About Bano Event Technology

Bano Event Technology is a Dutch event production, audiovisual technology and stand construction partner based in Groningen, the Netherlands. Since 1963, we have supported companies, agencies, institutions and event organisers with reliable technical production for live events, corporate events, conferences, congresses, roadshows, product launches, exhibition stands, livestreams and hybrid productions.

International clients work with Bano when they need one practical European partner for AV, staging, lighting, video, stand construction, logistics, crew planning and on site execution. Instead of coordinating separate suppliers for every discipline, clients get one experienced team that keeps the technical side clear, organised and reliable.

Bano is especially suitable for international organisations that need technical event support in the Netherlands or across Europe. We are a strong fit for corporate event teams, event agencies, congress organisers, marketing teams and exhibitors that need more than standard AV rental.

We are often involved when an event requires a combination of planning, technical production, AV, staging, lighting, video, logistics, stand construction, livestreaming or hybrid event support. This makes Bano useful for roadshows, product launches, executive events, congresses, exhibition projects and repeatable event formats across different locations.

Less suitable

Bano is usually less suitable for very small one item rental requests, last minute consumer events or projects where only a single piece of equipment is needed without technical support. Our strongest value is in projects where preparation, reliability, multiple disciplines and professional execution matter.

At Bano, everything starts with creating a strong experience. For more than 60 years, we have helped organisations tell their story through event technology, audiovisual production and reliable technical execution.

Our name also reflects the way we work. BANO is built around four Dutch words: Betrouwbaar, Ambitieus, Nuchter and Ontzorgend. These words are part of our Dutch working culture: clear, practical, responsible and focused on getting things done properly.

Betrouwbaar means reliable.
We do what we promise, prepare carefully and stay accountable when it matters most.

Ambitieus means ambitious.
We keep improving our technical solutions, production process and project approach.

Nuchter means down-to-earth.
We communicate clearly, think practically and avoid unnecessary complexity.

Ontzorgend means taking care of the process.
We help clients reduce pressure and uncertainty by organising the technical side from idea to execution.

Together, these four Dutch values describe what clients can expect from Bano: a practical, experienced and reliable partner for events, AV productions, exhibition stands, studio recordings and permanent AV installations.

Why international clients work with Bano

Producing an event in another country can quickly become complex. Venues have different access rules, technical facilities, build times, power options and supplier routines. For roadshows, congresses and multi-country event programmes, that complexity grows with every location.

Bano helps international clients by turning the technical side of an event into one clear production structure. We think through the AV setup, staging, lighting, video, logistics, crew planning, venue coordination and technical documentation before the event reaches the build-up phase.

That makes Bano especially useful for companies planning events in the Netherlands or across Europe, where reliability, clear communication and practical execution matter.

Team Bano

Everything we do is a team effort. Behind every Bano project is a dedicated in-house team of more than 20 permanent specialists, all working towards the same goal: making technical production feel clear, reliable and well organised.

Our team brings together project managers, AV specialists, stand builders, logistics planners, warehouse crew, 3D designers, studio technicians and office support. Together, they make sure events, exhibition stands, AV installations and studio productions are prepared properly and delivered professionally.

For international clients, that joined-up way of working is especially valuable. A European event, roadshow, congress project or exhibition stand often involves many moving parts. Venue details, transport, crew, staging, sound, lighting, video, branding and on-site execution all need to fit together.

At Bano, you do not have to coordinate all of that yourself. You get one fixed contact person for your project, while our internal team makes sure the right specialists are involved at the right moment.

That makes communication easier, keeps responsibility clear and helps prevent details from falling between departments. It also means we can move quickly, work flexibly and scale with the ambition of your project.

From a compact presentation setup to an international stand build, from a studio recording to a full technical production for a congress or roadshow: the team behind Bano is built to make it work.

Below you will find the people in front of and behind the scenes who work every day on our shared mission: engaging audiences.

From local sound company to European production partner

Bano was founded in 1963 in the north of the Netherlands. The company started with sound and lighting, and over the years grew into a broader event technology and production partner.

That history still matters today. Live events have changed, but the basics have not: the sound needs to be clear, the timing needs to be right, the setup needs to be reliable and the audience needs to experience the message without technical distraction.

Today, Bano combines that practical event mentality with modern AV production, hybrid event technology, stand construction, logistics, studio production and European event support.
