Planning a successful corporate event in Brisbane involves a lot of moving parts—but your audio-visual setup shouldn’t be one of them. Whether you're organizing a small boardroom seminar or a large-scale conference, choosing the right AV hire package is crucial for professional delivery, clear communication, and a memorable experience. In this guide, we’ll break down AV package options, show you how to customize setups, and even explore real-world event examples—all designed to help you choose the perfect solution from Sublime AV.
Understanding Corporate AV Needs
Event Type Breakdown (Conferences, Seminars, AGMs)
Each corporate event type has unique AV requirements:
Conferences usually span multiple sessions or breakout rooms, demanding multi-room AV coverage, live streaming, and audience engagement tools.
Seminars and workshops benefit from high-quality projection, reliable microphones, and real-time interaction capabilities.
AGMs (Annual General Meetings) often include multimedia presentations, voting systems, and need crystal-clear audio for remote and in-person participants.
Venue Size and Audience Considerations
The size and layout of your venue significantly influence your AV choices. A small venue might only require a basic mic and speaker setup, whereas a larger ballroom or exhibition hall calls for distributed audio, multiple screens, and possibly stage lighting. Keep in mind:
Under 50 attendees: Entry-level gear suffices.
50–150 attendees: Mid-tier setups ensure consistent quality.
Over 150 attendees: Premium packages are essential for full coverage.
Visual, Audio, and Presentation Requirements
Never underestimate the power of good visuals and clean audio. The right AV hire should cover:
Projection screens or LED displays
Wireless microphones
Audio reinforcement systems
Presentation remotes and timers
Interactive whiteboards or touchscreens (optional)
Sublime AV’s AV Packages are designed to align with all these requirements.

Customizing Your AV Setup
Every event is different—so why settle for cookie-cutter AV? Sublime AV offers full customization options for your corporate event.
Add-On Services (Drapery, Uplighting, Staging)
Want to elevate your event’s atmosphere? Consider:
Drapery for visual backdrop or stage elegance
Uplighting to match brand colours or themes
Staging for keynote speakers or award presentations
These add-ons enhance ambiance and professionalism.
On-site Technical Support
AV gear is only as good as the support behind it. On-site techs help:
Monitor sound levels
Switch presentation inputs smoothly
Troubleshoot last-minute issues
This is especially critical for high-stakes corporate launches or AGMs.
Hybrid Event Enhancements (Zoom/Teams Integration)
With hybrid events becoming the norm, Sublime AV can integrate:
Zoom or Microsoft Teams into your AV workflow
Dedicated camera feeds for virtual participants
Seamless audio from in-room and online attendees
These solutions ensure no participant feels left out—whether they’re in Brisbane or abroad.
Comparing Costs and Value
Rental Inclusions vs Individual Equipment Hire
Package rentals almost always outperform piece-by-piece hires in value. With a package:
You get bundled pricing
Technical setup is included
There's guaranteed compatibility between components
Standalone hires might seem cheaper but often lack integration, quality, or support.
Cost Efficiency Based on Event Type
Let’s say you're hosting a quarterly seminar. The mid-tier package offers the best value: reliable, quality sound and visual support with minimal overhead. However, a once-a-year conference or hybrid AGM might warrant a premium setup due to higher stakes and expectations.
