Organise an event and support Redfern Youth Connect with Pay What You Like

Traditionally, January is a quieter time in the corporate arena when equipment is sitting in our warehouse having returned from events, so why not put it to good use?

AV1's Pay What You Like drive let's you choose how much you want to pay for AV equipment for your January events, and AV1 will donate 20% to Redfern Youth Connect.

So let's get this show on the road! Here are 11 ideas for events you can run in January.

1 Cultural festival

Celebrate diversity by hosting a cultural festival featuring various countries' music, food, and traditions. Use AV to showcase videos or live performances from different cultures on LED screens, with lighting and sound to match each theme.

2 [Your company name here] Olympics

Host an office Olympics with teams competing in fun challenges. Use AV services to display live scores, highlight key moments on big screens, and create an upbeat atmosphere with energising music and dynamic lighting during ceremonies. Breakdancing anyone?

3 Jazz & blues festival

Organise a relaxing jazz and blues festival with live performances. Enhance the mood with intimate lighting, smooth sound systems, and visuals on screens that set a cool, laid-back vibe.

4 Outdoor movie screening with surround sound

Go beyond the standard outdoor cinema with large LED screens, high-quality projectors, and surround sound systems for an elevated experience.

5 Product launch with multimedia presentation

Introduce new products using a dynamic multimedia presentation featuring video, sound, and live demonstrations supported by expert AV technicians.

6 Charity auction with live visuals

Host a charity auction with a live video feed and large projections to display auction items in detail. Include an AV system to ensure the auctioneer and guests can easily follow the action.

7 Corporate dance party with custom light shows

Throw a dance party with music, dynamic lighting, and LED screens that display company branding or fun visuals to keep the energy high throughout the night.

8 Interactive town hall meeting

Elevate a town hall meeting with AV elements like multiple screens for live updates, speaker close-ups, and audience engagement tools like real-time polls displayed on screens.

9 Pop-up outdoor market with soft lighting and music

Set up a pop-up market with AV services providing soft string lighting, ambient music, and a central projection that cycles through sponsors and featured vendors.

10 Team trivia night with visual scores

Organise a trivia night where teams’ scores are projected onto large screens and audio effects are used to punctuate correct answers or exciting moments.

11 Corporate talent show with concert-grade AV

Let employees showcase their talents with professional sound, lighting, and stage effects to give the event a polished, high-energy feel.
