AVEX | Sightline Productions has been a full-service event design and production company since 2002 to help companies with full-staffing services with onsite equipment, hybrid models, or even equipment leasing programs.
In the fast-paced world of live events, success depends on more than creative vision—it requires precise coordination behind the scenes. From logistics and inventory to staffing and financials, operational efficiency is essential. That’s where IntelliEvent Lightning comes in.
When AVEX began searching for an all-in-one solution, Emily Ankeny, Director of People and Culture, played a pivotal role in evaluating the options. After a thorough review, AVEX chose IntelliEvent Lightning for its ability to align with the company’s evolving needs and structure. “It is the backbone of what we are doing,” Emily shared. “It’s a necessity, with features that make it faster and easier than using a spreadsheet.”
One of the key reasons AVEX selected IntelliEvent was the platform’s flexibility in managing multiple warehouses. For organizations with diverse inventories and distributed teams, this feature offers centralized control that helps reduce duplication, improve logistics, and support rapid scaling.
Emily is actively serving as a bridge between operational needs from AVEX and the IntelliEvent platform through the support portal and other forms of communication. IntelliEvent Lightning allows administrators to control access to the support portal for one or multiple users, helping teams stay focused and organized. As Emily noted, “We are pleased and excited about the customer service, which has made it easier to solve problems with IntelliEvent.”
Emily has also participated in past IntelliEvent Profitability Summits, an annual gathering at IntelliEvent’s headquarters in Monterey, California, that brings together users, peers, and the IntelliEvent team to exchange ideas and explore innovations. Reflecting on the experience, she shared, “I like the focus topics and feedback from other companies. It leads to more interesting, open discussions. Getting the comparison to how other companies use IntelliEvent Lightning—it feels like a safe environment to share.”
For AVEX and many others in the event production space, IntelliEvent Lightning is more than just a software solution. It’s a strategic partner that supports better decisions, stronger collaboration, and continued growth.
