Corporate & conference
EVERY SEAT HEARS
EVERY WORD.
General sessions, conferences, awards nights, and presentations across Southern California. Flag Systems has been doing this since 1972 — we own the inventory, we crew it ourselves, and the keynote goes out clean.

Speech is harder than music. We build for the back row.
SYSTEMS BY ROOM
Hotel ballrooms are low, wide, and carpeted. Convention halls are cavernous. A room that sounds fine with a band in it can turn a CEO's keynote to mush. We design coverage for the seats you're actually selling.
Ballroom general sessions
Low trim heights, air walls, and chandeliers in the way. Compact hangs and fills that keep every seat inside the pattern without blocking sightlines to the screen.
Compact arrays · Delay fills · Low-profile rigging
Convention centers
Hard floors, high ceilings, long reverb tails, and house rules on rigging and labor. We advance with the venue so load-in day holds no surprises.
Distributed delays · Rigging plot · Union-venue advance
Arena-scale meetings
Sales kickoffs and annual meetings at concert scale, with video and scenic to integrate. We work alongside your production designer, not around them.
Flown mains & sides · Rear delays · Video-audio integration
Offsites & non-venues
Hangars, ranches, rooftops, and resort lawns. Rooms never designed for sound, plus power and weather to solve. We've been building these for decades.
Power planning · Weather cover · SPL at property line
WHAT SHIPS TO YOUR SHOW
Quoted line by line, so you can compare it to anyone.
Redundancy is standard, not an upsell. Spare wireless channels built and coordinated, backup desk configured, and a tech who stays in the room. Your keynote gets one take.
No "full AV package" with a single number at the bottom. Here is the standard general session build — we scale it up or down from here.
Working with a video or production vendor? Good. We'll take the run of show, agree the feed list and comms plan in advance, and show up knowing who calls what. Most audio problems at conferences are handoff problems.

What the day actually looks like.
EVENT DAY
01 / Advance
Run of show first
Script, presenter count, mic types, feed list, and room diagram reviewed. You get a written scope and a coverage plan before anything ships.
02 / Load-in
Quiet and on schedule
Dock times, freight elevators, and house rules handled in advance. Set to the hotel's window so we're not the reason the room turns late.
03 / Rehearsal
Mic fittings and cue-to-cue
Presenters fitted and levels set per person. RF scanned and coordinated. Every cue walked with video, lighting, and stage management.
04 / Show
Two sets of hands
A1 rides the room and the feeds; A2 stays backstage swapping packs and catching presenters before they walk. Spares within arm's reach.
05 / Strike
Out for the room turn
Struck on the venue's schedule, room left the way we found it, and a straight answer if anything went sideways.
THE PEOPLE
Corporate audio goes wrong in small, human ways — a lav taped wrong, a pack swapped late, a stream feed nobody checked. Our crews have run enough of these that the small things are handled before you'd think to ask.
- A1 and A2 on every general session, not one tech covering both
- Comfortable working under your producer or production company
- Experienced with hotel, convention center, and union-venue rules
- One point of contact from advance through strike
The gear is rentable. The judgment is not.
NEXT STEP
Send the run of show. We'll send back a real number.
Dates, venue, attendee count, and how many people are speaking. You'll hear back with a line-by-line scope — usually same day.
