Small Conference AV Cost: Save Thousands on Your Next Event

What does AV for a small conference cost? What our $1,500 package covers versus traditional AV hire.

Small Conference AV Cost: Our $1,500 Package Explained

Our $1,500 Meeting Audio-Visual package costs less than traditional AV hire, mostly because the equipment and the technician are both included.

What Coastal AV Supplies for $1,500.00

For 50 to 80 people:

  • Audio: LD Systems ICOA12A speakers, a Soundcraft Si Compact mixer, two Shure SLX-D handheld mics and two Sony lapel mics

  • Video and presentation: two Logitech PTZ Pro 2 cameras, a Roland VR-4HD vision mixer, two 40″ monitors, a Panasonic projector and a 120″ screen

  • Support: delivery, collection, setup and tuning, and a technician on site for eight hours

Small Conference AV Cost with Traditional AV Companies

Traditional providers usually charge for equipment and technicians separately, so the total climbs quickly.

Typical Traditional AV Costs (Sydney and Central Coast)

  • Equipment-only packages (projector, screen and audio) from around $600 a day, without streaming, cameras or a technician

  • A technician at around $500 a day, on top

  • Streaming and multi-camera work at roughly $200 to $400 per person for 50 to 150 delegates

  • Fully streamed hybrid events at $8,000 to $30,000

  • Extras like electrical work and cable management on the final bill

The Cost Benefit of Coastal AV's Package

  • No separate technician fee

  • Streaming gear included, which often costs $1,500 to $5,000 or more elsewhere

  • Premium brands: Shure, Sony and Roland

  • Delivery, setup and collection at no extra charge
