      3M Unitek Cindy Smith May 2014 ESS: Event Experience CommentChris White from AV was a super star in my mind.

But Chrisand the opther Chris went to work first thing and got it done with out any of customers knowing anything was wrong. So Chris White is a star and veryplesant to work with.

      Don Anthony Radio Show boot camp - In the last 26 years, I've done over 30 annual events, from LA, Vegas, Denver, Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans and Chicago. Our attendees are from the broadcast business which requires that our audio/visual quality is above the norm. I can say without hesitation, Chris White is, without exception, THE BEST I ever worked with. Knows his stuff, great with people, can solve issues quickly and drew raves from both our attendees and sponsors. Couldn't ask for a better associate."
