About Our Company

We are a national event production company, with our sole office proudly based in our hometown of Northwest Arkansas. We make flawless production scalable, serving event planners on their biggest days of their year by managing production. We support non-profits, agencies, Fortune 500 companies and educational clients for over one hundred of their events each year. We believe no message should be distracted by technical difficulties. We're a small business and a tight-knit team that values joy at work and a passion for what we do.

About Our Community

We are definitely biased when we say Northwest Arkansas is an ideal place to live and work. Although our operations take us all over the United States, avad3 will always call Northwest Arkansas home. Three Fortune 500 companies are headquartered here, and countless others have offices. The University of Arkansas, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and the Walton Arts Center provide a rich educational and cultural backdrop, and our location in the heart of the Ozarks near the Buffalo River and Devil's Den State Park creates a surplus of riches when it comes to outdoor opportunities. An extensive trail system and the active mountain biking and running communities make NWA a favorite of amateur and professional athletes alike. We have an excellent national airport providing direct flights to over 20 US cities. Our diverse population provides an atmosphere where there is always something new to experience and always space to thrive.
