We show up to shore you up

You don't need to know AV.
You need someone who does.

Planning a technology project can become overwhelming quickly. Equipment choices, contractor proposals, infrastructure requirements, budgets and technical terminology make it hard to know whether you're making the right decision.

SHOW UP translates the technology into decisions you can understand.

Before you buy equipment.
Before you sign a contract.
Before installation begins.
Or after something went wrong.

We can step in.

25+ years behind the technology

Now on your side of the table.

SHOW UP Consulting brings decades of real-world experience in AV, broadcast, production, integration and technology into one simple mission: helping clients make better technology decisions before, during and after installation.

"The installer builds the system. We help make sure they're building the right system for you."

— What do we actually need?
— What should this cost?
— What should be reused?
— How do we compare proposals?
— Is it being installed correctly?
— Does our staff know how to run it?

Plan it. Design it. Build it. Learn it. Show up.

From 'we need something' to 'we're ready.'

The difference shows.

Equipment added over years, no documentation, nobody sure what does what.

Neatly cabled, documented equipment racks being reviewed — With SHOW UP
Organized systems, clear documentation and people who know how to run them.
