Would you pay $96 a day for a simple HDMI cable? That is a typical charge made by in-house AV at venues and hotels for the daily rental of a $7 cable. Outrageous? Yes, very!
One of the many problems is that those costs are deemed acceptable – especially when compared to the overall budget for an event, meeting or conference, that can run in to 5 or 6 figures. Will this end up effecting attendee ticket costs? We discuss the current state of affairs, with real examples, and share some money saving tips.
Are we wrong? Are there justifiable reasons for such high rental costs? Is there anything that can be done? Leave a comment, especially if you are involved in in-house AV or have experienced these kind of practices. If you have a story to tell, get in touch – your personal details will be kept private.
