About us.
OAV exists to make live experiences feel effortless—so leaders can lead and audiences can stay fully engaged. Founded by Bill Gilbert in 2003, OAV grew from a part-time side hustle into a nationwide production partner built on strong relationships, trust, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Many of those early partnerships are still part of our story today.
Everything we do is rooted in a single purpose: to make events feel effortless, so clients can focus on leading while audiences are fully immersed in the moment. We exist to deliver more than audiovisual services—we craft experiences that elevate each detail, even the ones you don’t notice, because we don’t succeed unless you do. As we continue to anticipate needs, elevate details, and support every moment, we aim to shape experiences that set new standards for what live events can be.
The power to do it all. The people who make it personal.
