EventEQ, an ETP company, acquires ChoiceLIVE (formerly Upstage Video)
We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our Entertainment Technology Partners network. EventEQ, an ETP company, has acquired ChoiceLIVE, formerly known as Upstage Video. ChoiceLIVE is a full-service event technology company based in Pennsylvania with foundations rooted in their high-quality video services. For over 15 years, company Founder and President Doug Murray has demonstrated that ChoiceLIVE is people first and foremost and has cultivated a strong reputation in show services and community culture.
Consolidated under the EventEQ brand, the combined organization will continue to have the support of the vast ETP network of brands and service customers around the world, building additional resources, expertise, and industry connections. For ETP, this expansion marks a strategic move into Pennsylvania and the Northeast corridor, creating new opportunities and expanding their global presence.
"We are so excited to have ChoiceLIVE become a part of our EventEQ family. We have known Doug Murray for many years and have always been impressed by his dedication to excellence. ChoiceLIVE’s culture, capabilities, and inventory could not be more synergistic with EventEQ."
BJ Singh, President of ETP
“This acquisition is an incredibly exciting milestone for us. We've had a long-standing, collaborative relationship with the leadership teams at EventEQ and LMG (ETP’s partner brands) for years. Now, being able to offer our clients access to this expansive global resource pool is a game-changer.”
Doug Murray, Founder of ChoiceLIVE
Murray further emphasizes, “Our pride has always been in our ability to combine a boutique approach with a global reach, providing our clients with the best equipment and the most talented technical minds worldwide. Joining EventEQ and the ETP family of brands allows us to build on this legacy. Our mission remains the same, our team remains intact—the only shifts you'll notice are in the company name and the size of our warehouse.”
Through the shared values of community culture and striving for continuous progress, EventEQ is well-positioned to welcome the ChoiceLIVE team and provide clients with seamless, innovative, and sustainable event experiences.
