The venue contract AV checklist — 8 things to confirm before you sign

For corporate and conference planners: a quick field guide to the audio-visual fine print in venue contracts — so in-house AV charges don’t blindside you, and you keep the freedom to choose who runs your event.

From Straight Street Event Services — AV production partner since 1997, six-time Consumer Choice Award winner for Waterloo Region, and a member of the Canadian Audio Visual Providers Association (CAVPA).

What You’ll Get:

  • The 8 points to confirm in writing before you sign — exclusivity, access times, internet, oversight fees, power, rigging, back-of-house rooms, and real capacity.
  • Where surprise AV charges hide, and the order to negotiate them in.
  • Two lines of ready-to-adapt RFP and contract language that protect your right to choose your own AV provider.
  • An “if you only do three things” shortcut for when you’re short on time.

We’ll email you the checklist and the occasional useful note for planners. No spam, and you can unsubscribe any time. See our Privacy Policy.

After you sign up, the checklist lands in your inbox within a few minutes.
