Our purpose

We started Stagedge—formerly massAV—over 45 years ago with the goal of bringing an audience-focused approach to events. Now, leveraging industry-leading technology and techniques, our purpose remains the same: to help you meaningfully engage your audience. Whether your attendees are onsite or on their laptops, our production ensures every audience member feels like part of the action.

Creating a superb audience experience starts with a strong client relationship. From our first discovery call until the post-event analytics delivery, our team’s proven process helps clients feel included and empowered. Throughout every step of our messaging, content, staging, and technology creation, we work in tandem with our clients to develop and execute an immersive brand experience.
