Audi Grand Opening

A national association's largest general session of the year, staged with a four-week turnaround and zero surprises on show day — captured here start to finish.

Your job simplified

What we take off your plate

Creative

So you’re not writing the run-of-show and the theme deck yourself, at midnight, alone.

Learn more →

Production

So show-day logistics are someone else’s job to lose sleep over — not yours.

Learn more →

AV & Lighting

So the room looks and sounds like it was designed, not assembled the morning of.

Learn more →

Project Management

So there’s one point of contact for the whole thing, not five vendors to coordinate yourself.

Where we’ve worked

Nationwide reach, run out of Iowa.

From general sessions to product launches, we’ve staged shows coast to coast — home base stays the same.

The CLE Crew

Real people. Red trucks. Your show.

What started with one pick-up truck is now a full crew of engineers, producers, and planners based in Des Moines. They’re the people who plan, build, and run every CLE show.

Get to know the crew

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit — sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore, and the room never once felt like a live broadcast held together with gaffer tape.
