Professional AV Services in Washington, DC

Every year, the capital welcomes thousands of leaders from across the country and around the globe for major events. Catalyst is a leading AV company in Washington, DC, supporting conferences, government events, association meetings, and galas with flawless design and precision.

Our teams have the experience and skill to navigate DC’s unique event landscape, producing events in federal buildings, think-tank venues, convention centers, and hotel ballrooms. We stand out among other audio-visual companies in Washington, DC, because our AV services are truly comprehensive. We’re your one-stop-shop for staging, lighting, audio, video, and livestreaming.

Why Choose Catalyst Companies for Your DC Event?

  1. Expertise Across Washington’s Top Venues: You need an AV provider who knows DC in and out. Our teams are used to working in iconic venues like the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the Reagan Building, Smithsonian buildings, and famous hotels. We’re well-versed in the unique legal, logistical, security, and load-in requirements in Washington, and we know how to navigate them smoothly.
  2. End-to-End AV Support for Every Production: We provide full-service event production solutions. You shouldn’t have to hire multiple AV vendors for a single event. With Catalyst, everything is handled. From pre-production, to onsite management, to run-of-show execution, and even post-event support, you can rely on us for professionalism and precision.
  3. Advanced Technology for High-Stakes Environments: Too many AV companies in Washington, DC, are really just glorified equipment rental shops. They don’t provide the full catalogue of AV solutions, and they don’t have the knowledge required to operate and maintain their tech properly. Catalyst is different. We own, care for, and transport all our equipment—plus, we’ll manage it for you throughout the event process. Choose from stunning LED walls, dynamic lighting setups, 4K video systems, broadcasting equipment, and streaming technology for polished, mission-critical presentations.

In a world with a million different AV suppliers The Catalyst Companies stands above the rest. Any event planner's greatest risk is the unknown. And oftentimes you don't know what you don't know! TCC removes the unknown by offering their expertise and full project management services. Where others may offer the same old stale AV setups either due to lack of creativity or capability, TCC offers innovation and excitement to your event.

There are not enough great words to say about The Catalyst Companies. To name a few, they are the most professional, talented and detail-oriented production companies I have worked with so far in my events career. Sam Wehrmeyer is an expert in his field and it shows across the entire business. I have worked with them on a number of events with SafetyCulture in the US and further and we wouldn't use anyone else for our event production! Sam and the team truly go above and beyond for their clients and are 100% committed to putting on the best produced events out there. You are able to put your full trust in them knowing that they will deliver every single time.
