General Session AV Production
Full-service AV production for general sessions, keynotes, and main-stage events. Audio, video, lighting, and technical direction from Astro Audio Visual.
About Our General Session AV Production
The general session is the flagship moment of your conference — the stage where your CEO addresses thousands, where keynote speakers inspire, where award winners are celebrated, and where your organization's message reaches its broadest audience. Astro Audio Visual's General Session AV Production service integrates audio, video, lighting, staging, and technical direction into a single cohesive production that delivers the polish and impact of a broadcast television show.
We begin in pre-production with a comprehensive technical plan that addresses every element of the main stage — speaker support, presentation management, IMAG camera coverage, stage lighting design, scenic video displays, and show control. Our technical director serves as the central point of coordination, translating your creative vision into a detailed run-of-show document that every technician follows. During the event, the TD calls cues over intercom, ensuring that lighting transitions, video switches, audio adjustments, and graphic overlays happen in perfect synchronization.
Our general session packages scale from mid-size hotel ballroom setups serving 300 attendees to arena-scale productions for 10,000+. Every package includes a dedicated crew of specialists — FOH audio engineer, lighting designer, video director, camera operators, graphics operator, stage manager, and A2/V2 support technicians. We also manage presenter rehearsals, content formatting, and show-flow timing to ensure your program runs on schedule. Astro Audio Visual's general session production transforms your main stage into the event's defining experience.
