AV specialists are the best! AV is soooo confusing, I would suggest as an event planner to shop around and ask for examples and maybe videos of their previous work so that you know what you are getting and you trust that this AV team can do what is needed. This aspect can be the make or break of the entire event and many AV companies can run pretty expensive so make your connections and do your homework.
Wow! I needed that training! Will is so upbeat and funny! I recently left the corporate event planning world where I was working for a billion-dollar company with lots of resources. Not always, but sometimes, The meeting budget didn't matter to upper management and executives as, they just wanted new and innovative stage elements. I now own an event planning business - sort of by accident - and AV is one thing that really scares me. It is hard going from a company that has it's own marketing department, Accounting departments, etc. at your disposal and then going off on your own starting a business with limited funds...in a new state!! Thanks so much for helping educate us newbies!
You're right Meredith, Will is amazing, so talented and we love having him on the show! Congratulations on starting your own business. With your experience, we have no doubt that you'll rock it. Thanks for joining us at eventplanningblueprint.com
Yes you can. www.google.ca/search?q=hdmi+to+vga&rlz=1C1CHBD_enCA771CA771&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiu29HZ_9faAhVRyYMKHTQTBzQQ_AUICigB&biw=1467&bih=794
It's semantics, but those are all powered devices. They take a power feed from the HDMI source and operate as signal converters. There's an analog to digital conversation taking place. It's not a passive connector conversion where you simply adapt to a different connector but the signal remains unaffected.
Will... I'm the owner of my company and that's exactly what I remind people working with AV (ninja) guys... treat them well, feed them and don't forget that they are human and they're running your event. Well said. PLus ... the in-house take too much advantage of the system, in Toronto area it's a disaster.
"They love to socialize..." We have Clear-Coms, so we 'socialize' with each other throughout the event. (Thank god those conversations aren't recorded).

Thanks a lot for this information, it's a great video! Quick question, what is he talking about at 33:50 min when he talks about taking time on the "quotes"? thanks! :)
Try www.avixa.org/ . They control the certifications and offer printed, online, and live training. Also search the AVIXA site for the AVIXA InfoComm show. It is held annually in the US and I believe they hold international shows as well.

Good advice. I would add never forget planning power requirements up front. The power required and where it's required is never a sure thing.
Farmercl's Woodshop excellent reminder!

how is your business going so far?
12:15 Actually there are HDMI to VGA adapters. Not sure what he meant saying they dont exist. Other that that great advice.
Agreed. I work with them all the time. What doesn't exist is VGA to HMDI, correct? Maybe that's what he meant...?
Even vga to hdmi exists
No, you cannot convert between HDMI and VGA with a passive adapter. You need an active (powered) signal converter.

He's talking about building a relationship with your A/V team and taking care of them during the event i.e.: supplying meals, etc
Where can I find the A/V planning checklist he was talking about?
+Justin Caudill thanks for watching the video. You can find the checklist here: bit.ly/27nJOvc
