Stephen O’Connor is the Founder of O’Design Productions & Consulting, an AV procurement, consulting, and production partner built for event and meeting planners who need clarity, control, and confidence. For 10 years, Stephen has challenged the way AV has always been done — helping replace confusion with clarity, vendor pressure with advocacy, and costly surprises with smarter solutions. He founded O’Design after recognizing what the AV industry was missing: a true advocate for the client. O’Design was created to make AV better, clearer, more transparent, and more client-focused for the people responsible for delivering exceptional events. Through strategic AV procurement, expert consulting, and hands-on production leadership, Stephen and the O’Design team help planners protect budgets, simplify decisions, strengthen contracts, compare vendors, manage venue requirements, and deliver better event outcomes. O’Design’s core services include AV Procurement and AV Consulting, combining logistics, cost control, vendor strategy, quote review, contract support, and execution into one seamless client-first experience. Stephen is known as a strategist, client ally, and authority in event technology strategy, helping organizations cut through complexity, protect their budgets, and deliver exceptional live, virtual, and hybrid event experiences. Under his leadership, O’Design has reshaped what clients should expect from an AV partner: clear guidance first, team-perfected execution next, and measurable results every time. As O’Design celebrates 10 years in business, Stephen remains focused on the promise that started it all: AV should feel seamless, dependable, transparent, and built around the client’s needs — not the other way around. AV Reimagined: 10 Years of Disrupting AV for the Better Client-Focused. Solution-Driven. Planner-Protected. Performance-Proven. 10 Years of Clarity, Control, and Confidence.
