On August 28, CEAVCO Audio Visual provided audiovisual production support for the 8^th Annual Denver Broncos Kickoff Luncheon presented by U.S. Bank and Arrow Electronics. The annual event was held the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse, located at the UCHealth Training Center.

This extraordinary fundraiser brought in nearly $250,000 for Denver Broncos Charities. As a partner of the Denver Broncos, CEAVCO is proud to have played a part in this important event.

Allie Engelken, Executive Director, Community Development, of the Denver Broncos Football Club, thanked CEAVCO for the company’s coordination and assistance with the luncheon. “The event was a tremendous success,” she wrote, “and the show couldn’t have gone on without you – literally! Your team on set up and event days were fantastic – John [Safarik] went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I thank you for your partnership in helping us raise money to support community programs and initiatives throughout the season!”

The Colorado Oil & Gas Association (COGA) needed to find a new audiovisual partner. CEAVCO Audio Visual first supported COGA at their Mardi Gras celebration at Mile High Stadium. That event went extremely well, and so COGA hired us for their annual conference held at the Colorado Convention Center.

After the show, members of the COGA team shared the following feedback:

• “200% better than last year’s provider.”
• “It took me a second to figure out that I didn’t need to babysit your team. That allowed me to focus on other parts of my event.”
• “Your team is awesome. They are really on it!”

During the event, CEAVCO’s team, including Nicholas Williams, Michael Worcester, Paul Trotch, and Eric Newkirk, handled all of the video and audio details, freeing up COGA to focus on other priorities and bringing their team peace of mind. Most importantly, we delivered an excellent show.

AssuredPartners is one of the fastest growing insurance brokers in the U.S., exceeding more than $1 billion in revenue since their founding in 2011. They hold an important leadership meeting each year, and they recently chose CEAVCO Audio Visual to improve the audio visual production quality, reliability, and execution of their annual gathering.

In the past, AssuredPartners’ marketing and events team had to tightly supervise event sequencing and oversee audio visual services to ensure their venue-provided audio visual team didn’t miss any cues or diverge from the event plan. When CEAVCO started working with AssuredPartners, we began detailed preplanning and asked clarifying questions about needs, expectations, show flow, and ways to streamline the production process. Our goal was to reduce AssuredPartners’ oversight needs, free up their staff to focus on other tasks, and bring their entire team peace of mind.

According to the senior event planner at AssuredPartners, “Executives said this was the best event yet with regard to technical and flow! Yay!!! Thank you for making me look good!”

AssuredPartners sought a more strategic solution to their audio visual production needs, and they took a measured risk in choosing a new audio visual production partner to support their high-profile event. CEAVCO delivered.

CEAVCO Audio Visual Project Managers Brett Kolesarek and Emily Sendelbach recently attended Vectorworks training. This investment in our employees adds two new users to the extensive base of Computer Aided Design (CAD) capabilities already at the company.

CAD software is providing great value to CEAVCO’s clients, enabling our team to make recommendations on how an event space can or should be used, as well as helping our team identify important space layout and design challenges and solutions in the event pre-planning stages. Our team and our clients benefit by being able to visualize stage layout, seating sections, video and audio placement, lighting design, and hoist and cable network design.

Vectorworks’ flexible and collaborative design capabilities are regularly used by event production professionals who design room and stage layouts at both large conference centers and sophisticated smaller venues. This versatile, on-premise application provides extensive 2D drafting, 3D modeling, building information modeling (BIM), and rendering capabilities.

A decade ago, audiovisual production companies differentiated themselves by their gear. In this CEAVCO Audio Visual spotlight, CEAVCO President Matt Emerson explains that today anybody can get the gear, so what really matters are the people on your team. Meeting planners want to know that their audiovisual production partner will bring new ideas and cover all the details so their shows go off without a hitch. They expect their partner to bring them peace of mind and deliver an exceptional experience — every time.

Once again this year, CEAVCO Audio Visual was a sponsor of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting. CEAVCO also handled audio, video, lighting, and staging for the event. The annual luncheon is a forum for networking, exchanging ideas, providing member education, and sharing an overview of plans and opportunities for the upcoming year. The 1,000 attendees from 317 organizations included business owners and community leaders throughout the Denver Metro area.

The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce is a leading voice for Colorado’s business community. Chamber events have lots of moving parts and many stakeholders, and the Chamber regularly turns to CEAVCO as a trusted partner, relying on our team to choose the video, audio, and lighting technology that best meets their needs. Each year, the Chamber’s annual meeting is entertaining, engaging, and educational because the entire team works together to strategize and implement innovative ideas with the goal of crafting yet another memorable event experience.

In this short video clip, CEAVCO Production Technician John Safarik describes how above-and-beyond service and the audiovisual production experience of CEAVCO’s team form an unbeatable combination that differentiates us from the competition.
