In preparation for this week’s HITEC in Indianapolis, AVaStar has published a free resource to help hotels and event venues better understand where their AV operations may be falling short and how to improve them.
“Why AV Operations Are Overlooked” is now available and is designed to help attendees of HITEC Indianapolis better prepare for shopping the show. This downloadable guide helps venue teams identify the operational blind spots that arise when no formal AV management system is in place, including questions about equipment purpose, maintenance, cost tracking and staff responsibilities that often go unanswered, according to the company.
AVaStar is an AV operations platform designed specifically for hotels, conference centers and event venues. It is designed to help properties manage inventory, track costs, train staff and support AV across all departments.
“Many venues assume that having the AV equipment installed means they’re ready,” Eric Bracht, managing director at AVaStar, said in a statement. “But without clear operational oversight, hotels risk lost revenue, inefficiencies and guest dissatisfaction. This guide introduces what’s missing and why it matters.”
The free guide explores common questions staff face without an AV operations plan and the risks and hidden costs of unmanaged or outsourced AV services. In addition, the guide addresses how in-house AV, when properly managed, can rival room revenue; why traditional tools like spreadsheets and sticky notes fall short; and the advantages of implementing a centralized AV operations system, according to the company.
