Sound Investment was co-founded in 1998 by Dan Agne and Dean McNaughton as a privately held consulting and systems design firm in Chicago, Illinois. The company enjoyed immediate success due to its unsurpassed dedication to its client's needs and expectations as well as its meticulous approach to project management. In just three short years, Sound Investment grew from a small local firm to a national force in the industry winning numerous accolades and awards for their unsurpassed work. Looking for ways to expand their growing business and recognizing an increasing demand in the entertainment and events industry for high quality production services the co-founders decided to create a second company under Sound Investment banner. In 2000, the co-founders partnered with Peter Vanek to lay the foundation Sound Investment A/V which was to become a full service production company offering sound, video, lighting, scenic and staging solutions. As most great enterprises do, Sound Investment A/V began with a modest start but quickly grew to be a top tier provider in the industry. Over the years Sound Investment A/V has played a major role in thousands of successful events both nationally and internationally and continues to expand its ever growing range of services. Now in its tenth year of business, Sound Investment has evolved from a small consulting firm to a national corporation with offices in Chicago, Miami, New York, Las Vegas an LA servicing both the permanent installation and production industries. The relationship between Sound Investment and its clients is synergistic. Over the years, a unique culture has evolved; a culture that is client focused and emphasizes a partnership based approach that has helped Sound Investment to develop solid long term relationships with their clients. Today, both companies continue to flourish. Sound Investment and Sound Investment A/V are constantly adding team members to their staff to serve expanding clientele and updating inventory with the latest in technology. One of the benefits of serving two unique but related industries is that both companies enjoy multiple resource pools that inform designs and acquisitions. In 2006, recognizing a growing need for additional support on installation projects, Sound Investment added founding member Todd Konecy as a partner whose extensive engineering background has proven to be an invaluable resource. Looking towards the future, both companies remain focused on continuing to deliver exceptional service and flawless project execution. Sound Investment is beginning its second decade of existence with a national organization that retains and expands the company's original business model by developing products and services to serve the varying and ever-changing needs of a diverse clientele.

I am a conference convener for a 2000 delegate international medical conference. We had a very negative experience with SI who we used in June 2015.



For our conference (SMACC Chicago), we spent approximately 350000 USD and had multiple issues that have created a lasting damage to the conference’s brand and to the reputations of our speakers.



There were many, many issues but the key ones relate to the major disruption to speaker presentations and the inability to provide timely responses and solutions to the presenting problems.



SI completely failed to acknowledge or accept that as the presentations were being recorded for future release, the quality of the speaker presentations / productions were seriously compromised by failures onsite.



While SI were briefed that these presentations were both a major source of high-quality information for committed attendees and also a major marketing tool for future SMACC events, they took no responsibility for the damage to not only SMACC’s reputation but the presenters themselves.



The technical issues that took place were a result of a faulty slide advance system, lack of attention to detail by the operators and SI not being solutions driven.



One of the main briefs for the SMACC conference was the recording of the sessions for post conference distribution. Post event it was discovered upon editing of the material that 19 of the speaker presentations were either missing or incomplete. While SI have failed to provide any explanation of how or why this occurred, our AV consultants in Australia can only come to one plausible conclusion that simply the SI managed operators in the specific sessions, either completely failed to hit the record button and or were delayed in setting the record button.



The missing sessions are a resounding example of a poorly executed service contract, a complete lack of professionalism in responding to a serious damaging situation and fundamentally falling short of basic professional client servicing.



The details of the technical problems we encountered are too numerous to describe in detail but suffice to say that we would NOT recommend SI to other conference organisers.
