What we do in Atlantic City
We do the AV for casino ballroom conferences, boardwalk festivals, beachfront concerts, hotel keynotes, awards dinners, and trade shows at the Convention Center. Our AC crew handles load-in, setup, live engineering, and strike. We have the local knowledge of which properties have the freight elevator on the south side, which ballrooms have rigging points, and which GMs to call when something changes at 6am on a show day.
Our inventory ships out of the AC office: JBL SRX 910LA line arrays, Midas M32 consoles, Shure ULX-D wireless, Blackmagic ATEM switchers, LED video walls, intelligent lighting, and full backline. Everything is tested before it leaves the warehouse.

Boardwalk and festival work
AC is a festival town. We do the AV for:
- Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival — multi-stage outdoor event
- AC Boardwalk Adventures — outdoor concert series
- Miss America competitions and preliminaries — broadcast-quality TV production
- Beach concerts on the boardwalk — JBL SRX line arrays, weather-rated gear
- PRCA rodeo and equestrian events — staging, lighting, sound
- Impressions Expo Atlantic City — beauty industry trade show
- NJAA Conference and expo circuit — multi-day conventions
- South Jersey Women's Health Expo — annual consumer event
- Beach Classic Gymnastics — broadcast-quality sports event
For outdoor events, we factor in wind load on line arrays, weather-rated enclosures for subs, and backup power distribution. Load-in on the boardwalk requires specific vehicle permits; we handle that.
What we ship to Atlantic City

- Crew: Lead A1, A2, lighting designer, video engineer, camera operators, stage technicians, IATSE Local 77 on call for union work.
Why AC event planners and venue teams pick HPS
- Local, not regional. Our AC base is inside the Showboat on the boardwalk, 15 minutes from the Convention Center. We are not driving in from Philly.
- Showboat relationship. We are already a preferred outside AV partner for the Showboat's convention floor.
- The Encore alternative. If the planner brings us as the outside provider, the math is better for the planner. We will help negotiate the outside-vendor liaison fee down or out as part of the room block.
- Tested twice, backed up once. Every Production package ships with a backup wireless mic, a backup projector, and a redundant console. If something fails, we replace it before the show notices.
- Same gear, better service. JBL, Midas, Yamaha, Shure, Blackmagic, Samsung, Epson. The same brands the in-house provider uses, with a tech-forward ordering experience and a real human on the phone.
The Encore math for Atlantic City venues
If you're a hotel GM or sales director: the in-house AV provider at most AC properties charges the venue 30 to 50% of every invoice. That commission is baked into the planner's quote. With HPS as the white-label partner, the venue gets a transparent rev-share on what we invoice, and the planner pays 30 to 40% less. The venue wins on volume; the planner wins on price.
