapel microphone for your keynote speaker, static mics for your panel to reduce interference, surround sound music speakers so everyone can dance the night away and a portable hearing loop so no one is left out.
- Lighting can include focusing the lights on the stage, adding dramatic lights to an exhibition to focus the eye and spectacular colours to set the mood for your event (orange is welcoming and warm, purple can be glamourous and white is more professional).
- Visuals can include presentations, projected logos and live streaming for hybrid events.
But don’t worry, although that seems like a lot to think about, our amazing, experienced team is here to help.
Why is AV important?
There are many benefits to using AV at your event including:
- Keep your audience stimulated, engaged and feel encouraged to participate (when appropriate!).
- Make any presentations easy to follow.
- Help to convey confusing or complicated messaging.
- Highlight the key focus and leave your audience with a positive lasting impression.
- Create an atmosphere that encapsulates your event theme.
- Ensure your event is accessible to people attending, anyone watching a live stream or for those who need a recorded copy of the stream.
What AV services are available at The Brewery?
Our end-to-end production service will create jaw-dropping results that make your event stand out from the crowd.
We partner with Encore to provide high-quality audio and visual design, and implementation, for any event; whether for a product launch, award dinner, conference or exhibition. Ensure all of our AV services are comprehensive and fully integrated with our other event services, we have a dedicated team on site.

Audio-visual
AV can be complicated, so we try to make the process as simple as we can. For events held in our smaller spaces, we offer a selection of audio-visual packages with everything you need to host a successful awards dinner, meeting or conference.
Plus, having an AV set up is pointless without skilled people to utilise them fully, so if you need a little help to get the most out of the equipment that you require, we have extremely talented personnel on site. Our team are extremely well-versed in the usage of any of the equipment on-site and can help acquire and manage any additional equipment you may require.
Hybrid events
Bringing virtual and live audiences together, hybrid events create a shared experience where everyone feels included and involved. Although they have been popular for many years, hybrid events grew even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the need for virtual events grew astronomically.
Advances in technology have also made hybrid events more popular, as well as more convenient, reliable, affordable and accessible. We work with Encore to offer a full range of hybrid event solutions that are tailored to your needs. Plus, we only use the best platforms, production and on-site technology to deliver enhanced experiences and increased engagement.
Branding
In collaboration with our event audio visual services, we offer a range of event design and branding services to ensure your event has consistent branding across online and offline channels for your event.
We can work with you to create and use specifically branded banners and print designs, as well as incorporate your company’s logo and signage across the various electronic signs we have around the venue. In addition, we can play whatever video content, audio recordings and music you choose to truly make an event your own.
