AUDIOVISUAL PRO TIPS

What's your top tip for clients?

"From a planning perspective, collaboration between you and your vendors is key. These partnerships will ensure your event is something special and unique. My tip is to create a space where everyone feels secure and can share talents and ideas. Whether we meet in-person or online, talking openly and regularly is essential in shaping the vision of your event. Be open to new ideas and unexpected twists. Trust that your vendors know their stuff and can improvise when they need to. Don't hesitate to discuss your budget and to focus on what matters most during your event. Together, that’s how we create an amazing and memorable event."

– Devin Z. Eaton (he/they), Technical Events Planner

Spotlight: Hope-Raiser

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and SW Washington's largest event of the year was actually four simultaneous events! Supporters could join the virtual celebration online or in community gatherings in Portland, Bend, and Springfield.

We were honored to help produce the virtual Hope-Raiser in our new video suite and also provide audiovisual production services at the Portland event with DC Auctions.

The combined events raised more than $1.2 million for RMHC families.
