Western Kentucky's Convention Center, Managed Right

Owensboro is my primary Western Kentucky hub. RiverPark Center — a 1,496-seat performing arts venue on the Ohio River — hosts galas, benefit concerts, and formal award programs that require a production standard most local vendors can't match. The Owensboro Convention Center runs mid-size and large conferences on a larger conference floor in downtown Owensboro. The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum offers a distinctive exhibit-hall setting for private and corporate functions. The Depot Event Venue rounds out the market for corporate and social gatherings across Daviess County.

Most Owensboro AV vendors are generalist rental companies — they drop off equipment and leave. Managed AV with an on-site technician who arrives before your event, tests the system in your specific room, operates it throughout, and troubleshoots in real time is a different product. At a RiverPark Center gala or an Owensboro Convention Center conference, the difference between managed and drop-off is visible in the first 10 minutes. Owensboro is Zone 1 — about 35 miles and 45–60 minutes from Evansville — and the preparation standard doesn't change with the distance, and there's no travel fee added to your quote.

AV Use Cases in Owensboro

What I Bring to Your Event

Every job is configured to the specific room — a RiverPark Center performance hall behaves differently from an Owensboro Convention Center conference floor, and both differ from the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum's exhibit-hall acoustics. Room scale, ceiling height, outdoor versus indoor conditions, and sight lines are assessed before a cable is run.

Two Ways I Work

Managed AV vs. Drop-Off Rental

Most AV rental companies hand you a case and walk away. Drop-off rental for a small Owensboro meeting runs $200–$400+. That covers the hardware — not setup, not operation, not anyone on-site when something fails. A RiverPark Center gala or an Owensboro Convention Center conference is not the event where you want a case of equipment and no technician when something goes wrong. Owensboro is about 35 miles from Evansville — backup equipment travels with me and stays in the room.

• Shows up 60–90 minutes early — every time, every event, no exceptions
• Sets everything up — projector, screen, mics, sound positioned and tested
• Tests your presentation in advance — fonts, videos, transitions confirmed on the actual equipment
• Runs the AV for your entire event — your team never touches a cable, start to finish
• Backup gear on every truck — speakers, mics, and mixer. The switch happens before your audience notices.
• Tears down and loads out — you don't move a single case when your event wraps

Who's Running Your AV

I'm Terry Tunks. Before running events across the Tri-State and Southern Illinois, I spent four seasons in Daytona Beach producing national brand activations at scale — four simultaneous live stages, 10,000+ people per event, running concurrently. That's where the operational discipline that runs through every engagement was built. Not in a classroom. In the kind of environment where a bad transition in front of 10,000 people is simply not an option.

I've been producing live AV and DJ events since 1987. For the majority of events, I'm personally on-site — from setup through strike. For larger productions or when multiple events fall on the same date, I draw on a vetted crew of approved AV technicians held to the same prep standard. You'll know who's running your event before the day — not the morning of.

I hold a Business Communications degree from Western Kentucky University. 1,200+ events. Zero no-shows on record.

Need a DJ Too? One Call.

Booking AV rental and a DJ or corporate MC together means one invoice, one setup crew, and a bundle discount below the sum of individual rates. No coordinating between vendors. No gap between the AV technician and the DJ on who handles what.

Bundle pricing is quoted as a combined rate — always below the sum of individual services. Ask when you call.
