About Us

Founded in 1999 as “Geeks and Gurus,” our events team now works under the Conference Geeks brand. Despite the change in name we offer the same customer oriented service as always!

We’ve always provided high quality A/V expertise and use our experience to deliver a high level of customer service at all of our events. It is not just the time that we’ve been around that is impressive, though. Rather, our diverse background in the audio-visual industry is an important source of strength for our team.

We have worked as a sole A/V provider, as well as in partnerships with in-house and national A/V teams. Venues we service range from small conference rooms, to boutique hotels, to clubs and large convention centers. We also have experience hosting up to 25 simultaneous breakout sessions.

With 22 years of experience, Conference Geeks has assisted with conferences from 15 to 1,800 attendees, and we’re here to make events and meetings easier for clients!
