When you’re planning a meeting or event, your AV setup isn’t just a technical detail—it’s the backbone of your attendees’ experience. A single glitch in sound, video, or connectivity can overshadow even the most carefully curated content. Yet, many planners are handed outdated inventories or vague assurances that the “AV is fine,” without knowing how to truly verify that claim.

Whether you’re working with an in-house provider, a third-party AV company, or the venue’s own gear, being able to ask the right questions helps you avoid last-minute surprises—and protect your reputation. Here’s a checklist of smart, non-technical questions you can ask to evaluate if the AV setup is really ready for showtime.
