We have recently purchased 90” Sharp LED screens to add to our full inventory of Sharp Flat Screen Monitors.
These screens are perfect when projection is not feasible and you want a stunning screen that will capture people’s attention. These screens are so big, bright, and clear that it is hard not to stare at them. The actual screen dimensions are 81” x 47 ¾” and support full 1920×1080 resolution.

avs will reach a significant milestone in our national expansion on June 1st with the opening of our Calgary office. Until now we have served our National and Alberta based customers from our Vancouver and Toronto offices. The addition of the new Calgary office enables us to serve Edmonton and Calgary as well as Banff, Lake Louise, and Kananaskis from our central location in Calgary. We have worked extensively in all of these locations so we are intimately familiar with venues throughout Alberta. Our gallery features photos from shows that we have executed at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, and the resorts in Kananaskis.

We are very proud to unveil avstrategies completely revamped website. As our company has seen significant growth over the past two years our website has lagged behind. Just in the last 18 months we have moved from our office on West 8th to our new 15,000 square foot warehouse at 1295 Napier in Vancouver, we have opened our new office in Toronto serving our clients in the GTA and Ottawa areas, and we are in the planning stage of our next expansion into Alberta with an office in Calgary. We have also invested heavily in our inventory and added an entire lighting department. These investments position us to provide full end-to-end service in a one-stop supplier with national coverage.
Our new website is now reflective of our current organization and provides visitors with insight into our in-house inventory of projections & displays, video equipment, lighting, audio and our drape & accessories. It also demonstrates some of the value added service we provide by creating custom CAD room drawings, renders, production management, and multimedia creation. One of the most exciting aspects of our site is the ability for clients to easily upload and download show content in a user friendly secure environment. Ask one of our associates to provide you with your personal login and we will set you up with your unique client folder.
Stay tuned for more news from avstrategies in the coming months as we unveil our Calgary warehouse and other significant announcements. Please take the time to explore our new site and like us on Facebook.
