Conference audiovisual. What does this usually bring to mind? Large screens? LCD projectors? Speakers? Wireless mics? You know, the usual!

But what if the Conference Organizer says, “Hey, part of this conference is going to be outside and we’d like a personalized gobo shining on the side of a tiki hut while our attendees participate in Olympic type games! Can you do that?”

What does AV Connections say? We say, “Of course we can!” And when the weather doesn’t cooperate, we find a way to work with our client to take that very same gobo and move it inside a pavilion and aim it at the large fireplace where it looks just as fabulous!

This April, InDeal held their 2018 Champions Conference at the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina. And while the weather might not have cooperated, completely, the conference was in Charleston, so the scenery was always gorgeous!

And AV Connections was there to make sure they had everything they needed to make their conference run as smoothly as possible when it came to their audiovisual needs. From the JBL Powered Speakers, Shure Wireless Mics, Yamaha and Mackie Mixers in Sunrise Terrace, Atlantic Ballroom, Indigo Grille Room and Commodore Room, to the Leko/Source 4 Specialty Lighting Fixtures moved into the pavilion, to the standing podium, 7'x 12' Fast Fold HD Format Screen, more wireless mics and Sony VPL-FH60 5k projector set in the Yacht Club for the daily sessions, AV Connections had it covered! And we brought the experienced technicians along to make our client received the turn-key service they deserved!

AV Connections was pleased to provide AV at Francis Marion Hotel Charleston recently for the Sociedad Interamericana conference of continental translators. The Francis Marion is located on Charleston’s picturesque Marion Square Park at the corner of King and Calhoun Streets in downtown Charleston. A great landmark of the Holy City, this hotel is visible from West Ashley and Mount Pleasant as it was one of the only semi-high rise structures ever allowed to be built in Charleston. After that, in order to preserve our historic city, a four-story maximum was imposed on the historic district. For this reason, the hotel commands an unparalleled view of Charleston and the water like none other.

In the tradition of the grand hotels of the early 20th century, the Francis Marion is a stunning and magnificent hotel full of beautiful ballrooms and meeting rooms; glamorous and timeless. Many conference planners choose this location because it is both a charming place to attend a gathering and because guests can enjoy all Charleston has to offer in restaurants and stores literally outside the front door of the building.

AV Connections is always pleased to quote a price and services suggested for meetings and conferences at the Francis Marion. While we are not the in-house audiovisual rental supplier, we serve clients there who shop their events on the open audiovisual rentals market in Charleston. Often, even with the surcharge applied our price is significantly less than those of the in-house provider. We encourage you to be in touch with us, information is free. Email us for audiovisual rentals and conference technology at the Francis Marion Hotel at avrentals@avconnectionssc.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
