Up-to-the-minute technology is increasingly important to meeting and event planners, especially when it comes to on-site audio visual support. One of the benefits of a meeting at sea is that meeting space and standard AV is included on a cruise. But once in a while the complexities of a meeting demand more equipment than a cruise line or hotel can ordinarily provide. For these extraordinary events, you need a company to partner with your venue to provide out-of-the-ordinary equipment…like translation booths and headsets, media sound boxes, high resolution projection systems and teleprompters.

Seasite is pleased to recommend AVW TELAV. This innovative technology company, based in Montreal, has extensive experience providing supplemental AV support on cruise ships. In 2009, sister company Landry & Kling worked directly with the company in Trinidad during two prestigious global events: V-SOA (Fifth Summit of the Americas) and CHOGM (Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting).

During the Summit of the Americas, AVW TELAV provided simultaneous interpretation and audio visual for media feeds and coverage in 10 rooms in four languages. In addition, they outfitted the ships’ dining rooms and specialty restaurants – not normally used for meetings – with built-in AV, including large format presentation monitors. AVW TELAV once again provided critical AV and technical support for the CHOGM event on two cruise ships that were docked in Trinidad as “floating hotels” and meeting venues. The company supplemented the cruise lines’ existing equipment with additional conferencing systems in a variety of locations onboard both vessels.
