Neil deGrasse Tyson is an accomplished astrophysicist, author, and science communicator. His popularity has grown from his ability to popularize complex scientific concepts, particularly in astrophysics, through his engaging public speaking, television appearances, and popular science books.

When he was last in Maine, 7 years ago, Dr. Tyson and the crew got into a technologically sophisticated laser pointer battle. We did NOT win. It wasn't even close.

This time, the AV Technik crew chose to engage with Dr. Tyson in a more rudimentary way, and we got him to play along. Until next time... ' Dr. Tyson!

Colby College and have been collaborating successfully since 2016. We're excited to extend this partnership to a new department this semester, the Goldfarb Institute for Public Affairs.

The Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs is Colby’s hub for politics, policy, and the press. They bring influential leaders, policymakers, activists, journalists, and innovative thinkers to connect the Colby community to public affairs. Through their integrated approach of dialogue, experiential learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration, they empower students to think critically, engage meaningfully, and drive change. The Goldfarb Center is committed to shaping dialogue—not just at Colby, but in the world beyond.

One of the highlights of the semester has been their new signature In the News series. These Wednesday night gatherings have quickly become a cornerstone of campus life, bringing students together over food, friendship, and thoughtful conversations about pressing issues related to politics, policy, and the press. Colby is a place where future leaders are shaped, and the Goldfarb Center and the In The News series are playing a central role in that mission.

Thank you Goldfarb Center for welcoming AV Technik to these engaging and critically important conversations.

Winter tends to be a slower time of year at and one we fill with internal projects, training and maintenance. With an unprecedented 40 event days in January and February, 2025 is off to an epic start. A new partnership we are tremendously excited about was with the Camden Conference.

The Camden Conference was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit, non-partisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues. For 38 years they have been holding the conference and we were honored to be brought in as their new technical experience partner.

The 2025 Camden Conference looked at some of the specific drivers that challenge democracies around the world, including immigration, religious nationalism, the role of polarization and disinformation, and the failure of progressive reforms to remedy economic inequality.

Thank you Camden Conference for your trust and collaboration. The AV Technik team loved being a part of your vision and look forward to many more in the years ahead.

Bath Iron Works is a full service shipyard specializing in the design, construction and support of complex surface ships, from destroyers to cruisers, providing the U.S. Navy’s most advanced, high quality surface combatants for more than a century. A christening ceremony is a formal tradition that involves blessing a new ship before it sets sail, and is said to bring good luck and safe travel to the vessel and its crew. BIW has partnered with for over 10 years on these high profile ceremonies. The relationship requires that we comply with strict United States Government security protocols, public outdoor safety regulations and a heightened awareness around an A-list of government and military officials.
