What the Association Actually Does
From safety training to fair contracts, we handle the parts of this industry that are easier to fix together than alone.
Industry Standards
We publish safety and technical guidelines for equipment, rigging and live production, so nobody is guessing on site.
Skill Development
Workshops and certification for sound engineers, lighting designers and AV technicians, whether you're starting out or ten years in.
Business Networking
Regular meet-ups put rental companies, production houses, freelancers and vendors in the same room, so jobs and referrals move between members.
Policy & Advocacy
When licensing rules or safety codes are being decided, we make sure someone from this industry is at the table.
Member Support
A member directory, help resolving disputes, and someone to call when a job goes sideways.
Community Events
An annual expo and regional gatherings where members see new gear and catch up with people they usually only text.
