Audiovisual technology in Duivendrecht

AV productions on the edge of Amsterdam-Zuidoost

Duivendrecht is modest in size, but its location makes it an attractive place for gatherings. The centre belongs to Ouder-Amstel and borders directly on the business heart of Amsterdam-Zuidoost, with the area around the Arena, the Amstelzone and the office strips along the A2 and the railway lines within easy reach. As a result, we see a mixed range of requests here: one moment a sharp corporate presentation in a meeting room, the next a private party at a village venue. HuurAV works out of Amsterdam and, for each assignment, determines which equipment and staffing suit your space, audience and programme.

Why the location works so well

Duivendrecht benefits from exceptionally good accessibility. Station Duivendrecht is a hub for train and metro, the connection to the A2 and the A10 ring road is just around the corner, and the Zuidoost business district practically begins where the village ends. For organisers, that means guests who arrive smoothly and a venue that is easy to find for speakers, suppliers and audiences alike. For us, it means a short, predictable route in and ample loading and unloading options at most business locations.

Suitable gatherings and venues

Because of the proximity of the offices, many requests revolve around corporate formats. Think of corporate events such as kick-offs and client days, and of presentations and conferences in an auditorium or company restaurant, where speech intelligibility and a clear picture come first. In the village centre and the halls around the Rijksstraatweg, anniversaries, members’ evenings and parties and corporate celebrations take place, and now and then we handle the technology for a wedding. For each type, we choose a setup that matches the scale and atmosphere of the space, from an intimate hall to a larger event venue in the immediate surroundings.

The technology we bring along

For clear sound we position speaker sets tailored to the acoustics, with wireless microphones and monitoring for speakers, panels or a band. With lighting we give a room character: ambient lighting, wall washes and focused stage light that directs attention. Under video fall large screens or projection, cameras and a vision mix that switches smoothly between presentations and live imagery, also when you want to extend the gathering into one of our hybrid events and livestreams. We deploy special effects sparingly: with special effects such as low-lying smoke, confetti or sparkulars we mark precisely the moment when a highlight is meant to land. You can view completed productions in our portfolio.

Smooth trips back and forth between Amsterdam and Duivendrecht

Because Duivendrecht sits so close to the city, the logistics stay manageable. Our crew sets off from Amsterdam, arrives well ahead of time and builds the complete installation. After the technical check, the technicians stay behind the controls throughout the programme, so that sound, image and light are right at every moment. If the event runs over or something unexpected comes up, we adjust on the spot. Afterwards we dismantle everything and hand the space back tidy. That way you keep a single point of contact for the entire production.
