As we head into the fall, we're looking forward to working with new clients, as well as many we've worked with before.
In late 2019, COVID turned the meetings industry on its head. As a result, everyone in this industry who managed to stay in business pivoted to expand services beyond what had ever been offered before. New technologies were invented or adapted, new equipment was added, and new skills were built across the industry. I'm proud to say, Cheshire was among those industry leaders.
As a result, we are now positioned to deliver a much broader array of meetings and events services than were available even 18 months ago. So, if we can assist you with any live, hybrid, or virtual events -- no matter what size or scope -- we are here to serve you.
To learn how we can bring your meetings and events to life, contact Justin@CheshireAV.com or call (585) 325-4250.

Cheshire Partners with the YWCA on Stand Against Racism
|
|
Across the U.S., the YWCA takes takes "a Stand Against Racism every day by raising awareness about the impact of institutional and structural racism and by building community among those who work for racial justice. Stand Against Racism provides the opportunity for communities across the United States to find an issue or cause that inspires them to take a #StandAgainstRacism and to unite their voices to educate, advocate, and promote racial justice."
We had the opportunity to work with Dr. Myra P. Henry whose testimonial you can watch to the right, and with Holly Beaston, Director of Development & Marketing who shared, “As a fundraiser I have had the opportunity to manage many events over the course of my career and have worked with many AV companies. By far, Cheshire AV provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. From the first touch point to the last, the entire team appeared dedicated to my event's success and they went out of their way time and time again to ensure my satisfaction. Cheshire AV made me feel like my mission was their mission. Thanks to Cheshire we exceeded all of our event fundraising goals (crushed them, in fact) and we have been told by many community members that this was one of the best produced events they have attended. We are Cheshire fans!”
We appreciate the opportunity to work on such an important initiative, and look forward to working with the YWCA of Rochester & Monroe County again!

On the Road with Cheshire

A Sweet Show with MSM
In June, Cheshire went on the road with MSM to the Indiana Convention Center for the Sweets & Snacks Expo, where thousands of confectionery and snack retailers, manufacturers and suppliers gathered to demo product innovations, share insights and make valuable industry connections.
The "players" included the world’s leading candy makers and the foremost snack manufacturers in the country.
To create the dynamic exhibit envisioned by MSM and Ferrero, Cheshire used 336 2.5mm pixel pitch BeMatrix LEDskin tiles to build out three double sided towers and an additional 6x6 built-in LED wall. We also provided a full lighting package with wash lighting and signage lighting consisting of approximately 50 fixtures, and a color changing ceiling feature in the hanging sign consisting of 24 Color Force II fixtures.
