Why CMPS

Complete Meeting Production Services (CMPS) was founded in 2016 by industry veteran Thomas Sterner, bringing over three decades of hands-on experience in live event production to clients across the globe. Specializing in audiovisual production, meeting management, and technical direction, CMPS delivers high-impact solutions for conferences, trade shows, and corporate events of all sizes.

At CMPS, we believe that flawless execution starts with strategic planning, creative collaboration, and experienced leadership. Whether it’s a high-stakes general session, an international awards show, or a 100-room breakout program, we bring the expertise, crew, and technology to bring your vision to life.

Here’s what we bring to every show:

1. Experience You Can Feel

We don’t just show up—we show up ready. With decades of AV production behind us, we know how to deliver under pressure.

2. A Team That’s Actually a Team

We collaborate, we communicate, and we take pride in making you look good. You’ll never wonder who’s doing what or if something’s falling through the cracks.

3. The Right Tools for the Job

From high-end gear to custom solutions, we don’t just bring tech, we bring the right tech for your show. And we know how to use it.

4. Creativity That Elevates

We bring fresh ideas to every table—whether it’s stage design, lighting cues, or rethinking a run of show to better engage the audience.

5. Calm in the Chaos

Live events are unpredictable. Our job is to be the calm in the storm catching issues before they escalate, and solving problems before you even know they existed.

At CMPS AV, we don’t just check boxes. We build trust, show after show.
