Event Production and AV Technology for the People Who Cannot Afford Guesswork.
Forty Two supports the organizations, venues, producers, and public teams that need events and systems to work the first time.
We provide event production, AV systems integration, activation, direction, and onsite infrastructure for live events, venues, businesses, institutions, and public spaces.
Every audience is different.
Every space has pressure.
Every project needs a plan.
We listen. We design. We build. We execute.
We Do More.

EVENT PRODUCERS & ORGANIZERS
When the show opens, everything has to be ready.
Promoters, production managers, creative directors, agencies, and event leads need more than equipment. They need a partner who understands the pace, pressure, and precision of live work.
We support the people responsible for making the event happen — from first advance to final cue.
- Concert and festival promoters
- Touring artists and production managers
- Corporate and agency event producers
- Nonprofit and community event teams
- Broadcast, media, and live content teams
- Creative directors and show callers
We provide complete event production, technical direction, staging, audio, lighting, video, LED, power, rigging, infrastructure, logistics, and show support.
We do not treat these as separate parts.
We build one production environment.
That is how events run on time, on spec, and under control.
Venue & Facility Operators
Your space has to perform every day.
Venues depend on systems that are reliable, repeatable, and easy to use. It does not matter if the room is hosting a concert, meeting, service, banquet, press event, or public program. The technology has to support the moment.
We help venues operate with confidence.
- Arenas and amphitheaters
- Theaters and performing arts centers
- Convention and event centers
- Clubs, halls, and multi-use venues
- Houses of worship
- Schools, universities, and athletic facilities
We design, install, and support AV systems built for real users and real operating conditions. Audio, video, control, lighting, conference systems, networked AV, and infrastructure are engineered to make the space easier to run.
Not just impressive on install day.
Reliable every day after.
Corporate, Institutional & Nonprofit Teams
Professional events need professional execution.
Corporate, nonprofit, and institutional events carry a message. A leadership meeting, fundraising event, gala, town hall, product launch, or public presentation is not just a gathering. It is a reflection of the organization behind it.
We help teams deliver with clarity and confidence.
- Corporate leadership teams
- Nonprofit development and event teams
- Marketing and communications departments
- HR and internal communications teams
- Foundations and community organizations
- Agencies supporting business and nonprofit clients
We provide production, AV, staging, lighting, video, livestream support, event direction, audience engagement support, and activation planning.
The goal is not just to make the room look good.
The goal is to make the message land.
Civic, Government & Public Sector
Public communication leaves no room for failure.
Public events require clarity, control, and accountability. Whether the audience is in the room, outside, online, or watching through media coverage, the systems have to perform.
We support civic and public-sector teams with calm, disciplined execution.
- City, county, and state agencies
- Public affairs and communications teams
- Campaigns and political event teams
- Emergency operations and press teams
- Public institutions and community organizations
- Civic event planners and municipal partners
We provide live production, AV support, press event systems, public address systems, livestream support, staging, lighting, power, and technical coordination for public-facing events.
When the message matters, the system behind it matters too.
Creative Teams, Agencies & Content Producers
Creative ideas need technical discipline.
Creative teams need partners who understand intent. Not vendors who slow the process down.
We work with agencies, producers, directors, studios, and brand teams to turn ideas into experiences that can actually be executed.
- Creative agencies
- Brand experience teams
- Independent producers and directors
- Content studios
- Podcast and recording projects
- Marketing teams and campaign producers
We help shape the experience, then build the systems that support it. Audio, lighting, video, LED, staging, control, content playback, recording, and live direction all work together.
The creative leads.
The technical work supports it.
The audience feels the result.
