As a member of the Executive team, I lead all customer and industry-facing areas of Client Relations, Sales, Marketing, and Industry Partnerships.

Joining WorldStage was like being selected to play on an all-star team. I worked with the most experienced and conscientious team in the industry who had available to them all the tools and resources necessary to provide clients with outstanding products and service…every time. We also funded a highly advanced R&D division that specializes in designing customized systems and solutions that were both cost-effective and innovative. Industry-leading Producers, Technical Directors, Designers, Artists, and Corporations brought their visions to life through the unique combination of technology and experience available only at WorldStage. Far and away the most diverse company in the entertainment technology field (not only in terms of the services we provide but also in the markets we serve), we provided Audio, Video and Lighting technologies worldwide to the corporate, artistic and theatrical communities requiring unique and imaginative technical solutions for the live event spectacle, large meeting presentation, and permanent installation needs. Our services were found at 80,000 attendee developer’s conference, a Fortune 500 product launch, a Tony-award winning Broadway musical, a wildly inventive media piece by a soon-to-be-famous artist or an extravagant benefit gala attended by stars of screen and stage. The common thread behind all of this diversity was a dedication to customer service and quality that is manifest in everything we did.

AV Concepts was founded in 1987 by two industry veterans, Fred Mandrick and Nick Smith, with the core belief that providing each client with exceptional service and superior value would produce highly satisfied clients and long-term relationships. No, it wasn’t rocket science. It was simple common sense combined with a passionate dedication for always being the best at what they did. The surprise wasn’t that this simple idea worked, but in how incredibly well it worked! AV Concepts grew to become a premier nationwide provider of audio, visual and creative solutions and a company that was consistently recognized as an industry leader in quality, service and innovation.
