There is a critical need of overall responsibility for audio-visuals before, during and after any congress or event and the independent AV Consultant is best prepared to take on such a role in AV intensive projects with specialized skills that save money for the project whilst maintaining the maximum return. Seamless integration of multiple AV suppliers, multimedia suppliers and the venue make for a more successful project. Do you speak fluent "Geek"?

1. HOW TO SAVE ON YOUR AV BUDGET
BUT NOT ON ITS VALUE ?
There is a critical need of overall responsibility for audio-visuals before, during and after any congress or
event and it may be possible that all these skills may be had simply by managing these tasks in-house or
to let the audio visual company do these necessary jobs. While in some cases these assumptions may be
possible, the AV Consultant is better prepared to take on such a role in AV intensive projects.
The answer to your question of why you would need to hire in these specialised skills is the need
to save money for the project whilst maintaining the maximum return.
Today’s integrated AV and multi-media systems are complex and to assume that a single AV company
will have the depth of specialised knowledge and experience to be fully aware of the many dynamics in
the integrated design is not reasonable. Therefore, the presence of the consultant’s
segment of the AV Industry is well warranted and should be considered in your planning.
As a concise definition MiceMedia BV works with your project team in the development of the Audio
Visual technical solutions from the beginning of the project. We will provide some or all of ythe
requirements for AV needed for your project, create budgets, system designs, bid documents, drawings,
equipment specifications and on-site management for your project. To clarify this a bit, in many cases
project managers are provided by the AV company. So for communication with the AV company there will
be a step in between using the independent consultant of MiceMedia as the link.
The value that the hired audio visual and multimedia tools bring to your congress or meeting is
safeguarded by the independence of MiceMedia. We work directly for you and report directly to you. The
Independence brings the ability to the table to be free of profit margin driven selection of equipment for
your project. MiceMedia is free to choose the best equipment for your needs rather than be driven by the
sales of the most profitable product that might be less appropriate for the project.
Value is even enhanced since MiceMedia brings a level of experience and expertise to the project that is
difficult to match. Independence is key in MiceMedia since it gives us the opportunity and means to watch
over the project with a clear eye to inspect workmanship and quality as the project is being
commissioned and the progress reporting is to you, the owner and not the AV company. In other words, it
is not the Fox watching the hen house, thus avoiding the conflicts of interest that may occur using the
project manager only for the entire process.
Also it allows for seamless integration of multiple suppliers and the venue. Our consultants speak the
“geek” language and can give your suppliers exactly the information that they need.
MiceMedia has all the abilities to prepare the Request for Proposal to source the equipment needed, do
supplier analysis, create the conceptual 3D drawings, do the AV planning and infrastructure design, and
putting together the documents necessary for flawless execution of your project. MiceMedia can be
contracted to fully manage the project and to work with the AV company (or combination of suppliers)
and the venue in successfully completing your project whilst saving you money time and resources.

2. With a wide variety of technical know-how, MiceMedia has the resources and industry contacts to
complete location analysis, identify electrical needs, and assess the mechanical and structural issues as
needed to support the installation of AV equipment.
MiceMedia takes on a responsibility for your project when hired for the management of the job that
relieves you from the ongoing project meetings and time needed to see through the audio visual needs of
your project. MiceMedia maintains an open line of communication with the AV company/suppliers and act
as an extension of your organisation so that any issues or miscommunications may be quickly remedied
keeping the job moving forward.
That is how we save you money, time and energy.
Resources that you can better spend at the profit of your clients and staff!
