We are an association of premium, independently owned AV companies united by collaboration, shared expertise, and a commitment to delivering exceptional events across borders.
The Beginnings
The Story of the AV Alliance
Founded in 2010 by Simon Ackermann, then CEO of Habegger in Zurich, the AV Alliance was built on a simple idea: to connect trusted local AV experts into one global network. By bringing together independent companies that share the same commitment to quality, reliability, and collaboration, the Alliance enables clients to access world-class event production wherever they are.
Through the exchange of knowledge, resources, and expertise, our Members deliver consistent, high-quality event experiences across borders—combining global reach with the responsiveness, local insight, and personal service that only a trusted local partner can provide.
Today, the AV Alliance has over 95 Members across six continents, nearly 60 countries and more than 120 locations, collectively delivering more than 130,000 projects a year.
