GES expands North American event production capabilities

The business also produces high-end entertainment events and provides in-house audio visual services to hotels, arenas, and conference centres. This expansion builds on the acquisition of Blitz Communications in the UK (2014) and enables GES in the US to serve more fully the live event needs of clients with audio visual and event production services that engage participants and enhance productions.

“We selected the business of ON Event Services because of its expertise in high-end AV production and extensive library of AV technologies. The addition accelerates our position and takes us to the next level of serving our clients with a full range of event and technology services,” said Steve Moster, president of GES and president and chief executive officer of Viad Corp.

“The extensive event production capabilities of the business of ON Event Services perfectly complement GES’ core live event services for corporate events, exhibitions, conferences and exhibits.  I’m excited to welcome ON Event Services’ leadership team and its more than 225 talented team members to the GES family.”

The acquired business of ON Event Services will operate and go to market as ON Services, a GES Company, and Stan Milner, president of the company, will continue in his role, reporting directly to Moster.
