I did something similar during the rave days and the memories are making my blood pressure spike. It was the most annoying and time consuming way that I have ever lost a lot of money. I could have quite literally paid you $10,000 to waterboard me and it would have been cheaper, more efficient and about as pleasant.

For sure, whatever business endeavor you undertake, it's important to plan and execute effectively. I mention this aspect of the Pro AV services industry because someone I know started this way and quickly built a significant business supplying and managing video displays for events like Glastonbury, major acts like U2. This is a significant and growing market:

"The global event pro-av services market size was valued at $28.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $56.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2031."

Adding the creative VDJ sugar on to could be a good niche.

C'mon man, you gotta do story time now. Can't dangle one in front of us like that.

Yeah, you really gotta love it to do it. Otherwise, it's like buying, hauling, setting up, and running your own sound and lighting system, then DJing from start to finish, and nobody noticing.

That last part is only true if everything went perfectly smoothly. Every single attendee will notice (or have it pointed out to them immediately) if your display glitches!
