DALLAS , July 16, 2013 – AVT Event Technologies, Inc., one of the leading technology providers of innovative in-house audiovisual, staging, and production services at hotels and resorts nationwide, today announced the appointment of Eddy Eisenberg as the company’s new president. One of the company’s original founders, Eisenberg replaces AVT’s former President, Martin Kwitschau.
Eisenberg’s vision and leadership have helped establish AVT as one of the premiere hospitality technology enterprises providing premium quality in-house services and technology solutions for hotel partners.

As President of AVT, Eisenberg will be responsible for bringing more of Freeman’s diverse offerings in the hospitality technology industry under one solution-oriented umbrella. Eisenberg will oversee efforts to further showcase how the brands within Freeman’s Audio Visual division, including AVT and Encore, bring hotel partners unmatched value by offering exclusive access to next generation technologies and a superior approach to customer service.
“Eddy Eisenberg is one of the most knowledgeable executives in the audiovisual industry,” said Ken Sanders, President, Freeman AV. “The trail of accomplishments and success that follow his career are not only a testament to his sharp understanding of the industry, but also his inherent business expertise. He has a proven track record in the acquisition and disposition of audiovisual companies and he has been instrumental in the structuring of numerous national contracts. We are excited to move into this next phase of AVT’s operations with Eddy at the helm.”
Eisenberg has more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality and audiovisual technology industries, most recently serving as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at AVT. Prior to AVT, Eisenberg served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Presentation Services, then part of Caribiner International, an audiovisual and business center management company that serviced more than 600 hotels throughout the United States, Mexico and South America. During his time with Presentation Services, Eisenberg played an integral role in establishing it as the largest hotel audiovisual company in the United States through both internal growth and strategic acquisitions.
