It was really interesting providing Audio Visual services for the Fifth Annual LG U.S. National Texting Competition in Manhattan on October 26th. Exhibit House NCompass designed a stunning background display utilizing two Panasonic High Definition 103" Plasma Displays and five 70" LED Displays.

Contestants had to text accurately on LG's unreleased DoublePlay Android phone, which features a split keyboard and two screens. After a full day of fast and furious competition with 12 other texters, 16-year-old Austin Wierschke from Rhinelander, WI won the competition. He took home a $50,000 prize! He intends to use it toward a college degree in architecture. This contest definitely gives new meaning to "sitting around twiddling your thumbs!"

We are expanding our ability to offer even better client service with the addition of two industry professionals to our Chandler corporate team.


Glenn Ray has been appointed Vice President of Operations. Glenn brings extensive industry experience through working with GES, Exhibitgroup/ Giltspur, Mice NA, MC2 and Hoffman Productions to name a few.

He has over 25 years experience of consistent success in achieving increased revenue, cost control, productivity and delivery of goals. Glenn has proven skills in leading highly skilled, cross-functional teams in design and development. He is responsible for the launch of leading-edge solutions and processes, including Just-in-Time, Total Quality Management, Lean Manufacturing, and Kaizen. He is an effective analyst, problem solver, and excellent communicator.

“We are so pleased to have Glenn joining our team, and look forward to even more substantial development within AV Dimensions,” said Andrew Wight, President and Director of Sales.

We also welcome new Account Manager, Fran Sutherland. Fran has more than twenty years of audio visual experience in everything from theatre production, teaching, event production, sales, cross-rentals and accounting within the industry. She began her career with an Indiana University Individualized Major Audio Technology and Theatre degree. She has since worked as an Audio Engineer on national and international tours, and taught Audio Engineering at Columbia College. She has earned an array of experience through her additional industry work at Clearwing Productions, Sunbelt Scenic Studios and AV Concepts.

Andrew said, “Fran has had a deep immersion in the events industry in varying areas of our business. We are very happy to have her join AV Dimensions, and look forward to her becoming an integral part of our team."
